How Enhanced Thermostat Control Simplifies Property Management

Property managers have long relied on RemoteLock for its powerful access control capabilities, and our platform is expanding. Now, with our enhanced thermostat control, managing energy usage and guest comfort is easier than ever — all from one platform.

Smart Thermostat Automation That Cuts Costs and Saves Time

Smart thermostats paired with RemoteLock already offer substantial value, but with new enhanced features, their impact grows. RemoteLock now gives you the ability to control thermostat settings directly from the RemoteLock dashboard — no more switching between platforms. You can adjust heat, cool, and fan modes or set temperature points from anywhere, without tying these settings to a specific lock or door.

Every change, whether it’s made in the dashboard or manually at the device, appears in the RemoteLock event log, giving you a complete audit trail. This upgrade is especially beneficial for vacation rental and boutique hotel operators, who often manage check-ins and check-outs remotely and aim to minimize HVAC usage in unoccupied units.

Added Benefits with Combined Thermostat and Access Control

RemoteLock integrates access and climate control in one dashboard. The latest enhancements help property managers:

  • Reduce energy costs with automated check-in/check-out schedules
  • Eliminate manual steps during unit turnovers
  • Provide a consistent and comfortable guest experience
  • Avoid unnecessary HVAC usage in vacant properties
  • Manage access and climate from a single platform
  • Save time with streamlined workflows for staff

You can add compatible Honeywell thermostats in your dashboard and manage your property even more precisely than before.

Thermostats no longer need to be connected to a specific door on your property, and managers can manually adjust the temperature at any time — with or without connecting the thermostat to check-in and checkout times.

How to Leverage RemoteLock's Enhanced Thermostat Control

The user interface for thermostat enhancements was built with simplicity in mind. Property managers can create and map workflows quickly, including:

Monitor Thermostats Within RemoteLock

Manage your thermostats, including temperatures, fan modes, and HVAC modes, from within the same RemoteLock dashboard you use to manage locks. Simply add your Honeywell thermostats to the Resideo app and connect your Resideo account to RemoteLock to get started.

No Manual Intervention Necessary

If a guest leaves a thermostat on after checkout and you don’t have an automated schedule in place, don’t worry. You can turn off the thermostat or set it to a comfortable temperature from your dashboard without requiring staff to physically access the unit.

Save Money and Energy

Enhanced thermostat control is more than a convenience — it directly supports your bottom line. When units transition more efficiently and HVAC systems run only when needed, you save both time and money.

Automate Based on Occupancy

As always, you can create automated workflows based on check-in and checkout dates. Heat or cool a unit to a more comfortable temperature before guests arrive, then set the temperature back to a more eco-friendly level when the unit is vacant.

If you offer self-touring in your multifamily portfolio, these thermostats can automatically bring the temperature of your model unit to a comfortable level before prospective tenants arrive and back to a more efficient level after they leave.

Take Control of Climate and Comfort

With RemoteLock’s enhanced thermostat capabilities, you gain more than control — you gain efficiency, cost savings, and peace of mind. Whether you're managing guest comfort in a vacation rental or maintaining optimal temperatures across a multifamily portfolio, our integrated dashboard makes it simple. Reduce operational workload, avoid unnecessary energy use, and keep your properties running smoothly — all from one dashboard.
