GRILLS? NOT SO MUCH
ATTENTION
RESIDENTS | For the safety of our residents, please refrain from using BBQ grills on patios. We know its a pain, but having an apartment fire might be more of a “pain”. Just sayin’. AND I will go a step further and give you some tips so this is not just a “DO NOT” flyer! Check it...
1. BROILING | Takes a little longer but gives intense heat to create a charring and caramelization.
2. INDOOR GRILL | It’s a process, but with careful cooking you can grill up a storm on the counter, fit it in your cabinets and the drip pan is dishwasher safe.
3. SOLAR COOKER | Home of the GREEN! Cook while you tan cause there has to be sunshine and you are going to be out there for A WHILE... but it’s eco-friendly and doesn’t cost a thing to use after you buy it.
4. ROASTING OVER SOAKED WOODCHIPS | Cheat option #1 for a smoky flavor. Soak woodchips in h2o, then spread along the bottom of an aluminum pan. Set meat on rack above chips and roast. Note to self: douce your furniture in Febreze later, your apt will smell of a camp fire.
5. FAKE THE FLAVOR | Cheat option #2. This is the least cool but good for folks with respiratory issues, for the tree huggers (not derogatory... I am one), and it’s beyond easy. Liquid Smoke is the name of the stuff. Yeah, it sounds weird.
Happy pseudo grilling! Let’s keep our property, pets and neighbors safe! NO PATIO GRILLS.
*not to be confused with these grills*

Welcome to Your New Smart Home
With the tap of just one button, you can turn your lights off, set your thermostat to auto mode and lock your door. It may sound too good to be true, but smart home automation makes this possible. Smart home automation provides a way to manage access, save money, get real time activity notifications, and help the environment with energy efficient practices all from one app.
Control your home from anywhere in the world! Let the dog walker or cleaning company into your apartment by sending them a temporary access code from your phone. Can’t remember if you turned off your straightener or unplugged the iron? Turn them off from your app! Running the AC all day will rack up your bill quickly, and why cool a house with no one in it? Set a schedule for your thermostat to save energy and money.

Remotely lock or unlock your door, create temporary codes for family and guests or even food delivery services, and easily update keyless credentials from the app within seconds using a smart lock. You’ll never have to worry about losing your keys again!

The hub is a small white box that sends and receives actions and automations based on commands from the app. It’s important to connect your hub to a local WiFi network in order to use the features and functionality of the mobile experience. If you choose not to use the mobile app to control your devices, you will still be able to interact with all your smart devices manually.
A smart plug is a great way to conserve energy or automate devices. Using the app, you can set schedules for most devices that use less than 200 watts and do not exceed 10 amps, like lamps, coffee makers and fans. Not all properties are equipped with plugs. Ask your property manager if your home has one or if you can purchase one through the app.
Smart device availability is determined by property management. Supported devices and features may vary.

Leak Sensor
Leak sensors are discrete water detection devices that fit under or near any appliance, sump pumps, water heaters, toilet or anything else that would be susceptible to leakage and water damage. This device will notify you and your property staff if a leak has been detected, saving costly repair expenses.
Voice Assistant Integrations
SmartRent offers integrations to connect your favorite voice assistant with the app. Elevate your smart home experience and use your voice to control your home. Set up Siri Shortcuts, enable an Alexa Skill or integrate your Google Assistant-supported device to turn off the lights, adjust the temperature and more!

APP FEATURES
What are Scenes?
Scenes allow you to adjust the settings of multiple devices with one tap, and can be set up with just a few steps in the app. For example, you may want to create a “goodbye” scene for when you leave that turns off all of your lights and locks your front door. After you create this scene, you can run it each time you leave your house to ensure your lights are off and your door is locked. Scenes are a great way to create an efficient home and will take your smart home to the next level.
APP FEATURES
What are Schedules?
Schedules allow you to automate a device by setting it to trigger an action (on, off, dim, etc.) at the same time on a specified day(s) of the week. Schedules are most commonly used for thermostats and entryway lighting, but can be customized for any of your devices.
For example, you may want to schedule your thermostat to auto mode for the hours and days you’re at work to keep your home temperature regulated. Creating a schedule is a great way to conserve energy and save money.

What if my activation link isn’t working?
If your activation link does not work or becomes expired, please forward your original activation email to support@smartrent.com and request a new activation link. Our support team will be happy to send you a new activation email so you can set up your account.
How does the Ring integration work?
With our Ring integration, you are able to link your Ring account with the SmartRent app. Linking your personal Ring devices allow you to control and manage them in a single app, and further improve the smart home experience.
What happens if the power goes out or the internet goes down?
Will I be locked out?
If the power goes out you will NOT be locked out of your home. Smart locks use batteries (not internet connection) for power and functionality. Any codes that have been added to your lock will still work. You will not be able to control the lock (or other devices) from the app until power is restored and the hub comes back online. This includes adding new codes, deleting codes and adjusting device settings.
If a power outage occurs, you will not be able to manually or remotely control your thermostat. HVAC systems also run off power and therefore will be rendered unusable until the power is restored. This scenario is no different than what you may have experienced with a non-connected thermostat. The thermostat display is battery-powered, so you will still see the screen display the current temperature and settings.
If the local internet in your home goes offline, you will not have the ability to control your smart devices from the mobile app until the hub comes back online. You will still be able to control your devices manually (typing your code into the lock, adjusting the temperature from the thermostat wall unit, etc.).
WHO TO CONTACT
We understand that smart home technology isn’t always smart. If you experience issues with your devices or app, use below as a general guideline for who to contact first. Our goal is to resolve any issue in the quickest way possible, and while the SmartRent Support Team is happy to provide guidance, please understand there are limitations if the issue is with a device.
It’s best to reach out to on-site staff first to resolve those issues and prevent further delay in finding a solution. It is your property’s responsibility to fix or replace devices, if necessary.

We are so excited to announce that Gables Residential has new rent payment services created with you in mind!
We request that all paper check rent payments are mailed to the below address rather than being dropped off at the leasing office. Allow for 7-10 business days delivery prior to the first of the month.
WIPS is a payment option that enables our residents to make a cash payment to a PayNearMe store location. A great alternative to purchasing a money order or cashier’s check. PayNearMe will send an electronic payment directly to the associated Gables apartment account. The payments are sent electronically, and receipts are given immediately. Most payments will post to your account by the next business day if made before 7pm EST. However, payments can take up to 3 business days to populate in your Gables account.
WIPS
• Obtain a WIPS Account Number: Contact the leasing office of your community to request your WIPS account information. Make sure they have your current email address.
• Review WIPS Account Email: Once you request the WIPS account number, an email is generated by our customer service representative and sent to you with specific instructions that will include a website link to find the nearest location who accept WIPS payments.
• Obtain Your Ledger Balance: It is important that you know the correct ledger balance due. This amount can be confirmed in your Gables Rent Café’ Resident Portal page. www.gables.com/residents
• PaySlip or Mobile Barcode: You will need one of these items to complete your payment at the vendor location. This is included in the WIPS account email.
• Fee: A minimal fee will be collected by the PayNearMe location for each transaction.
• Additional Instructions: Are included in the WIPS account email or can be found at PayNearMe.com.
How to Set Up AutoPay on Rent Cafe

4.) ENTER PAY DATE, PERCENTAGE AND MAX PAY
Select the day the payment will draft for payment. Then enter 100% in the Percentage. Next, enter in the Max Pay Amount. This amount will be the max that will pull from your bank. Keep in mind the average monthly charge will only show your rent and NOT water. It is recommended to do a max pay more than what you pay on average for rent and water The auto-pay will only draft what is due if your max pay is higher than what is owed
5.) HOW TO KNOW WHAT TO ENTER FOR MAX PAY
Unsure of what to enter for the Max Pay? Select Recent Activity to view your previous payments. If your average payment is $2000 then it is recommend to do the max pay as $2300 for good measure. Please note if the max pay is set up for less than what is owed the auto-pay will not be able to draft from the bank. For example, if your max pay is set at $2000, but you owe $2030 the auto-pay will not draft from the bank.
Should you have any questions do not hesitate to reach out to the Leasing Office.

DOO THE RIGHT THING
Furry Friends are fab! Pick up after them, and keep them close!
PET. SNUGGLE. LEASH. SCOOP.
If your dog poops, you scoop. Picking up pet poo may not be the coolest part of your day, but it’s simple common courtesy as a neighbor and resident of our community. It’s your “duty”, let’s keep it clean!
One More Thing: Don’t forget the leash. It’s for safety above all, but also is respectful of our fellow residents.
“Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole” -Roger Caras
