Geokey Announces Strategic Smart Thermostat Integration with Resideo
Honeywell Home Smart Thermostat Unlocks Energy Savings for Geokey Platform’s Multi-Family Customers
OMAHA, Neb. (June 19, 2024) – Geokey today announced a new app integration with Resideo Technologies, a leading global provider of solutions for home comfort, energy management, security, and safety, to provide multi-family dwellings access to enhanced smart home comfort and energy efficiency. The integration will transform the way residents take control of their indoor comfort and give building owners a way to monitor energy use and achieve savings. As part of this collaboration, Resideo’s Honeywell Home smart thermostats will be the only thermostats available in Geokey’s mobile access control app.
Residents can now control their Honeywell Home smart thermostats to create personalized heating and cooling schedules remotely using the Geokey app. Property owners and managers can see insights about energy consumption patterns of vacant units, including reports on how HVAC systems are performing, to enable informed decisions to reduce energy waste.
Geokey’s access control software secures properties like the Reverie, a premier property in Belmont, North Carolina. “As a community manager, my experience with Geokey and the thermostat offering has been remarkably seamless and user-friendly. Our residents love that they can effortlessly adjust their home's temperature from anywhere, ensuring optimal comfort without having to physically interact with the thermostat. The app offers intuitive controls, real-time temperature monitoring, and the ability to set schedules or temperature presets, enhancing convenience and energy efficiency. This integration of technology not only simplifies the management of home climate but also provides a modern, connected living experience that aligns with the needs of today's tech-savvy residents,” said Kelsey Reagan, Senior Community Manager at Reverie Belmont.
This integration also includes access to Resideo’s First Alert water leak detection system, which notifies residents of a water leak and allows them to remotely shut off the water within the app.
“Resideo is building a future where technology works to simplify everyday life,” said Nick Dalsin, Vice President, Systems, Apps and Software at Resideo. “Integrating smart thermostat control and water leak detection into Geokey's access control app empowers residents to effortlessly manage their home’s comfort and gives property managers more tools to protect and care for their dwellings.”
Geokey, known for access control software, has expanded capabilities within their app to simplify operations and property management for owners and operators – from smart home features to PMS integrations. “Partnering with Resideo allows us to give residents modern day comfort while also unlocking greater energy savings for property managers,” said Brandon Peterson, CEO of Geokey.
