Property types and portfolio fit Institutional Multifamily Also known as iApts Website [https://www.iapts.com/](https://www.iapts.com/) iApartments is a cellular smart-apartment platform from Tampa built around one piece of hardware, the Intelligent Hub Thermostat, which puts an LTE CAT M1 radio inside the thermostat so the unit needs no managed Wi-Fi and no separate hub. Around it sit brand-agnostic smart locks, with the Yale Assure Lock 2 as the default, water and humidity sensors, lighting switches and plugs, Alexa voice control, a FireAvert stove shutoff and self-guided tours. Its own comparison article sums up the pitch as fewer lockouts, smoother turns and less wasted energy in vacant units, with the system working during vacancies, turns and resident Wi-Fi outages. That connectivity model is what separates it from most of the [smart home for multifamily category](/property-management-software/smart-home-for-multifamily/). One practical note: the company’s site is iapts.com, and iapartments.com belongs to an unrelated Dallas apartment locator. The facts panel below is rendered from our vendor database with a source URL and verification date on each entry. ## Who it fits and who it does not The database tags institutional multifamily, and the vendor’s own pages name multifamily operators, build-to-rent and both new construction and retrofit. The buyer is an operator with a building that cannot justify a managed Wi-Fi project, a garden community from the 1990s or a scattered build-to-rent phase, who wants the thermostat, lock and leak sensor to work the day the unit is vacant. The 348-unit Arizona community in its case study is the shape of the deal: one property, every unit, and the savings measured in HVAC runtime and staff hours. It does not tag single-family rental, small multifamily or student housing in the database. An owner with a few dozen doors should read the category guide first, because the vendors here sell by the community. ## Pricing Pricing is not published, and iApartments describes it as proposal-based in its own comparison article. Ask for the per-unit hardware figure with the hub thermostat and the lock together, the per-unit monthly software figure, the installation cost for your building type, and who pays the cellular line, since every unit carries its own radio. Ask whether the contract is month-to-month or annual and who owns the thermostats at the end of it. The figures on its pages are outcomes, not prices: 778 or more hours returned to staff and $17,000 in HVAC savings from 30% less runtime at the Arizona community, and an NOI claim of $258 or more per unit. Those are vendor numbers. Ask for the same figures at a community that matches yours in unit count, climate and construction year. ## Integrations The fetched pages name no property management system. That is the largest gap in the record and the first thing to settle in a demo. Ask whether a move-out in Yardi, RealPage or Entrata changes the lock code and sets the thermostat back without anyone on site, and ask for a written list of the systems it connects to. On the device side, the record shows the Yale Assure Lock 2, Alexa and FireAvert, and the vendor markets itself as smart-lock agnostic, so an operator standardized on another lock brand should ask what that agnosticism covers in practice. The context for any of these platforms is the smart-building module the PMS sells itself. A buyer on RealPage should ask what RealPage Smart Building covers before adding a second vendor. ## Limitations and questions to ask The cellular model removes the Wi-Fi dependency and adds a coverage question. Ask for a signal survey of interior and below-grade units before the proposal is priced, because a thermostat with no signal is a thermostat with no platform. Ask what the lock does when the cellular link is down; no fetched page from any vendor in the category states that. Ask the battery life on the lock and on the thermostat radio, and what the turn checklist looks like when a resident moves out, since the research names device resets and reconfiguration every lease cycle as the cost that recurs. The comparison article the vendor publishes is written by iApartments about its rivals. It is useful for the vendor’s own positioning and nothing else. Run your own comparison in the demo with your PMS login. ## Alternatives The [vendor list for the smart home category](/property-management-software/smart-home-for-multifamily/vendors/) compares all seven vendors with the same facts. The nearest rival on connectivity is [PointCentral](/vendors/pointcentral/), Alarm.com’s cellular-hub platform, which lists five PMS integrations where iApartments lists none. [Quext](/vendors/quext/) also puts the radio inside the thermostat, using LoRaWAN instead of LTE, and bundles NFC locks and managed internet with it. ## AI visibility The AI Shortlist Index will measure smart home platforms when a prompt set for the category is approved, and the iApartments row will appear here from that edition on. ## Live from the Index, September 2026 iApartments was named in 4% of runs across 1 engine that answered, rank 16 in access control .
