Welcome Home. With the new STRATIS Mobile App, Residents, Staff, Visitors, and Vendors can seamlessly use mobile passes for all electronic access points including elevators, parking garages, common areas, amenity areas, and of course, apartment units. Users have the ability to remotely control their smart devices in the unit (including thermostats, lighting, and more!), submit service requests, request access for visitors, and much more! CHECK OUT OUR LIST OF COMPATIBLE DEVICES: https://stratisiot.com/connected-solutions/. Your property must have these types of devices installed and connected to STRATIS in order to work with the mobile app. Check with your property manager if you have any questions! We make smart apartment living easier. Residents with accounts immediately gain access to any and all devices and access points they have permissions for. When a Resident moves off the property, they immediately lose access to that unit, and the devices revert back to property management control. Backed by our property-wide networks for device connectivity and our SOC 2 Type 2 audited security focus, Residents and Staff users can rest at ease that their devices, data, and units are safe and secure. STRATIS is Intelligent Buildings, not just shiny bells and whistles that typically come with the term “IoT.” We focus on security, energy management, asset protection, and efficiencies. We are installed in over 350,000 apartments in the U.S., and more than 30,000 apartments internationally. This new STRATIS Mobile App is a scalable and flexible foundation that we continue to grow on, so don’t be surprised when you see cool new features every couple of months!
