four profiles · each spec's different recipes.
AstreaIoT works with four partner profiles · each spec's different recipes in their projects. Your role as partner is to identify the recipe that applies to the end client, install it, and we back you up with platform + support + reports.
HVAC installers
Spec thermostat + motion + window sensors (post-D2D AC controller homologated) · occupancy-driven climate · CFE savings · scheduled pre-conditioning. Your HVAC installation + our intelligence layer.
smart-home integrators
Spec security (PIR + door) · environment (T+RH+CO₂) · leaks + smoke/CO recipes · integration with existing Crestron, Control4, Lutron, Savant. AstreaIoT as low-cost IoT layer that complements premium smart-home.
security integrators
Spec perimeter + access recipes · combo with your existing alarm + cameras · LoRaWAN coverage where Wi-Fi/Ethernet does not reach (perimeters, sheds, remote areas). AstreaIoT as sensory extension of the security system.
project management + design-build
Spec AstreaIoT in project scope from design · deliveries ready with embedded monitoring · differentiator in competitive bids. Your firm closes the project · AstreaIoT is the IoT piece separating you from the competition.
Out of scope: your primary installation (HVAC, alarm, smart-home). AstreaIoT is the complementary IoT layer · does not compete with your primary product · amplifies it.
what you gain as partner · what you offer the client.
- +Competitive hardware + software margins · pricing designed for installer channel
- +Complete technical training · platform + recipes + support flow · 1-3 days per profile
- +Astrea technical support · escalations, complex cases, project sizing
- +Optional white-label reports · deliveries with your brand + platform backing
- +SaaS recurrence · continuous end-client MRR · not just CapEx one-shot
- ✕Integrated IoT monitoring in your primary install · no later retrofit · better experience
- ✕Coverage of zones your primary system does not cover (perimeter, dorms, mess hall, finishes)
- ✕Auditable NOM-251/STPS/NOM-018 reports · end client complies without manual entry
- ✕Cross-zone dashboard · your end client sees the whole property in one app
- ✕Differentiation vs competition offering only HVAC, only alarm, only smart-home without IoT
ten examples · of how to spec in real projects.
for the HVAC installer.
HVAC installer + climate integrator. Three examples · premium-home client wants CFE savings, hotelier wants occupancy-driven climate post-opening, builder wants field-office pre-conditioning. Your HVAC + our intelligence.
for the smart-home integrator.
Crestron/Control4/Lutron/Savant integrator. Two examples · premium home with existing smart-home wants leaks + environment, new home wants IoT from start. AstreaIoT as low-cost layer complementing premium smart-home without cannibalizing.
for the security integrator.
Security + alarm integrator. Three examples · large site wants camera-complementary perimeter, condominium wants auditable access, premium home wants alarm + IoT combo. AstreaIoT as sensory extension of your system.
for the project management integrator.
Project management + design-build firms. Two examples · competitive bid for premium residential development, bid for hotelier wanting monitoring from construction to soft-open. AstreaIoT as differentiator in competitive bids.
three levels · per your annual volume.
The partner program is governed by written agreement · contact the team to discuss the right level for your portfolio and region.
from sensor to report · every five minutes · without human intervention
Five steps. They run in parallel across all your sites, all the time. When something crosses a threshold, the flow completes in under five minutes — alert delivered, response logged, inspector-ready evidence captured.
measure
Sensors measure temperature, humidity, current, door-open, leak and other magnitudes every five minutes — no operator required.
detect
The system compares each reading against the threshold configured per recipe · per site · per equipment. Threshold crossing triggers the flow.
alert
The alert routes to the right person via WhatsApp, email or push · per role and schedule configured.
respond
The operator acts from the dashboard or mobile app. The corrective action goes into an immutable log with timestamp + signature.
audit
Everything becomes part of the audit package · time series, critical events, corrective actions, NOM report ready in two clicks.
Five steps · no manual operators · no paperwork · no gaps.
five phases · from partner candidate to active partner.
interview and alignment
1 sessionCall with Astrea team · review your portfolio + clients + region · identify the right partner profile and initial level.
technical training
1-3 daysCourse per profile (HVAC, smart-home, security, PM) · platform + recipes + install flow + support · initial certification.
first backed pilot project
1 projectYour first project with AstreaIoT · Astrea technical support available on site · sizing, configuration, delivery · field learning.
commercial onboarding
2 weeksCommercial strategy · sales materials · proposal templates · competitive pricing · pre-sales support for your leads.
active partner · continuous billing
continuousContinuous support program · quarterly metrics review · access to preview products · level upgrade when volume justifies.
For integrators with already-identified clients, time-to-first-invoiced-project is typically 30-60 days.
common questions · before applying to the program.
does AstreaIoT compete with my primary product (HVAC, alarm, smart-home)?
No · AstreaIoT is the complementary IoT layer. Your HVAC remains your HVAC · your alarm remains your alarm · your Crestron remains Crestron. AstreaIoT adds low-cost sensors and monitoring platform your primary system does not provide.
what client types are suitable for spec'ing AstreaIoT?
Mid-market and premium builders · multi-family and premium residential developers · hotels under construction · STR property managers · premium-home owners with staff · any client already investing in your primary install and benefiting from integrated IoT.
what is the typical partner margin?
Depends on level (Authorized · Certified · Premier) and region. Pricing designed for installer channel with competitive margins vs selling direct. Additional SaaS recurrence. We discuss the exact plan in the first interview.
what technical support does the partner receive?
Email, WhatsApp, call support per level. Certified and Premier partners receive priority support with SLA. Complex cases (large-project sizing, custom integration) escalated to Astrea engineering team.
can reports be done with partner branding?
Yes · optional white-label reports for Certified and Premier partners. End client receives reports with your logo + AstreaIoT platform backing technically. Your brand stays in the client relationship.
what if a partner stops meeting level requirements?
The program allows level mobility · if volume drops, adjusts to the right level without penalty. Quarterly metrics review to ensure alignment.
can multiple partners coexist in the same region?
Yes in most cases. Authorized and Certified partners coexist · Premier partners may have regional or vertical exclusivity agreements. Negotiated case by case to avoid client cannibalization.
