We continually strive for efficiency, cost savings, better security, and accountability. Acme is proud to have developed a home access, energy & internet access management system which allows our company to provide seamless Guest management.
WHAT WILL THE SYSTEM DO?
- Provide remote and local control of thermostats, locks, and the power for internet modem for remote power cycle.
- Saves trips and the cost to meet vendors at your home. With this system, trusted vendor partners can be let in remotely by us when they arrive to the home via instant unlock by our office staff. We can re-lock when they depart, drop by for alarm arming as a drive by type of action versus a waiting activity which is much more costly to you as an owner.
- Save HVAC repair trips, because we can troubleshoot many common issues remotely over the internet.
- Save visits for internet equipment reboot, which ends up as the solution for 80% of internet connectivity issues.
- Make sure that if your house has a guest, a cleaner, is empty, or is getting ready for arrival, it is always at the right temperature for the occasion and is never cooling or warming an empty house. If doors are left open, the system will turn off until they are closed. We post the information at the home so guests know why the AC has turned off.
- With the front door lock on the system, codes for guests are auto generated out of our property management system based on their arrival and departure. When they are set to depart, their code ceases to work, the HVAC goes into unoccupied mode, and we receive a notification they are gone.
- With all others who are granted regular access, they have their own door lock code, specific to the person which has entry time restrictions such as 7am to 7pm. One code one person, along with logging, allows us always be able to tell you who was in your home and when, for how long. This will no doubt increase the accountability of our vendors and staff.
WHAT IS THE COST?
Installation costs vary; this depends on size of home, number of door locks, door sensors and thermostats, then $20 per month.
CAN I REUSE THE EQUIPMENT IF I PART WITH ACME?
The equipment is Z wave, which is the standard in home automation, so you can absolutely use the equipment with most other systems out there. Not a dime wasted.
HOW MUCH CAN I SAVE BECAUSE OF THE SYSTEM?
While every property is unique and no specific performance guaranty can be made by Acme, it is expected that the system should pay for itself in one or two years, based on energy savings alone. The other savings come from:
- Less service trips to your home.
- Less charges to meet vendors at your home.
- Less cost for internet fixes.
- No more re keying periodically.
DO I HAVE TO PUT THIS IN?
- This is how Acme controls access to your home, so yes, it is required. Once installed, it belongs to you as it is permanently attached to your home.
- You only need the base system, lock, hub, and internet modem reboot outlet.
- You should definitely do the thermostat as well, as it is only a few hundred more and could easily save that in one month in the summer.
CAN I PUT MY OWN AUTOMATION SYSTEM INSTEAD, FOR THERMOSTAT & DOOR LOCK?
- Do you really want to be responsible for everything at your home, or would you like us to?
- Owners who have put in nest thermostats, call several times a month inquiring about the usage. Was someone from Acme at the house? Who was there and why? Are they gone now, can I turn up the AC? Is the guest gone so I can turn the AC off? Our system does all of this automatically based on codes entered in the door, and information it pulls off of our property management system. We love nest too, but they do not help you run a vacation rental. Pointcentral does.
