Do I Need a Smart Storage Unit?
Between busy schedules, major life transitions, and growing storage needs, having more visibility and control over a storage unit can make all the difference. For those considering whether a smart storage unit is the right solution, Daffodil Storage provides helpful features to enhance the experience.
What Makes a Storage Unit “Smart”?
A smart storage unit includes built-in motion sensors that detect activity and send real-time text alerts directly to your phone. These notifications inform you when someone enters your unit or when movement is detected inside, without requiring you to visit the facility.
Smart units also eliminate the need for physical keys and gate access codes. Just download the mobile app, and your smart device becomes the key to your storage unit. Speaking of your storage unit, if your rental includes smart access, you can also remotely add or revoke access for another person through the app.
If smart units or smart access sound right for your needs, you can find smart units and smart access at select Daffodil Storage locations to enhance your storage experience:
