On December 24th, a highly anticipated industry event—the 2025 Smart Home Market Innovation Conference and Industry Year-End Gala, themed “Gathering Strength for a New Beginning”—was grandly held in Hangzhou. As one of the most influential annual events in the smart home industry, this conference attracted authoritative experts, including members of the National Professional Standardization Technical Committee and the chairman of the China Member Group of the Connectivity Standards Alliance, as well as representatives from leading companies across the industry chain, to gather together and discuss industry development trends.
At this grand event, DESSMANN, a leader in the smart lock industry, was undoubtedly a shining star. At the conference, DESSMANN won three prestigious industry honors: the 2025 Most Watched Smart Home Product Award, the Influential Brand Power Award, and certification as a drafting unit of the “Smart Home Construction and Installation Specifications.” This demonstrates its comprehensive strength in technological innovation, standard setting, and industry influence.
Specifically, during key sessions of the conference, DESSMANN garnered high recognition from authoritative institutions for its outstanding performance. Its best-selling product, the DESSMANN Kirin R9 smart lock, won the Smart Headlines’ Top 10 Most Watched Smart Home Products of the Year award. This award, based on rigorous product testing and online voting, represents the highest recognition of product innovation from the industry and consumers. DESSMANN’s executive livestreaming team also won the Smart Home Traffic Influence Brand Power Award, which recognizes brand teams that excel in building industry influence and content dissemination. DESSMANN was also awarded a certificate for being a drafting unit of the group standard “Smart Home Construction and Installation Specifications.” This standard, led by the China Household Electric Appliance Research Institute, is the industry’s first normative document specifically addressing smart home construction and installation. DESSMANN’s participation as a drafting unit demonstrates its leading role in industry standardization.
This conference also explored the application prospects of AI technology in the smart home field. Mr. Zhu Zhiling, founder and chairman of DESSMANN, shared in detail how AI technology is reshaping the user experience of smart locks in his keynote speech. The conference’s special discussion pointed out that with the deep integration of AI technology, smart homes are evolving from single-device intelligence to full-scene intelligence.
As a leading brand in the smart lock industry, DESSMANN’s deployment in the AI field has consistently led industry trends. As early as 2024, DESSMANN pioneered the introduction of GPTfinger fingerprint recognition technology, incorporating GPT large-model technology. In 2025, DESSMANN further led the industry by launching the AI smart lock Kirin R9, transforming smart locks from passive functional devices into proactive intelligent entities, and introducing the upgraded GPTfinger 2.0 curved fingerprint sensor. DESSMANN’s proactive approach to AI technology, centered on reshaping the user experience, truly brings AI technology to life, providing consumers with a safer and more convenient smart home experience. In the future, DESSMANN is expected to continue leveraging its advantages in technological innovation and industry standard setting to drive the smart home industry forward.
