## Summary

Dan Simpkins, CEO and co-founder of Dwellwell Analytics, explains how his company uses IoT sensors and AI to transform residential maintenance from reactive to proactive. He describes the Dwellwell Node, a multi-sensor device that monitors ambient conditions like temperature, humidity, and air quality to detect issues such as leaking toilets or inefficient HVAC systems before they become catastrophic. Simpkins highlights that their primary customers are multifamily and single-family rental operators who face rising maintenance costs and labor shortages, arguing that holistic data integration is superior to siloed smart home devices. The discussion covers the challenges of selling deep tech to a skeptical real estate industry that requires proof of ROI before adoption.
