GeckoBee upgrades for CasaPonte

Paul Cooper, owner of Jaco’s largest and most successful single residence rental property, has been leveraging GeckoTech’s gEye services for the past several years.   The original gEye deployment used standard “hard button” thermostats in 17+ areas of the rental property.   Now that Paul has started the design of his third “free standing” house on the rental property he is evaluating new technologies that improve the overall guest experience while ensuring continued energy savings.  Ok, so what new technologies has he deployed?   None other than the newest generation Ecobee 3 Thermostat.   This thermostat is sleek, sexy and provides so much valuable information via its user interface.  GeckoTech is hopeful that this new generation thermostat from Ecobee will in fact become the standard thermostat (thermostat of preference) in all future gEye deployments.

Record earthquake demonstrates GeckoTech “staying power”

GeckoTech is responsible for one of Costa Rica’s most spectacular Home Entertainment installations. The Vista La Palmas penthouse has in excess of 48 speakers (4 of which drop out of the ceiling and pivot), 8 TVs (ranging from 42 to 60 inches), 6000W of online power backup, 18 zones of audio, 4 movie on demand players. The list could go on and on. During the 2012 September 5th earthquake, the VLP penthouse, situated 17 floors above sea-level experienced more side to side movement than any other area of the pacific coast. Because GeckoTech engineers believe in sturdy/robust mounting techniques not a single TV was dislodged from the wall nor damaged. Pretty impressive given the magnitude of the quake. We wish other units (lower) in VLP had been as fortunate. “Fortune” starts with solid engineering work from GeckoTech.
