Each device in the O&M Insights platform is professionally installed and connected through Armada’s dedicated communications network. By remaining fully independent of resident Wi-Fi, our hardware provides the reliable, real-time visibility you need to manage your units’ water, heat, and air systems without connectivity gaps.

Operational Efficiency
Water Heater Optimizer
Transforming High-Risk Assets into Intelligent Data Points
The Water Heater Optimizer monitors electric water heaters in real time by tracking temperatures, power draw, and operational state. It is the engine behind your energy savings, enabling remote control and early failure detection before a resident ever reports an issue.
Key Capabilities
- Automated Alerting – Receive notifications for temperature deviations, usage anomalies, or connectivity loss to prevent system failure.
- Remote Setpoint Control – Adjust device settings to resolve issues without a site visit, reducing operational overhead and maintenance trips.
- Automated Vacancy Mode – Reduce temperatures during turnovers with scheduled restoration to capture immediate energy savings.
- Grid Interactive Revenue – Participate in demand response and time of use energy programs to generate new revenue streams.
- Dual-Zone Monitoring – Track temperatures in both the top and bottom tank zones to ensure consistent unit performance.
- Power Usage Tracking – Audit energy consumption for precise operational oversight and portfolio benchmarking.
Why it Matters
Water heater failures are a leading cause of resident complaints and silent utility cost spikes. The Optimizer turns these systems into continuously monitored, controllable assets—reducing failures and energy waste while unlocking new value through grid participation.
Risk Mitigation
Leak Sensors
Catching the Small Leaks Before They Become Claims
The most expensive water damage events start as small, undetected leaks. Our sensors are placed at the highest risk points, including under sinks, behind toilets, and near appliances, to shift the cost equation from major remediation to a simple service call.
Key Capabilities
- Tiered Alert Levels – Use yellow zone and red zone indicators to distinguish between minor moisture and major leaks.
- Automated Shutoff Integration – Pair with the Smart Water Valve to automatically shut off water when moisture is detected.
- Configurable Sensitivity – Adjust detection thresholds to match the property’s specific plumbing and environmental needs.
- Historical Event Documentation – Access sensor graphs for audit-ready documentation of any water event or mitigation effort.
Why it Matters
Undetected leaks lead to property damage, resident displacement, and high insurance claims. By identifying moisture at the source, Armada allows teams to intervene early, protecting physical assets and stabilizing the capital stack.
Asset Protection
Temperature & Humidity Sensors
Monitoring the Environment to Protect the Building Envelope
Ambient monitoring protects the building envelope from humidity damage and freeze events. This visibility allows teams to maintain property standards and resident comfort without the need for manual inspections.
Key Capabilities
- Ambient Temperature Monitoring – Receive automated alerts for high or low temperature deviations in any unit.
- Humidity Threshold Alerts – Monitor for humidity spikes to prevent property damage and maintain resident comfort.
- Freeze Risk Detection – Identify dangerous temperature drops in vacant or unoccupied units to prevent pipe bursts.
- Historical Climate Data – Review interactive graphs to benchmark environmental performance across the entire portfolio.
Why it Matters
Environmental extremes can cause structural degradation and mold growth if left unmanaged. These sensors provide the granular data necessary to verify unit conditions, ensuring both regulatory compliance and long term asset preservation.
Active Protection
Smart Water Valve
Closing the Loop on Damage Prevention
Detection without response is only half the solution. The Smart Water Valve provides remote water shutoff and 0-100% flow control, turning O&M Insights from a monitoring system into an active damage-prevention system.
Key Capabilities
- Automated Shutoff – Triggered the moment a leak sensor detects a red zone event.
- Remote Command – Shut off water to a unit from Fleet Commander or mobile app.
- Nuanced Flow Control – Manage 0 to 100% flow for precise water management.
- High Risk Security – Target top-floor units, vacant apartments, or flood-prone areas for enhanced protection.
Why it Matters
When a pipe bursts, response time is critical. The Smart Water Valve ensures that, even if your team is off-site, the water shuts off to prevent catastrophic damage.
HVAC Performance
Smart Thermostat
Precision Control and Performance Diagnostics
The Smart Thermostat is a primary point of contact for the O&M Insights platform. It monitors HVAC performance, tracks unit temperature and humidity, and enables remote scheduling. It serves as a diagnostic tool for property teams while providing a modern experience for residents.
Key Capabilities
- Health Monitoring – Track system performance and predictive diagnostics.
- Ambient Environmental Tracking – Identify mold or freeze risks through temperature and humidity data.
- Remote Setpoint Control – Manage schedules and temperature settings via Fleet Commander.
- Specialized System Alerts – Receive notifications for auxiliary heat mode and temperature deviations.
- Resident App Control – Provide occupants with personal comfort and scheduling tools.
Why it Matters
HVAC failures are expensive and disruptive. Fleet Commander data from the thermostat can identify compressor failures or incorrect post-repair configurations before they escalate into an emergency.
