The SEAI Smart Home Hackathon will see participants gather in DCU's Alpha campus where they will be divided into teams and set four challenges; the user experience challenge, the homeowner feedback and behaviour challenge, the energy supply challenge and the home automation challenge.
All challenges were set with one goal in mind; how we can radically enhance the way we use energy in the home. The teams will pitch their solutions to a panel of judges with the overall winners announced at a prize giving ceremony on the Sunday.
The hackathon is open to engineers, designers, innovators and entrepreneurs.
