Why not just use WiFi thermostats?

Consumer WiFi thermostats were designed for single-family homes, not multifamily portfolios. They depend on resident-managed networks, which leads to frequent disconnects, support issues, and inconsistent data.
TempSync uses dedicated, building-grade smart city communication protocols, ensuring reliable connectivity, consistent performance, and zero dependence on resident behavior.

WiFi is everywhere. Why avoid it?

Availability does not equal reliability. Resident WiFi networks change constantly due to password updates, router replacements, bandwidth congestion, and outages.
TempSync eliminates these variables by operating on a controlled, managed communication infrastructure built specifically for property-wide deployments.

Is LoRaWAN or smart-city connectivity really reliable indoors?

Yes. Smart city protocols like LoRaWAN are specifically designed for long-range, low-power communication in dense urban and indoor environments.
They are widely used in utilities, smart metering, and critical infrastructure where reliability is required—not optional.

Does this increase installation complexity?

No. TempSync simplifies deployment by removing the need to coordinate with residents for WiFi access, passwords, or troubleshooting.
Once installed, devices automatically connect to the managed network and begin reporting data without manual configuration.

Will residents complain about loss of control?

No. TempSync is designed to balance resident comfort with operational control. Residents maintain normal thermostat interaction while property teams gain visibility and guardrails to prevent extreme usage, equipment stress, or inefficiencies.

Is this too “enterprise” for smaller properties?

TempSync scales both up and down. Whether managing one building or hundreds, the platform provides the same benefits: visibility, automation, and reduced operational burden. Smaller properties benefit from the same reliability and cost savings as large portfolios.

What happens if the internet goes down?

Local communication between thermostats and gateways continues to operate. Once connectivity is restored, data is securely forwarded to the Connect IoT cloud. This ensures continuity without data loss or manual intervention.

Is this expensive compared to consumer thermostats?

Consumer thermostats appear cheaper upfront but create hidden costs through maintenance calls, network issues, equipment damage, and energy waste.
TempSync is an operational investment designed to reduce long-term energy, maintenance, and capital expenses while improving system longevity.

Do we need dedicated IT staff to manage this?

No. TempSync is managed through a centralized dashboard designed for property and maintenance teams—not IT departments. Alerts, insights, and reporting are automated and easy to interpret.

What if we already have different HVAC equipment across properties?

TempSync is designed for heterogeneous environments. It works across mixed HVAC systems and building types, allowing owners to standardize monitoring and control without replacing existing equipment.

Is this just another monitoring tool?

No. TempSync goes beyond monitoring by combining intelligent analytics, automated alerts, and proactive insights that drive real operational action—before problems escalate into failures or resident complaints.

How is this different from other “smart building” platforms?

Most platforms are retrofitted consumer products or fragmented tools.
TempSync is purpose-built for multifamily portfolios, using smart city connectivity, centralized analytics, and operational intelligence designed specifically for property owners and operators.

Why is Connect IoT the right partner?

Connect IoT designs and operates the full ecosystem—devices, communication infrastructure, and cloud platform—ensuring accountability, scalability, and long-term support.
This is not a collection of third-party components; it is a unified solution engineered for multifamily operations.
