SmartRent Launches Hardware-Free Virtual IntercomJune 16, 2026 11:15 AM
Business Wire Browser-based, smartphone friendly entry system replaces physical panels with QR codes, making visitor management affordable for multi-building communities and parking areas SmartRent, Inc. (NYSE: SMRT) (“SmartRent” or the “Company”), a leading provider of smart communities and smart operations solutions for the rental housing industry, today announced the launch of Virtual Intercom, a reenvisioned, browser-based entry management system. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260616110555/en/SmartRent’s new Virtual Intercom provides property operators with a hardware-free, cost-effective visitor entry solution. Guests simply scan the secure QR code to initiate a browser-based video or audio call to residents for property access, eliminating the need for expensive hardwiring, physical entry panels or dedicated app downloads. The system is designed for rapid deployment with no need for traditional intercom hardware, complex wiring or electrical installation. The QR code design enables secure visitor access and entry management to entrances throughout a community including parking areas, garages, auxiliary common areas and for multi-building properties. Virtual Intercom eliminates the upfront costs and reduces typical hardware and installation expenditures by up to 85%. Deep integration with top property management system software enables smooth implementation and automated, real-time access control. “For years, property operators have faced a double standard: intercoms are highly requested by residents, but the per-building hardware and wiring costs can make portfolio-wide installation economically impractical,” said Sangeeth Ponathil, Chief Information Officer at SmartRent. “Virtual Intercom removes the hardware bottleneck. By leveraging the smartphone already in a visitor’s pocket, we are making secure access affordable for all of a property's entry points while delivering a fast, modern experience for residents and guests.” Virtual Intercom removes friction by allowing visitors to connect instantly, without app downloads or registration. For Visitors: Guests, delivery couriers or service providers scan a property-specific QR code sign at any entry point, and are then taken to a mobile web directory. Fast Connection: Using WebRTC streaming technology, a connection to the resident is established. For Residents: Residents receive a push notification within their existing SmartRent mobile app. From there, they can verify their guest's identity and unlock the door or perimeter gate with a single tap. SmartRent will demo Virtual Intercom at the National Apartment Association’s (NAA) Apartmentalize conference June 17-19 in New Orleans at Booth #801. Attendees can experience the browser-based entry interface firsthand and speak directly with the team.

SmartRent Launches Industry-First Automated Smart Thermostat Climate Protection FunctionJune 8, 2026 11:00 AM
Business WireProprietary feature engages preset thresholds during extreme temperature events to protect assetsSmartRent, Inc. (NYSE: SMRT) (“SmartRent” or the “Company”), a leading provider of smart communities and smart operations solutions for the rental housing industry, today announced the launch of its Climate Protection Mode feature. Built into SmartRent Alloy SmartHome Hub+ and Alloy Fusion thermostats, this first-of-its-kind asset protection technology provides a proactive defense against the leading causes of property damage: water, mold and moisture resulting from extreme environmental conditions.This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260608749725/en/Built into SmartRent Alloy SmartHome Hub+ and Alloy Fusion thermostats, Climate Protection Mode provides a proactive defense against the leading causes of property damage: water, mold and moisture resulting from extreme environmental conditions.As the multifamily industry faces mounting insurance pressure, with premiums surging an average of 55% since 2021, Climate Protection Mode introduces a necessary layer of portfolio resilience. Unlike standard thermostat programming, the feature functions as a silent, secondary fail-safe designed for emergency mitigation. The system remains dormant unless ambient conditions reach dangerous extremes—below 42°F, above 98°F or if humidity exceeds 80%—at which point the system activates automatically to restore a safe baseline without encroaching on daily resident settings.“We designed Climate Protection Mode to act as an automated baseline for risk management,” said Chief Information Officer Sangeeth Ponathil. “By coding these safety thresholds directly on our Alloy SmartHome Hub+ and Alloy Fusion hardware, we are providing a hands-off asset protection tool that reduces human margin for error and addresses catastrophic damage before it impacts NOI, all while respecting resident privacy and daily autonomy.”While the average repair cost for a burst pipe at multifamily properties is approximately $15,000, operators often report damages between $30,000-$50,000, particularly in high- and mid-rise communities where flooding can impact multiple floors. Operators also incur an average of $7,650 in additional losses per incident related to resident displacement and rent loss. By aiming to prevent these failures, Climate Protection Mode protects the resident's home and belongings while potentially positioning owners for insurance premium reductions.The efficacy of Climate Protection Mode is already proven at scale with 20 enterprise customers across 54 properties. Recently, a top-tier multifamily REIT reported the system was successfully activated more than 1,200 times across its multi-state portfolio, averting costly weather-related crises and preventing an estimated $6.7 million in damages.“For multifamily operators, the most expensive risks are often the ones that go unnoticed, particularly in vacant units or during vendor turns when a climate system is inadvertently left switched off,” said Ponathil. “Historically, protecting against these blind spots required stretching on-site maintenance teams thin to conduct manual inspections or absorbing the financial hit of a major insurance claim. Recent reports from our customers clearly indicate the positive outcomes of effective climate protection technology.”For more information about SmartRent solutions, visit smartrent.com.About SmartRentFounded in 2017, SmartRent, Inc.

Expands reach to serve small and mid-market multifamily owners and operators
SmartRent, Inc. (NYSE: SMRT) (“SmartRent” or the “Company”), a leading provider of smart communities and smart operations solutions for the rental housing industry, today announced the launch of its strategic value-added reseller (VAR) program. This initiative marks an expansion of SmartRent’s go-to-market model and is designed to address the needs of small and mid-market rental housing owners and operators. SKBM Smart Technology, a long-time SmartRent installation provider, will be the first VAR in the program.
SmartRent has a strong position among the largest multifamily portfolios, with more than 900,000 IoT units deployed on its platform and 1.2 million units supported through maintenance and leasing solutions. Its existing customer base owns or controls more than six million units, providing meaningful runway for continued expansion. While these top-tier operators make up an important portion of the market, the broader U.S. rental housing landscape—comprising more than 40 million units—presents a substantial growth vector for SmartRent. SKBM Smart Technology, along with future VARs, enables SmartRent to extend its reach into the small and mid-market segment. This approach also enables SmartRent to deliver more localized, high-touch engagement that can scale alongside operators as their portfolios grow.
“Under our three-year Vision 2028 program, we are laser-focused on growing our market-leading installed footprint. Expanding our go-to-market team is a major area of focus and an important contributor to our March to One Million IoT units,” said SmartRent President and CEO Frank Martell. “In addition to growing our dedicated, in-house sales team, we believe the addition of resellers like SKBM Smart Technology—a partner we have trusted for years on the installation side—will add important momentum to our revenue growth in the small and mid-markets. This area presents an exciting new avenue for expanding our reach, further advancing our vision of bringing smarter living and working to everyone.”
SKBM will serve as the first in a planned network of strategic VARs as SmartRent continues to scale. Their established sales team and deep industry relationships provide the specialized expertise required to effectively support these segments.
“We are thrilled to build on our role as an established installation provider by also becoming a value-added reseller for a leading proptech organization like SmartRent,” said Bill Myers, Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer at SKBM Smart Technology. “Our team is already positioned to deliver SmartRent technology to small and mid-market communities and meet the specific needs of those property owners. We look forward to driving adoption across this expansive rental market sector."
