All-in-One Program Allows Property Builders to
Integrate Connected Home Devices During Building Process;
Individuals Benefit with Award-Winning Security Options
Comcast today announced that it is launching a new program to
provide single-family home and multifamily property developers
access to a variety of leading home automation device providers and
the Xfinity comprehensive smart home automation platform. Headed by
Xfinity Communities, Comcast’s business unit servicing the
multifamily property market, this program allows residents to
purchase homes with built-in, state-of-the-art automation
technologies from Xfinity Home and provides developers with an easy
and effective means of differentiating and modernizing their
properties.
Findings from the recent “Networking with Residents: Technology
Drives the Multifamily Industry” survey state that 49 percent of
property owners, managers and developers found implementing smart
home technologies increased property values and 82 percent are
installing advanced technologies to create smart buildings. The new
program will enable Xfinity Communities to address the rising
demand among multifamily developers to offer residents home
automation capabilities in addition to voice, high-speed internet
and entertainment services. Developers will partner with Xfinity
Communities to obtain Xfinity Home connected devices and services
including thermostats, garage door openers, lighting, door locks,
security cameras and other gadgets that may be integrated into
residences during the building process.
“We are offering property developers a simple solution to equip
their communities of new construction with the advanced network and
technologies needed to create a smart home,” said Adrian Adriano,
vice president of strategic initiatives, Xfinity Communities.
“Integrating Xfinity Home – Comcast’s total home security and home
automation solution – into our offering allows us to work with
developers to add connected devices and services operable on the
Comcast platform, making it easy for residents to move in and have
the features to remotely monitor their home, lock and unlock doors,
turn on or turn off the lights or adjust the thermostat.”
Marc Levy, executive director, Xfinity Home added, “Families
value the peace of mind that comes with remote monitoring,
management and control of their homes. Xfinity Home’s products and
services are gaining recognition for their ease-of-use and advanced
features, as evidenced by our recent TecHome Brilliance Award for
Xfinity Home’s 24/7 Continuous Video Recording Service. This
program is one of the many smart home solutions that residents will
have the option of using as soon as they move in.”
Integrating smart home technology directly into multifamily
developments has proven to be successful in giving residents
greater value and convenience, as demonstrated by Comcast’s
deployments in several Florida communities. Individuals are able to
easily control their environment remotely through a mobile app or
from their living room through their Xfinity X1 cable box.
Additionally, multifamily property managers benefit as their
buildings and individual residences can become more energy
efficient and secure.
