What's broken in Smart Homes & Institutions today
Property security and management in Nairobi and across Africa still runs on physical keys, manual gates, and security guards who can be distracted or compromised. Physical keys are duplicated without authorisation, lost, or handed to someone they shouldn't be. Airbnb hosts hand their house key to a stranger and hope for the best. Estate managers receive calls from residents stuck outside at 11 PM because the gate guard is asleep. Offices are broken into after hours because nobody checked whether the last person locked up properly.
Energy waste in residential and commercial properties is invisible without sub-metering. The electricity bill arrives at the end of the month with a single total — but nobody knows which floor, which apartment, or which piece of equipment is responsible for the high consumption. Pipe leaks develop slowly behind walls for months before they're discovered as a mould problem or a structural issue. None of these problems are hard to solve — they just need the right sensors and the right platform.
AdvaIoT replaces physical keys with smart locks that you control from your phone. Grant access to cleaners from Tuesday to Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM. Give your Airbnb guest a unique code that expires the moment they check out. Open the gate for a delivery person without leaving your office. Revoke access the instant it's no longer needed — no re-keying, no chasing, no risk.
Smart gate and boom control with intercom-linked cameras means your estate or office entrance is managed precisely. Residents open their own gate from the car. Security can verify and admit visitors remotely. After-hours motion detection on cameras and perimeter sensors alerts security to any unauthorised presence before a break-in can occur. Energy sub-meters and leak sensors run in the background, catching waste and faults before they become expensive surprises.

Capabilities
Purpose-built IoT solutions for smart homes & institutions operations across Africa.
Smart Lock Management
Remote lock/unlock, time-limited guest codes, and biometric or RFID access for residential and commercial properties. Full access log for every door, every time.
Automated Gate & Boom Control
Vehicle tag, remote app, and guard-panel gate control for estate and office entrances. Intercom integration with camera display. Log every vehicle entry and exit with timestamp.
CCTV & Motion Sensing
IP camera integration with cloud recording and remote live view. Motion-triggered alerts with camera snapshot to your phone. After-hours perimeter monitoring.
Visitor Intercom & Management
Video intercom at gates and entrance points with remote answer and release via mobile app. Pre-registration of expected visitors. Digital visitor log replacing paper systems.
Per-Unit Energy Monitoring
Electricity sub-meters per apartment, office, or floor. Real-time consumption tracking, high-usage alerts, and monthly tenant billing breakdowns from a single dashboard.
Leak & Flood Detection
Water leak sensors under sinks, near geysers, and in roof voids. Instant alerts at the first sign of moisture. Prevent structural damage and mould from slow leaks.
Temperature & Air Quality
Smart thermostats, CO detectors, and air quality monitors for homes, hotels, and offices. Automated HVAC scheduling based on occupancy and air quality thresholds.
Unified Property App
One app for all your properties. Control locks, gates, cameras, energy, and sensors across multiple homes or an entire estate portfolio from a single mobile interface.
How it works in the field
Airbnb & Short-Term Rental Management
The Situation
An Airbnb host managing 6 apartments across Westlands and Kilimani was handing physical keys to each guest and relying on the cleaning team to confirm turnovers. Lost keys, early check-ins, and late checkouts were creating constant friction and security concerns.
The Outcome
Smart locks with auto-expiring guest codes eliminated physical key management entirely. The host now manages all 6 properties from a phone app. Guest codes are issued automatically via the booking platform integration and expire at checkout. No key has been lost since deployment.
Gated Estate Resident & Visitor Management
The Situation
A 120-unit gated estate in Karen was managing vehicle access with a barrier arm and a paper visitors' book. Long queues at peak times, visitor disputes, and two incidents of unauthorised vehicles tailgating through the barrier prompted the estate management to look for a solution.
The Outcome
Vehicle RFID tags for all residents with automatic barrier release. Visitor pre-registration via WhatsApp to the guard app. Queue times at the main gate dropped from 8 minutes to under 90 seconds. Tailgating incidents were eliminated through barrier timing control.
Office Building After-Hours Security
The Situation
A 12-floor office building in Upper Hill was experiencing after-hours access by unauthorised individuals — primarily contractors and cleaning staff accessing floors outside their permitted times. Management had no way to track or restrict movement.
The Outcome
Floor-by-floor smart access with time-restricted profiles for contractors and cleaning teams. Access logs showed two after-hours intrusions in the first week, both traced to cleaning staff who had their profiles adjusted immediately. No further unauthorised access events.
How we deploy
Property Assessment
We survey your property — door types, gate infrastructure, existing CCTV, electrical sub-metering — and design a solution that integrates with your physical infrastructure without requiring structural changes.
Hardware Installation
Smart locks, gate controllers, cameras, sensors, and sub-meters are installed by our certified electricians and access control engineers. Most residential installations complete in a single day.
App Setup & User Onboarding
Your property management app is configured with all users, access levels, and alert rules. We train property managers, security staff, and residents on their respective interfaces.
Remote Management & Support
All hardware is remotely monitored. Lock battery levels, camera health, and gate status are tracked by our support system. Software updates are pushed automatically. Support is available via WhatsApp and phone.
Proof in the field
A property management company managing 42 residential units across 3 Nairobi estates
Challenge: Physical key management for 42 units, gate queue complaints from residents, and no energy monitoring for cost allocation across shared utilities.
Result: Smart locks on all units, RFID vehicle access at all 3 gates, and energy sub-metering on all shared circuits. Key-related maintenance calls dropped to zero. Gate queues eliminated. Shared energy cost recovery improved by 28%.
