3 Ways to Experience More Freedom in Your Property Management

When talking about property management, you're making sure that whatever piece of property you own is looking its best and is at its safest. Whether it be your own home, a place you rent to others, a hotel, or business property, you need to make sure it's all up to date on the latest and greatest. But what if we told you that there are ways to manage your property without the added stress?

Yes, you'll still be in charge of the property. However, you'll be able to create a more "hands-off" approach so you're not constantly worrying about your property, or continuously focused on one situation when you need to be dealing with another. Let freedom ring with these ways to manage your property with ease.

Smart Thermostat

A smart thermostat gives your guests the opportunity to control the temperature in their room but allows you to see what they do. These thermostats run with WiFi and can connect to home automation. You are able to control the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning of the property from your smartphone. To benefit you as the manager, even more, these thermostats automatically adjust to energy-saving temperatures when the guests are asleep or no one is occupying the space.

Of course, there are certain smart thermostats that do more than others. For example, there's a tool called geofencing, which allows your smart thermostat to know when you’re on the way home and automatically adjusts your home’s temperature to your liking. If you manage an Airbnb property, a smart thermostat can enter a low-power standby mode when inactive.

Smart Sprinklers

Smart sprinklers allow you to use plant and weather apps in order to track the information needed to properly water your grass and plants. By connecting your smart sprinkler system to weather apps, you will be able to figure out your watering patterns based on the weather.

Using this sprinkler system on the property you own or manage, is great because you don't need to be present to water your lawn. It does it automatically if need be. And if guests are occupying the property, you can also shut the sprinkler system off to ensure it doesn't turn on and affect their stay.

If you're looking to find the best smart sprinkler that meets the needs of your property, try one of these options:

Skydrop Halo Smart Sprinkler System

It can work with Google Home or Amazon Alexa via an app in order to obtain best-in-class hyper-local weather data from local weather stations to learn how much water your yard and landscaping need. It also uses real-time precipitation, humidity, temperature, wind, solar radiation, slope, and soil condition to properly depict your needs.

Orbit B-hyve Smart Sprinkler System

This system gets a more advanced forecast that calculates dirt moisture, usage history, and multiple other methods to detect if it should water the lawn or not. It can also easily be controlled by an app on your phone for easy access.

Rachio Smart Sprinkler System Controller

Another sprinkler system that uses both Amazon Alexa and an app on your phone, so you can control it from anywhere. There are eight zones you are able to control. Each one has a skip feature, allowing you to skip over using the sprinklers.
