How thermostat control from RemoteLock increases energy efficiency

Managing multiple properties can be time-consuming, but RemoteLock’s new thermostat integration with Honeywell Home by Resideo makes it easier than ever. This new integration allows property managers to schedule select Honeywell thermostats from the same intuitive dashboard they use for access control, streamlining operations and ensuring energy efficiency.

Essential features for your property

In vacation rentals, guest satisfaction is critical. Honeywell smart thermostat integration allows property managers to set the thermostat to the perfect temperature just before guests arrive, providing a welcoming first impression. 

After guests check out, the system automatically adjusts to an energy-saving mode, reducing HVAC expenses. This feature eliminates the need for manual intervention, saving time and money for property managers, and ensuring a comfortable guest experience.

The integration can benefit multifamily properties as well. By adjusting the temperature to a more energy-efficient level when a unit is vacated and then back to a comfortable level when a new resident moves in, managers can improve their operational and energy efficiency.

The benefits of managing thermostats with RemoteLock

Streamlined property operations

RemoteLock allows you to link each thermostat to any RemoteLock-controlled lock, all within the same dashboard. By connecting thermostats to existing locks, managers can set them to automatically adjust the temperature whenever the lock status changes — such as when a new code is generated, a guest arrives, a prospective resident schedules a tour, or a member of the maintenance staff is scheduled to fulfill a work order.

How automated schedules cut energy waste between stays

Smart thermostats significantly improve energy efficiency by allowing property managers to automate temperature settings based on occupancy. With RemoteLock’s automated workflows, thermostats can be programmed to adjust settings when the property is empty, preventing unnecessary energy use. This reduces the property’s environmental impact and contributes to long-term sustainability goals.

How temperature automation lowers utility bills for property managers

By optimizing temperature control and preventing wasteful heating or cooling, property managers can see immediate cost savings on their energy bills. RemoteLock’s integration with Honeywell thermostats ensures that properties only use energy when necessary, reducing overall utility expenses. For multifamily properties or vacation rentals, this means savings across multiple units or listings, directly impacting your bottom line.

How preset temperatures improve the arrival experience

Comfort plays a significant role in guest satisfaction. By using automated thermostat settings, property managers can ensure the property is always at an ideal temperature when guests arrive, creating a welcoming atmosphere. 

How remote thermostat control prevents freeze damage and overheating

A burst pipe during a cold snap can lead to thousands of dollars in damages, and appliances that run during a heat wave can overheat and damage themselves. With a remotely-managed smart thermostat, managers can ensure that their properties are safe and secure even in extreme weather events or when unoccupied.

How thermostat integration works

The thermostat integration simplifies property management by linking smart thermostats to RemoteLock through Honeywell’s Resideo app. Once connected, property managers can create schedules to adjust the temperature remotely at the beginning and end of each vacation rental stay or during multifamily unit turnovers.

By using this system, property managers no longer have to worry about thermostats being left on or set too high by previous guests or staff. The integration helps to optimize energy usage while maintaining a comfortable environment for new arrivals.
