Control or management of smart devices may be provided by a smart thermostat hub that includes one or more processors and a memory coupled to the one or more processors. The smart thermostat hub also includes a first communication interface configured to communicatively couple the smart thermostat hub to a low-power, wide area network (LPWAN) communication link and a second communication interface configured to communicatively couple the smart thermostat hub to a wireless network via a wireless communication link. The wireless network is communicatively coupled to a set of one or more smart devices. The one or more processors are configured to initialize a connection between the second communication interface and the property management platform via the second communication interface.

Systems and methods for managing smart devices associated with a multi-family residential property are disclosed. A method of managing smart devices includes receiving, by a server from a first smart hub via a first network, information relating to operating conditions of each smart hub of a plurality of smart hubs. The first smart hub is operable as a gateway for relaying communications between the server via the first network and other smart hubs via a second network. The server monitors the operating conditions of each smart hub based on the information received from the first smart hub. Based on a detected change in the operating conditions of the first smart hub, the server selects a second smart hub to operate as the gateway. The server transmits one or more commands via the first network to switch the gateway from the first smart hub to the second smart hub.

In businesses that renovate or construct vacant houses and other residential properties for use as short-term rentals, the aim is to optimize the effectiveness of the accommodations. [Solution] The provision unit 22 generates web page data in response to a request received from the member terminal 10 via the communication unit 21 and provides it to the member terminal 10, and also stores the information received from the member terminal 10 in the storage unit 26. When the total number of membership units purchased by member 1 reaches a predetermined number, the distribution unit 23 executes a process to renovate or construct a new house 4 with the sales of the membership units, and distributes accommodation rights to member 1 for a number of nights corresponding to the number of units stored in the storage unit 26, using the house 4 as a short-term rental accommodation. When the exchange unit 24 receives information from the member terminal 10 via the communication unit 21 that member 1 wishes to exchange the accommodation rights distributed by the distribution unit 23, it exchanges accommodation rights between members 1 who wish to exchange with each other.
