Prior to acquiring Centralite, Ezlo made two notable acquisitions in 2018. In August, Ezlo acquired MiOS, a developer of smart home services platforms and the Vera line of consumer products. This acquisition provided Ezlo with a robust smart home management platform. In October, Ezlo acquired Fortrezz, a company known for intelligent leak detection and flood prevention solutions.
