The smart home revolution is transforming how we interact with our living spaces. While many solutions focus on retrofitting existing homes, RIoT Technology takes a pioneering approach by integrating automation directly into the construction of new homes. This ground-up strategy ensures peak performance, increased risk mitigation, and superior energy efficiency from the very beginning. This empowers both homeowners and builders, setting a new standard for intelligent living.

Brian McCarthy, CEO of RIoT Technology, explains, “As a builder, we knew that the best time to include home automation was during the build phase.”

These pre-integrated sensors seamlessly work with a home’s plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems. They include smart water shutoff valves, advanced water meters, HVAC performance monitors, indoor air quality monitors, and energy monitors. Acting as a home’s “check engine light,” these devices proactively identify and address issues to ensure optimal home performance.

For instance, RIoT’s smart water management system automatically closes exterior water lines when temperatures drop below freezing. This prevents potential pipe bursts and costly repairs. Similarly, the smart energy monitor provides real-time power consumption data, allowing homeowners to optimize energy use and reduce utility bills. These features also contribute to mitigating risk throughout the home by detecting potential problems before they escalate.

Enhancing Security and Minimizing Risk for Builders

Builders face substantial warranty exposure. While water leaks can be the most expensive, HVAC issues due to homeowner deferred maintenance are the most frequent. RIoT’s HVAC performance sensors address this concern by providing homeowners with real-time diagnostics and predictive maintenance alerts. These alerts can indicate, for example, when the air filter needs replacing, preventing more serious issues down the line. This proactive approach encourages builders to invest in preventative maintenance, ultimately leading to healthier living conditions for homeowners.

Building Trust and Empowering Homeowners

Beyond warranty concerns, RIoT’s technology enhances trust and satisfaction between builders and homeowners. The state-of-the-art indoor air quality sensors monitor temperature, humidity, and air pollutants, giving homeowners peace of mind and tangible cost savings through optimized energy use. The system’s user-friendly touchscreen kiosk provides real-time data and alerts, simplifying home management.

Dust Development, a custom home builder in Phoenix who specializes in net-zero, energy-efficient homes, exemplifies the effectiveness of RIoT’s solutions. To maintain optimal indoor air quality and energy efficiency in their tightly sealed homes, they require a comprehensive monitoring system. RIoT’s sensors provide detailed data on energy usage, HVAC performance, and indoor air quality. This collaboration not only ensures optimal indoor environments but also effectively showcases the benefits of net-zero homes to potential buyers.

Streamlined Installation and User Experience

RIoT ensures a hassle-free installation process for builders by providing pre-configured kits tailored to each home. These kits contain all the necessary devices, ready to be installed upon delivery. Trades can easily install these pre-paired devices without additional configuration as they are designed to communicate seamlessly with one another.

Unlike other home systems, the RIoT kiosk does not require an internet connection. Even if the WiFi goes down, the kiosk continues to operate and protect the home. The system then operates autonomously, providing real-time data and alerts through the user-friendly touchscreen kiosk already installed. “Our smart kiosk vigilantly monitors all systems,” states McCarthy. “A simple visual alert gives the homeowner immediate feedback on the state of their home’s systems.”

Future-Proofing Homes with Innovation

RIoT is constantly pushing the boundaries of smart home technology. Future advancements include teaming up with leading original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to integrate RIoT’s technology directly into household appliances. This will allow for real-time extraction of error codes and diagnostic information through APIs, further enhancing predictive maintenance capabilities. Additionally, RIoT has developed cloud-based energy management solutions to continue to improve energy efficiency and homeowner control.

Building Stronger Relationships and a Sustainable Future

RIoT goes beyond simply automating homes. The company fosters a diagnostic bridge between builders and homeowners, facilitating proactive maintenance and strengthening builder-client relationships. By providing builders with real-time data on home performance, RIoT empowers them to pre-empt potential issues before they escalate. This also helps builders stay compliant with evolving regulations regarding energy management, indoor air quality, and water conservation.

RIoT Technology stands out in the smart home market with its unique focus on performance diagnostics. With RIoT, builders are not just building homes; they’re creating intelligent living spaces, empowering homeowners, and fostering sustainable communities one connected home at a time.
