DOOR Smart Home — overview for residents
If your property has installed DOOR Smart Home devices in your unit, you can view and control them from the Controls tab in the DOOR App. This article maps which devices exist, what each one does, and whether you control it or the property does.

How to find your devices
- Open the DOOR App.
- Tap the Controls tab.
- Tap any device, then tap Open device settings to see its Dashboard, History, and Settings.
Remote access
When connected to the internet, you can control all your Smart Home devices from anywhere — not just while at home. Temperature, lighting, and alerts can be adjusted remotely.
The DOOR Hub
The Hub is the gateway for all other Smart Home devices. It needs to stay online for the other devices to report data and receive commands. You don't directly control the Hub, but you can view its connection status in the Controls tab. If the Hub goes offline, smart home devices will stop sending updates until it reconnects.
