Abstract
A computer-implemented method for managing property includes registering a phone number associated with a phone of a user, receiving a first message or call from a phone of the user, performing a query by an authenticator to determine if the phone number of the phone of the user is registered, sending one or more commands to the phone of the user for the user to select to operate the one or more devices if the phone number of the phone of the user is registered, receiving a command selected by the user to operate a selected device from the one or more commands sent to the phone of the user to operate the one or more devices, and operating the one or more devices upon executing the command selected by the user.
