Universal Electronics and Della announced a joint smart HVAC solution for multifamily communities in September 2026. UEI's TIDE Touch thermostat is the hardware; Della OS turns every thermostat into part of one managed climate network.

Manage climate settings for one property or all of them from one place.
Temperature profiles that protect the unit during turnover and cut wasted energy, switched automatically by the lease.
Residents adjust comfort in the Della Resident app, separate from operator-level overrides.
Della Resident app for residents, and Della Connect for property and portfolio teams
UEI built a reliable hardware platform that works with most HVAC systems on the market. By combining TIDE Touch with Della OS, we convert raw device connectivity into complete property intelligence.

In September 2026, Universal Electronics Inc. (NASDAQ: UEIC) and Della announced an integrated smart HVAC and property management solution for multifamily communities. UEI designed TIDE Touch to work with conventional HVAC systems, PTACs and fan coils, with a full-color touchscreen and a built-in Zigbee coordinator. Della OS adds the software property teams run every day.
One thermostat that works with most HVAC equipment, managed in the same platform as access, Wi-Fi and resident services, gives you one climate standard across buildings built at different times with different systems.

Yes. Residents adjust comfort in the Della Resident app, while the property sets the limits and the vacant-unit rules.
Della OS connects property management systems, access control, smart locks, climate, Wi-Fi, cameras and more, so every building in a portfolio runs the same way, whatever hardware it already has.
