About

Brilliant Home Technology, Inc. is a US-based company specializing in innovative smart home automation solutions that enhance convenience, security, and efficiency in residential environments. Founded in 2016 and headquartered in San Mateo, US, Brilliant Home Technology, Inc. designs smart home systems that integrate various home functionalities.


In September 2025, Brilliant Home Technology, Inc. raised USD 9. 7 million in venture funding from Almeida Strategic Investments. The founders are Aaron Emigh, Jeremy Hiatt, and Steven Stanek, with Aaron Emigh serving as the CEO.


Brilliant offers a comprehensive smart home automation system designed to enhance the convenience, security, and efficiency of residential environments. Their core product line includes the Brilliant Smart Home Control, which integrates various functionalities such as lighting, home security, climate control, and audio management into a single, intuitive interface accessed via in-wall touchscreens and a mobile application. Key offerings include the Smart Dimmer Switch, which transforms standard lighting into smart lighting with features like motion detection and voice control, as well as the Smart Plug, allowing users to control appliances through voice commands or remotely via the app. The systems are particularly aimed at home builders, multifamily developers, and integrators, with a client base that spans both single-family and multifamily residential properties in markets including North America and select international regions.


These smart solutions are engineered to simplify the user experience for homeowners, families, and guests, making smart home technology accessible and user-friendly. Brilliant generates revenue through direct sales of its smart home products to residential builders, multifamily developers, and consumers, alongside partnerships with custom integrators who facilitate installations. The company’s revenue structure includes both B2B and direct-to-consumer transactions, primarily through retail channels and online platforms. Noteworthy products contributing to revenue include the flagship Brilliant Smart Home Control and Smart Dimmer Switch, which are marketed as essential components of a modern smart home setup.


The transaction models typically involve one-time purchases of hardware coupled with potential ongoing revenue from subscription services related to enhanced functionalities, updates, or support. Pricing plans for these products reflect their premium positioning in the smart home market, aimed at consumers looking for high-quality, integrated solutions for their home automation needs. The company plans to utilize the September 2025 funding to improve its product, strengthen strategic partnerships, and boost customer engagement throughout North America.
