Apartments have always been the standard of simple and luxurious city living. With Brilliant’s platform, developers can create a greener, more efficient building and attract long-term residents. It’s really quite simple: Brilliant is a friendly home for smart devices. Nest, Ring, Sonos, AppleKit, and Alexa can all live in harmony on one touch screen pad without the hassle of wires, myriad apps, and tech clutter. An added benefit is Brilliant’s sensible price range and bundle deals, which give you, the developer, the ability to make smart apartments more accessible.

Happy Residents 🙂

Who doesn’t love sleek, streamlined devices that make life easier? If your residents have a Brilliant-compatible device–and, trust us, it’s hard for them not to have one, as Brilliant’s system is very hospitable–they can connect it to their touchpad. Furthermore, they can create smart symphonies by combining multiple devices into one setting. For example, if the resident in Apt. 506 likes to wake up at 6 a.m. and set the temperature at a balmy 78 degrees for a make-shift hot yoga session while listening to Run DMC, they can configure a morning setting and simply forget about it. It’s definitely not tricky.

Greener Building

Most smart technology is energy-conscious, which is great news for both the environment and your budget. If the lights and A/C are accidentally left on, Brilliant’s built-in motion detection and smart thermostats are made for tending to such issues. They lower energy bills by automating lighting and heating or cooling to turn off when no one is home, or to stay level when residents are sleeping–reducing your energy consumption and electricity bill by nearly 30%. 

Increase Staff Efficiency

Brilliant cuts out lengthy administrative processes; former systems of residents calling the landlord, sending a letter to management, or submitting a request through an online platform your Brilliant device can accomplish on behalf of tenants. If an A/C is on the fritz, building management is notified. More often than not, the problem will be resolved before anyone even knows about it. With your smart solutions operating at such a quick and seamless pace, your staff can focus on delivering excellent customer service.

Flexible Security Solutions

Whether your building uses fobs, keypads, locks or fingerprint technology, Brilliant can accommodate to your preferred level of security and safety. This not only makes it easier for residents and their guests to access their household–keys and fobs get lost, and sometimes surprise visitors drop in–but it resolves in-unit issues more efficiently by having a uniform system for staff to access dwellings. The built-in camera allows residents to check in on their unit during maintenance calls (or any high school get-togethers while parents are away), while the option to cover the camera for some do-not-disturb time is always available with the built-in privacy shutter.

Your residences are great–but they can be Brilliant!
