Transform Your Coliving Property with Smart Technology
Smart locks, energy management, security systems, WiFi infrastructure, and IoT automation - professionally integrated into your coliving property. Reduce costs, improve resident experience, and automate the operational tasks that drain your team's time.
What We Integrate
Six categories of smart home technology, professionally selected and integrated for coliving environments. Every solution is chosen for reliability, scalability, and compatibility with shared living operations.
Smart Access & Locks
Replace physical keys with smart locks that generate unique access codes for each resident, automate check-in/check-out, and provide real-time access logs. Eliminate the operational headache of lost keys, lock changes between residents, and coordinating physical handovers. Residents get seamless entry via their phone or a PIN code - operators get full visibility into who accessed what, and when.

Energy Management
Smart thermostats, automated lighting, and energy monitoring systems that reduce utility costs while maintaining resident comfort. Set schedules based on occupancy, monitor consumption per room or per floor, and identify energy waste before it becomes a budget problem. Most coliving operators see 15-25% energy savings within the first three months of implementation.
Nest, Ecobee, Tado, Philips Hue, LIFX, Sense
Security Systems
CCTV cameras for common areas, motion sensors, smart intercoms, and integrated alarm systems that protect your property and give residents peace of mind. All accessible from a centralized dashboard with alerts, recording storage, and remote monitoring capabilities. Because safety is the foundation of any successful coliving community.
Ring, Arlo, Hikvision, Dahua, DoorBird, ButterflyMX
WiFi Infrastructure
Enterprise-grade mesh WiFi networks designed for high-density shared living. Bandwidth management ensures fair usage, guest networks isolate resident and visitor traffic, and centralized management lets you monitor performance across every floor and property. Because unreliable WiFi is the number one complaint in coliving - and the easiest to solve.
Ubiquiti UniFi, Cisco Meraki, TP-Link Omada, Ruckus
Environmental Monitoring
Air quality sensors, humidity monitors, temperature tracking, and noise level detection that help you maintain healthy, comfortable living environments. Set alerts for abnormal readings, track trends over time, and demonstrate your commitment to resident wellbeing with data-backed environmental quality scores.
Airthings, Awair, Netatmo, Milesight, uHoo
Automation & Scenes
Create automated routines and smart scenes that respond to occupancy, time of day, or custom triggers. Lights dim at bedtime, common areas adjust to evening mode, HVAC activates when occupancy sensors detect presence, and welcome sequences trigger for new residents on move-in day. The building becomes intelligent and responsive.
Home Assistant, Hubitat, SmartThings, Custom Node-RED
Smart home technology works best when connected to your coliving technology stack. We integrate all devices into a unified management layer accessible from your operator dashboard.
The Business Case for Smart Coliving
Smart home integration isn't just about technology - it's about measurable improvements in operational efficiency, cost reduction, and resident satisfaction.

Saved on Key Management
Eliminate physical key handovers, lock changes, and access coordination. Smart locks automate check-in/check-out and generate unique codes per resident.
95%
Resident Satisfaction with Smart Access
Residents overwhelmingly prefer phone-based or PIN access over physical keys. Convenience, security, and no more lockouts drive satisfaction scores.
40%
Fewer Maintenance Calls
Environmental monitoring and predictive alerts catch issues before they become complaints. Smart sensors detect leaks, temperature anomalies, and HVAC failures early.
Ready to Make Your Property Smarter?
Start with a free site assessment. We'll evaluate your property and recommend the right smart home solutions for your operation and budget.
Our Integration Process
Four structured phases that take your property from assessment to fully operational smart home - with minimal disruption to current residents and clear communication at every stage.
Site Assessment & Audit
We visit your property (or review plans for new builds) to assess existing infrastructure, WiFi coverage, electrical capacity, and integration opportunities. We document every room, common area, and access point to create a comprehensive smart home blueprint tailored to your property layout, resident count, and operational goals.
Solution Design & Specification
Based on the assessment, we design a complete smart home architecture - hardware selection, network topology, software integrations, and automation rules. You receive a detailed proposal with device specifications, placement plans, timeline, and budget. We recommend solutions that balance cost, reliability, and scalability for coliving-specific needs.
Installation & Configuration
Our certified technicians install all hardware - smart locks, sensors, thermostats, cameras, networking equipment - with minimal disruption to current residents. We configure software platforms, set up automation rules, test every device, and integrate with your existing property management system and operator dashboard.
Training & Ongoing Support
We train your team on managing the smart home systems - adding/removing residents, generating access codes, monitoring energy usage, reviewing security feeds, and troubleshooting common issues. Post-installation support includes remote monitoring, firmware updates, hardware replacement, and system optimization as your needs evolve.
Supported Platforms & Brands
We work with the leading smart home brands and IoT platforms. Our hardware-agnostic approach means we recommend what's best for your specific property, not what pays us the highest commission.
Don't see your preferred platform? We integrate with most hardware that supports API or Z-Wave/Zigbee protocols. Compare options in our smart lock comparison tool.
Smart Coliving in Action
From Physical Keys to Fully Automated Access
A 45-bed coliving property in Berlin was spending 5+ hours per week on key management - cutting copies, coordinating handovers, changing locks between residents, and dealing with lockouts at all hours. They were also losing approximately $200/month on replacement keys and emergency locksmith calls.
We installed Nuki smart locks on all bedroom doors and common area access points, integrated with their PMS for automatic code generation, and deployed Ubiquiti UniFi mesh WiFi to ensure reliable Bluetooth connectivity throughout the building. We also added Nest thermostats in common areas with occupancy-based scheduling.

Centralized Smart Management Across 4 Properties
A coliving operator with 4 properties across London needed a unified system to manage access, energy, and security from a single dashboard. Each property had different infrastructure, different lock brands, and no centralized visibility. The operations team was spending more time managing technology than managing residents.
We standardized on Igloohome locks across all properties, deployed Tado smart thermostats, installed ButterflyMX intercoms, and built a custom integration layer connecting everything to their unified operator dashboard. Remote management now happens from a single screen.
