Comcast announced that it is launching a new program to provide single-family home and multifamily property developers access to a variety of leading home automation device providers and the Xfinity comprehensive smart home automation platform. Headed by Xfinity Communities, Comcast’s business unit servicing the multifamily property market, this program allows residents to purchase homes with built-in, automation technologies from Xfinity Home and provides developers with an easy and effective means of differentiating and modernizing their properties. Integrating smart home technology directly into multifamily developments has proven to be successful in giving residents greater value and convenience, as demonstrated by Comcast’s deployments in several Florida communities. Individuals are able to easily control their environment remotely through a mobile app or from their living room through their Xfinity X1 cable box. Additionally, multifamily property managers benefit as their buildings and individual residences can become more energy efficient and secure.
