Abstract
Various aspects and embodiments of automation in tenancy transitions are described. Among other aspects or features of the embodiments, a computing device in an automation or gateway hub receives and stores automation settings from an automation management service environment over time. The automation settings can include different settings for various states of occupancy of a rental unit or dwelling. For example, the automation settings can include a first set of tenant-defined automation settings, which can be defined by a tenant while the dwelling is occupied by the tenant, and a second set of property-manger-defined vacancy automation settings for use after the tenant vacates the dwelling. The automation or gateway hub can determine whether a transition in tenancy has occurred for the dwelling (e.g., when the tenant moves out) and, in response to the transition, load the vacancy automation settings into one or more home automation devices of the dwelling.
