Here’s how you can start streamlining processes, enhancing security, and creating seamless experiences that keep guests returning and residents renewing their leases year after year!
Why Hardware Integrations Matter in Property Management
Hardware integrations offer tremendous benefits in the property management landscape. Here are just a few ways they simplify tasks and improve overall efficiency:
Streamlined Operations
There’s nothing quite like having complete control when monitoring multiple property management aspects from a single platform. From access control to lighting and security monitoring, hardware integrations make it easy to automate routine tasks, enhance safety, and maintain comfort for guests and residents. This centralized control saves time and reduces manual efforts, which means more time to deliver exceptional experiences!
Enhanced Guest and Resident Experiences
If you want to make short and long-term stays more enjoyable, there’s no better way than offering seamless, tech-enabled conveniences. Integrated smart locks allow for easy, secure self-check-ins, while remotely managed thermostats and lighting ensure optimal comfort upon arrival. Sensors help maintain a safe environment, monitoring for noise and movement to address issues before they affect guests and residents. All these features, working in tandem, create a welcoming environment that leaves a lasting positive impression!
Competitive Advantage
Finding ways to outshine the competition is always top of mind, but it’s often easier said than done. Hardware integrations offer access to powerful tools for climate control, damage prevention, security monitoring, and more, which offer several distinct advantages. Response times reduce, environments become more secure, and personalized service rises—all excellent ways to distinguish yourself from competitors relying on dated property management methods.
BeHome247 Hardware Integrations and Key Benefits
From access control systems to smart thermostats and noise sensors, BeHome247 connects property managers with key devices designed to improve efficiency and responsiveness. By integrating these smart tools into a single platform, it’s never been easier to monitor and manage properties and automate essential functions.
Here’s a breakdown of BeHome247’s hardware integrations:
Access Control
Access control systems provide secure entry points for guests, residents, and staff, allowing only those authorized to enter. Monitored and controlled remotely, they simplify check-ins and eliminate the need for physical keys, making them ideal in both residential and hospitality settings.
Key Providers: dormakaba, igloohome, Schlage, Yale
Benefits to PMs: By controlling and monitoring who enters the property, access control systems reduce unauthorized access and improve overall safety for guests and residents.
Energy Management
Energy management systems help optimize energy usage, reduce waste, and provide important data on energy consumption. Smart lighting systems often include features like motion sensors, scheduling, and dimming options, enabling lights to turn on, off, or adjust automatically. Smart thermostats are Wi-Fi-enabled devices that automatically adjust heating and cooling settings based on different factors, including occupancy, time of day, and even weather conditions.
Key Providers: Ezlo, GE, Honeywell
Benefits to PMs: Reduce electricity costs by automatically turning off lights in vacant properties, and implement smart thermostats to best manage and reduce heating and cooling expenses, which is particularly helpful in high-turnover settings like short-term rentals.
Damage Prevention
Protecting the properties you manage isn’t just a responsibility—it’s the foundation of successful property management. Noise monitoring systems alert when sound levels exceed preset thresholds, ensuring properties remain quiet and respectful of community norms. Flood monitoring systems detect water leaks, humidity spikes, or pooling water in real-time, preventing minor issues from turning into significant damage.
Key Providers: NoiseAware, Ecolink
Benefits to PMs: Noise and flood monitoring systems prevent issues from escalating, minimize costly repairs, and offer real-time monitoring and alerts.
Centralized Property Control
Hubs play a key role in property control, integrating with and controlling various smart devices, including Z-Wave locks, thermostats, switches, and sensors. Connecting multiple devices through a single hub streamlines operations, making it easy to monitor different systems and make property adjustments from a unified platform.
Key Providers: Ecolink, Ezlo, General Electric, Honeywell, NoiseAware
Benefits to PMs: Remotely controlling lighting, temperature, locks, and more, hubs reduce manual work, freeing up much-needed time for you and your staff!
Security
Security is always a priority in property management, and it goes far beyond protecting the perimeter of the property. Locks and motion, door, and window sensors offer another layer of protection, ensuring guests and residents feel safe and protected.
Key Providers: dormakaba, Ecolink, igloohome, Schlage, Yale
Benefits to PMs: Preventing security incidents provides peace of mind and helps avoid unexpected expenses from repairs, ultimately resulting in significant cost savings.
