Adding Nest and Ring devices to higher end apts

I'm rehabbing one of our buildings in an A rated neighborhood.  It has only 6 units, but we gutted the building and added AC to each apt, new SS appliances, granite, etc.  One of my guys thinks we should add Nest thermostats, sensors, doorbells and outdoor and hallway cameras to the building and units.  It would be the first on the block to have IOT rentals.  Other buildings on the block have all been rehabbed, but none have IOT devices.  The demo would be successful doctors, lawyers and politicians.  I normally don't add the bells and whistles, but the IOTs are starting to get popular.

Wha t are your thoughts?  Is there a way to give tenants access to the devices w/o compromising the ownership of the device?  That's my primary concern; not the cost.  We install them ourselves and get them pretty aggressively priced through our distribution partners.
