In March 2016, Honeywell acquired privately held RSI Video Technologies (RSI), a leading provider of intrusion detection systems for commercial and residential security applications under the brand Videofied, for approximately USD 123 million.

This acquisition is expected to enhance Honeywell's ability to meet the increasing global customer need for video verification, and also developing a unique do-it-yourself (DIY) offering combined with professional monitoring. Moreover, in February 2016, the company also acquired Xtralis, a leading global provider of aspirating smoke detection along with advanced perimeter security technologies and video analytics software for USD 480 million.

Legrand (France) offers multiple solutions for automation and control of lighting and temperature such as automatic switches, BUS lighting management systems, room thermostats, and multi-zone systems which automatically set the temperature according to the use of each zone. The company is focusing on acquisition strategy to strengthen its foothold into the smart home market. On April 2016, Legrand acquired Luxul Wireless, leading IP networking provider to cater the custom integration industry. This acquisition is expected to help the company to provide end-to-end services in the smart home market. In December 2015, Legrand acquired QMotion (U.S.)—a player in natural light control systems manufacturing for residential buildings, and entered into partnership with Nest Inc. (U.S.) for supporting the Internet of Things (IoT) application in Legrand's product offerings.
