Renters’ and homeowners’ tastes have matured in the last few years, with smart phone connectivity expected of any new system. We have been driving that change forward since 2014, by creating integrated environments in apartments and condominiums before the term “smart home” entered popular culture. Systems we automate regularly include thermostats, lighting, audio/video, and even door locks and window coverings. These systems can either be put on a schedule, react automatically based on sensor data or other activity, or controlled in real time.

In apartment buildings and condominiums, landlords, property managers, and staff can control common devices in common areas, while tenants will each only control systems in their unit. Automation and control systems are one of the most practical investments you can make for your property, with the added benefit of being convenient and a pleasure to use. Automation helps reduce utility costs for tenants, reduces wear and tear on your building infrastructure, and provides an intuitive and unified interface to control all your devices and systems.
