Sapphire is the resident and property-management app for connected apartment communities. It runs on a property's own smart-device ecosystem (locks, thermostats, cameras, and garage access) and gives residents and staff one app to manage all of it. This is provisioned software tied to a property account. Residents are invited by their property manager or added via their PMS integration; there is no public self-signup. WHAT RESIDENTS GET Smart lock access Unlock your front door, view lock status, and manage access codes for your unit without a physical key, through SmartThings, Brivo, Dormakaba, or RemoteLock integrations depending on what your property has installed. Thermostat control View and adjust your unit's thermostat, including scheduled automation your property manager has configured for vacant or move-in states. Garage and camera access Open myQ-connected garage doors and view Eagle Eye Networks camera feeds for common areas and access points your property has made available to residents. Community messaging and support Message your property team directly, browse a searchable knowledge base for common questions, and open a support ticket without leaving the app. WHAT PROPERTY STAFF GET A single dashboard across properties, units, and organizations, with role-based permissions, resident and lease management, device diagnostics, and PMS sync (RealPage, Yardi) so unit and resident data stays current automatically. REQUIREMENTS An active Sapphire account tied to a participating property. Residents cannot self-register; contact your property management office for access. Push notification, camera, and Bluetooth permissions may be requested depending on which integrations your property uses (e.g. photo attachments on support tickets, Bluetooth-paired locks). All are optional and the rest of the app works without them. ABOUT SAPPHIRE CONNECTED COMMUNITIES Sapphire builds a unified smart-access and property-management platform for multifamily housing, connecting locks, thermostats, cameras, and garage systems from multiple vendors into one resident and staff experience.
