Local control, cloud when needed
Features designed for local control can work without internet. Remote access and some additional services need a connection.
UpHome for multi-story buildings
Your entire residential building, connected. Easier for residents, clearer for building teams.
Access control, intercoms, heating and cooling, metering, EV charging and resident requests, all connected. UpHome helps building teams work more efficiently—with GPT or Claude where useful, or without AI.

Business value
What developers, managers and residents gain.
Developers can plan connected systems from the outset. Building teams can track events and resident requests in one place. Residents can access everyday services from one app.
For developers
Coordinated systems from the design stage.
For operators
Events, permissions and requests in one place.
For residents
Door entry, bookings and notifications in one app.
Features
From the entrance to the plant room.
Access control, intercoms, license plate recognition, metering, heating and cooling, lighting, shading, EV charging, bookings and resident communications all serve the same building. They work better together.
Security & access
Digital keys, video intercom, mobile access and licence plate recognition.
Energy & HVAC
Heating and cooling control, sub-metering and leak detection.
Lighting & shading
Lighting, motorised shading and audio for apartments and common areas.
Metering and building data
Consumption data, device status and events for building teams.
Resident app
Door entry, home control, bookings, notifications and requests in one place.
Different devices, one connected system.
Controllers, locks, sensors, cameras and chargers can be connected. We select supported devices to fit each project.

AI support
Understand the issue and who should handle it.
Residential buildings generate readings, events and resident reports. GPT and Claude integrations can help summarize them, spot connections and distinguish between apartment issues, shared building systems and external providers. They work only with authorized data.
- AI accesses only permitted data
- AI is optional
- Actions still require authorization
An example from operations
One apartment is too cold
1
Report
A resident reports that their apartment is not heating properly.
2
Review the data
The building manager reviews available temperature and equipment data, along with earlier reports.
3
Possible causes
AI can help identify whether to check controls inside the apartment, central equipment or the utility provider.
4
Assign the next step
The building manager decides who should handle the issue and passes on the relevant information.
AI – optional
With or without AI, the building still works.
UpHome’s essential building functions do not require GPT, Claude or any other AI service. AI access can be enabled, limited or disabled. Which features work locally and which need internet depends on the installation.
AI integrations
Ask ChatGPT or Claude about your building.
The operator connects UpHome to ChatGPT or Claude with their own admin account. The assistant only sees the projects that account can open, and it only reads: it does not change settings or switch devices.
ChatGPT
A weekly status report from one question: which controllers are offline, which issues are open and what the suggested next step is.
“Which apartments have an offline controller right now?”
Claude
Comfort and consumption checks: which apartments do not reach the set temperature and why, and what the heat, cooling and water meters show.
“Why is the apartment on the third floor cold?”
Building and controller status
Online and offline controllers and devices, open issues with an explanation.
Heating and cooling per apartment
Room temperature, target, humidity and history.
Meters and consumption
Heat, cooling and water meter readings per apartment, where meters are installed.
Read-only, with your permissions
Sign-in with the admin account; the assistant does not change anything.
In everyday use
Energy, comfort and security.
The system helps track consumption, use resident services and manage access. These functions do not require AI.

Software plus hardware
More than an app: connected building systems.
UpHome does more than display data. Installed controllers, access devices and automation run in the building; apps and optional cloud services connect to them.
1
Plan the building infrastructure
Map doors, apartments, common areas, networks, panels, controllers and handover requirements.
2
Commission the on-site system
Install controllers, access devices, thermostats, sensors, lighting, shading and automation logic.
3
Launch the resident and operator apps
Onboard residents, staff and operators to the app and the operator dashboard.
Who it serves
Built for the people who use and run the building.
Developers
A connected building from day one.
Access control, metering, automation and the resident app can be coordinated from the design stage.
Operators
Spot what needs attention.
Resident requests, meter readings, events and permissions in one place.
Residents
Fewer apps, simpler everyday tasks.
Door entry, climate control, booking shared spaces, notifications and requests from one app.
Portfolio managers
Manage multiple buildings together.
Standard workflows, clear support and open integration with property management systems via APIs.

FAQ
Common questions
It connects access control, intercoms, heating and cooling, metering, resident apps and other supported systems. Residents can manage everyday tasks more easily, and building teams gain a clearer view of operations.
When a credential is presented, the system checks the person, time, zone and permission level against the rules you set, then grants or denies entry. Events can be logged so they can be reviewed later.
Yes, as long as the existing devices are technically suitable. The platform is vendor-neutral and can connect to a range of thermostats, locks, lighting, intercoms, cameras and sensors. During the assessment we map the existing infrastructure and prepare an integration plan.
The schedule depends on the size of the building, the existing systems and the scope of the project. After the assessment we provide a specific timeline.
How doors behave during an outage is defined by fire safety and security regulations and by the technical design. We agree on this separately for each project.
Yes. UpHome can be used in new and existing buildings. For retrofits, the assessment shows which systems can stay and where new devices are needed.
No. Access control, local controls and automation work without AI. GPT and Claude access is optional and can be restricted by permissions.
Features designed for local operation can work without internet. Remote access, GPT and Claude and some cloud services require a connection. The exact behavior depends on the installation.
GPT and Claude can help analyze authorized building data, summarize maintenance reports and clarify next steps. AI does not replace the building team’s decisions and does not automatically receive access to all data.
