Managing multiple properties means juggling different tenants, maintenance requests, access codes, and potential disasters across locations. 53 West provides the technology infrastructure to manage it all from a single dashboard: monitor every property's security cameras, receive water leak alerts, control thermostats remotely, manage smart locks for tenant turnover, and give maintenance staff secure VPN access to each property's network.
Every property you manage gets connected to a single Home Assistant instance. From one dashboard, you can:
No more logging into 5 different apps for 5 different properties. Everything is in one place.
AI cameras at each property feed into the central dashboard. You can view live feeds, review recorded footage, and receive person-detection alerts. Because cameras process locally with Frigate NVR, you are not paying cloud subscription fees per camera per property.
Set up alerts for specific events: person detected at property A after 10 PM, motion at property B during vacancy, door opened at property C between units.
Configure automated alerts for tenants and property managers:
Smart locks eliminate the need for physical key management. When a tenant moves out:
No rekeying, no lost keys, no spare key management. Access logs show exactly who entered and when.
Water damage is the most common property insurance claim. Installing leak sensors in every unit catches problems before they become disasters. With the automatic shutoff valve, a leak in unit 3 shuts off water to that unit immediately and alerts you — while tenants in other units are unaffected.
Control thermostats remotely across all properties to:
Give maintenance staff secure VPN access to each property's network. They can access smart lock controls, camera feeds, and diagnostic tools from their phone without exposing anything to the public internet. Access can be granted and revoked as staff changes.
Property management services are available two ways:
Equipment is billed at cost plus 15%.
A property manager with 6 rental units across 3 buildings wanted centralized monitoring. We installed:
Result: The manager monitors all 6 units from one screen. In the first 3 months, the water leak system caught a slow leak under a kitchen sink in unit 4 that would have caused an estimated $8,000 in damage. Total project cost: $4,200.
