WyreStorm debuts Node-RED control solutions to simplify hospitality AV deployment

The pro AV sector is entering 2026 with a renewed focus on 'Day 2' support and intelligent automation. Per AV Network (December 2025), industry leads predicted that AI-enabled workflows and IP-based network systems would go fully mainstream this year as clients demand predictive monitoring and data-driven analytics. This demand is particularly acute in the hospitality and entertainment sectors; Market Reports World (June 2026) estimates the global AV-over-IP software market at $3.6 billion, noting that software-defined platforms are essential for managing content across the more than 62,000 hotel properties now operating digital signage networks.

WyreStorm’s specific focus on cloud-connected management aligns with broader infrastructure shifts away from traditional matrix switching. According to Xyte (April 2026), WyreStorm’s Sygma platform is built on a connected device foundation that allows for proactive remote support, a feature now considered a 'default expectation' for hospitality operators overseeing extensive estates. Per ISE Europe (June 2026), these operators are increasingly using high-quality networked screens not just for information, but for lucrative advertising opportunities that require centralized, reliable control across hundreds of endpoints.

Technically, the shift toward open environments like Node-RED mirrors a wider trend in the workplace. Per Commercial Integrator (June 2026), WyreStorm leaders confirmed the brand is moving from selling individual products to 'outcome-driven' solutions that combine audio, video, and USB-C connectivity. This evolution matches a report from AVIXA (March 2026) stating that hybrid work and AI integration are forcing enterprise organizations to rethink room design and long-term ROI. By utilizing open visual programming, manufacturers are attempting to reduce the complexity of integrating these increasingly sophisticated AI and IP-based tools into standard facility designs.
