Amenity Hub · 13 Property Types
Smart home / IoT covers in-unit and building-wide internet-of-things technology: smart locks (resident keyless entry + back-office automation), smart thermostats (Nest, ecobee, Honeywell — energy savings), leak sensors (water-damage prevention), smart smoke + CO detectors, smart blinds, voice-control hubs (Alexa, Google Home, HomeKit integration), and smart access control for common areas. The amenity appears across multifamily Class A (smart-home package now standard for new construction + repositioning), single-family-rental + Build-to-Rent (Invitation Homes INVH + American Homes 4 Rent AMH have rolled out smart-home packages portfolio-wide), condo-hoa (HOA-funded for common-area access + individual unit owner choice), Class A office (tenant + suite access + space utilization analytics), hotel (smart-room features at premium tier), and executive-suites + coworking-space (member access + smart-room integration). Performance is measured in smart-home adoption / penetration rate, tech package fee revenue per occupied unit, energy + utility cost savings, leak / damage incident rate reduction, and resident satisfaction lift.
