IOTAS, Inc.

IOTAS is a software company in Portland that builds a smart home system for apartment residents. Its app brings around twenty connected devices together, supports voice control and applies automated intelligence.

The aim is to help multifamily owners and operators attract tenants while lowering utility and management costs. The company says it wants devices to work together rather than inside separate smart technology bubbles.

What IOTAS offers

• Smart home platform — one app that controls many devices in a rental apartment.
• Voice control — hands-free operation of the connected home.
• Automated intelligence — features that help residents save money and energy.
• Property operator tools — benefits for owners through tenant appeal and lower running costs.

Who it works with

Multifamily housing owners and operators. The platform is in communities across 40 national markets, with a launch in Canada planned for autumn 2018.
