What if one device could control a rental unit’s HVAC temperature, manage access and empower smart home automation? For property managers, this would offer centralized control and efficient management of the property’s smart devices, while reducing hardware costs and installation complexity. For your residents, this would create a seamless, modern living experience with remote control capability, personalized smart home automation, and enhanced comfort, meeting their demand for convenient and tech-enabled amenities. Enter Rently’s Smart Hub Pro.
One Device for Total Smart Home Control
This new device combines the central component of a smart home, a hub, with a built-in smart thermostat all in one device for total control. It installs like a thermostat on the wall and works like a hub to control temperature, manage access and automate an entire unit via Z-Wave, Wi-Fi, and cellular communications protocols. Plus, it’s Matter-ready for the future. This new smart hub and smart thermostat becomes the gateway for controlling lights, smart outlets, unlocking doors, and connecting other smart devices for a truly connected-living experience.
Installs Like a Thermostat, Works Like a Hub
If your team can install a thermostat, they can install Rently’s Smart Hub Pro. It is installed in the same place as the thermostat. Same wires. Same wall. But suddenly, you’ve unlocked Z-Wave, Matter, remote automations, and more from one device. No special tools, no rewiring, no IT tickets. Plus, this hub won’t get accidentally unplugged, lost or stolen because it’s hardwired and mounted to the wall. Fewer devices to install means less installation costs and quicker rollouts too.
Seamless for Residents & Powerful for Property Managers
For residents, it’s just a thermostat—intuitive and familiar. They can adjust the temperature and fan right on the wall. And through the Rently app, they stay informed with real-time device alerts that help them feel in control of their smart home. For property managers, it’s operational magic. This new Smart Hub Pro supports self-tours, monitors vacant units, checks device health, and integrates with smart locks. Once units are rented, you’re able to quickly pass control over to the new resident via automated move-ins and move-outs.
Imagine your residents walking into their homes after a long day. The temperature is just right, a smart lock has already let them in, motion detectors have been deactivated, and lights have been turned on. At the heart of this smooth, connected living experience is Rently’s Smart Hub Pro.
Smart Hub Pro Benefits for Property Managers
- • Less hardware to purchase to deploy smart home: Gone are the days of installing a thermostat and a separate smart hub. This new hub features an LED segment display that doubles as a thermostat, letting residents adjust temperatures and fan modes with ease. For property owners, that means fewer devices to install, track, and maintain.
- • Future-proof connectivity: Built with Z-Wave 800 for extended range and Matter over Thread compatibility, your residents can connect a wide array of smart devices today – and tomorrow. From smart bolts to motion sensors and door/window sensors, everything integrates effortlessly.
- • Simpler installations plus stronger uptime: A common challenge with traditional smart hubs is residents unplugging them by mistake, causing connectivity issues. Our Hub Pro connects directly via C-wire (with AC/DC dual input for flexible installs) ensuring it remains powered and online—delivering reliable performance without intervention.
What are Customers Saying about Rently’s Smart Hub Pro?
One of our leading enterprise client shares:
“I’m definitely interested in the thermostat plus hub combination. It won’t be perceived as a new device that we need to track—just a regular thermostat that happens to function as an IoT gateway. That would actually be really helpful, especially because the current hubs are easily unplugged and sometimes even taken by residents.”
Renters agree too. 32% say a smart thermostat makes them choose one unit over another, and 71% of millennials prefer rentals with smart technology. It’s a simple upgrade that drives resident satisfaction and lease growth.
