01Built for how rentals run here

Your property should check guests in, stay online, and alert you before small problems become big ones.

Rentals in Quintana Roo fail in predictable ways: a CFE flicker takes down your router, humidity finds the leak your guest never noticed, and remote workers cancel the moment WiFi drops on the terrace.

We install eleven services across three bundles — Essentials, Security, and Convenience — or scope any single item on its own. Every walk-through ends with a written, line-item quote sized to your unit and what's already in place.

Smart home here isn't a gadget upgrade — it's how you protect reviews, cut midnight messages, and watch a property you can't walk through every week.The operating standard, not a showroom demo

30–90 min
Typical CFE outage window — long enough to drop your lock, router, cameras, and a guest's video call all at once. We size UPS backup to ride it out.
48 hrs
How fast an undetected leak in a closed, humid unit can turn into full mold remediation. Leak sensors alert you and your manager the moment moisture appears.
#1
Reason remote-work guests don't rebook: WiFi that dies on the terrace or reboots mid-call. Mesh and Starlink are booking-retention tools, not nice-to-haves.

03How it works

From walk-through to working systems.

1

Site walk + scope

We test current WiFi, photograph hardware, and map what goes where — with a written line-item scope.

2

Quote + approval

A custom quote by unit size and brand choices. You see every line before we order anything.

3

Install + configure

Hardware sourced locally, installed in a single visit, tested, and documented.

4

Ongoing support

Battery monitoring, firmware, code rotation, and replacements — bundled into Property Care.

04Who this is for

When this work earns its keep.

✦

Back-to-back short stays

Smart locks kill key handoffs, mesh keeps remote-work guests booking, and cameras quietly back up house rules. Essentials typically pays back in 60–90 days.

✦

Absentee owners abroad

Leak sensors, monitoring, and motion alerts are the difference between catching a problem early and a water-damage call three weeks later.

✦

New-build owners

New condos arrive with a single ISP router and nothing else. A full audit and bundle install gets the property guest-ready and review-competitive from day one.

05Common questions

Smart home, answered.

Do I have to buy all three bundles?
No. Every service is available individually. The bundles are just a way to think about priorities — most owners start with Essentials (locks, WiFi, UPS), then add Security or Convenience over time. We recommend a starting point after the walk-through.
How much does it cost?
Custom quote after the walk-through. As rough reference, a 2-bedroom Essentials install (smart lock + mesh WiFi + UPS) typically lands in the low-to-mid four figures USD for hardware and labor. Single services like a smart TV setup run much less. Ongoing support folds into your Property Care fee.
Do I have to be a PlayaStays management client?
No. Smart Home & Automation is standalone for any property in our coverage area. Ongoing support is most cost-effective bundled with property management, but the install itself stands alone.
Do I have to disclose cameras to guests?
Yes, and we handle it. Exterior cameras are disclosed in your listing per platform policy, with compliant copy provided. We never install cameras in bedrooms, bathrooms, or private interior spaces — exterior and entry-point only.
