Streamlining Property Operations with a Connected Thermostat
F3 worked with a cloud based property management platform with a mission to create smarter apartment communities in a simple and user-friendly way by helping them through the certification process.
A group of industry experts saw that a different approach was needed to property management, one where technology was tailored to the specific needs of apartment communities. As experts in property management, real estate investment and operations – they saw the need for a simple, cost-effective, and streamlined smart device management platform. F3 transformed this company’s IoT product concept into a custom smart thermostat with extensive wireless connectivity which is deployed in each apartment. This connected thermostat is a key element that enables the company’s multi-family property management platform.
This customer leveraged F3’s experience in product development and deep knowledge of wireless communication technologies to create an IoT platform that is truly one of a kind. The IoT thermostat hub simplifies the complexity of installation by reducing the number of devices required for each unit, lowering costs, and working on its own LoRaWAN network instead of WiFi. The thermostat hub rides on a single long-range LoRaWAN network, providing device connectivity for an entire apartment community independent of the many provisioning, congestion and logistical issues involved with WiFi. This network and platform allowed the organization to deliver on its customer promise in a cost effective and simplified way.
