With these formalities out of the way, I'd now like to turn the call over to Steve Trundle. You may begin. Thank you, David. Good afternoon, welcome to everyone. We are pleased to report solid Q1 results to begin the year. Our SaaS and license revenue in the Q1 was $107.4 million, up 16.8% over last year. Our adjusted EBITDA in the Q1 was $35.6 million. I want to thank our service provider partners and the Alarm.com team for their contributions to our results and for their ongoing performance during these challenging times. The favorable conditions that we saw in the U.S. and Canadian residential markets in late 2020 carried into the Q1 of 2021. This momentum was driven by new account creation and the growing adoption of advanced services such as video and video analytics. Commercial sales opportunities in the large-scale enterprise segment also improved, remain somewhat below pre-pandemic levels. Our international business remains more impacted by the pandemic than our U.S. and Canadian business. As we monitor conditions in our international markets, our team continues to add new service providers to better position for the growth we expect once more robust recoveries are underway in these markets. During the quarter, we continued to build on our growth initiatives and invest in new product development programs. I want to update you on some of the technology we released and other key developments over the period. I'll begin with our residential services. I discussed the launch of the Alarm.com Touchless Video Doorbell last quarter, and we saw encouraging adoption during its initial rollout. In the Q1, nearly 1,200 service providers installed the new product. This shows the level of confidence that our service providers have in our ability to deploy innovative, market-leading products that also meet the dependability and performance expectations associated with life safety solutions. To expand on our success in the video doorbell category, we are establishing a diverse product lineup with a range of price points. We continue to offer our traditional doorbell products, and we saw strong sales across the value spectrum of our lineup in the U.S. and Canadian residential markets. Shifting to our commercial solutions, we recently launched Smarter Business Temperature Monitoring for restaurants, grocery stores, pharmacies, and other commercial verticals with temperature-sensitive inventory or areas. The solution uses temperature sensors, which are integrated with our supported security control panels. It provides comprehensive monitoring, real-time alerts, historical reporting, and multi-location awareness to ensure health safety and inspection compliance. Customized alerts can inform the subscriber if the temperature in a refrigerator or freezer is outside predefined thresholds or if a door is left open for a predetermined length of time. The Alarm.com reporting engine provides an audit of out-of-range temperature incidents that includes the incident's total time. We also launched a new enterprise dashboard to provide a single interface for monitoring storage temperatures and trouble conditions across multiple business locations and refrigeration units. We integrated this new temperature monitoring solution into our higher value Commercial Plus service plan. This is part of our ongoing effort to develop unique capabilities that are available only through our Commercial Plus offering, where ARPU is more favorable. As a result, the portion of new commercial subscribers taking a Commercial Plus plan has increased by 35% since 2018. With a strong ROI-based value proposition, we expect temperature monitoring to contribute further to these results and generate additional RMR for our service providers. We also enhanced the enterprise dashboards that we designed to make it easier for multi-location businesses to monitor and manage their properties. For businesses with multiple cameras installed across multiple sites, monitoring the high volume of activity and ensuring that all the cameras are performing reliably with the traditional video solution is cumbersome at best. We believe our enterprise video dashboard offers a smarter and more efficient solution. The new enhancements include a single screen for viewing video clips of important activity captured by any camera from any location. We also automated the process of monitoring the operational status of video cameras. On-demand video health reports summarize the status and trouble conditions discovered on all video cameras that the business has deployed. New trouble condition filters can also pinpoint specific issues at specific sites. We also strengthened the enterprise dashboard to enable multi-site security administrators to manage enterprise credentials across locations more easily. For example, administrators can assign a single user code to provide employees with customized access to any business location or region. Streamlining these workflows and permissions simplifies the process for administrators and employees while enhancing security and control at every location. Before I hand things over to Steve Valenzuela, I want to update you on new developments with EnergyHub. EnergyHub orchestrates and manages distributed energy resources, including thermostats, batteries, commercial and industrial resources, solar inverters, and electric vehicle chargers. EnergyHub's steady expansion of its industry-leading ecosystem and associated services has opened new opportunities in growth areas. A critical strategic challenge that EnergyHub's utility customers are actively planning for is how to manage the substantial increase in demand on the grid that electric vehicle charging will create. EnergyHub is investing in comprehensive solutions to help address this. This past quarter, EnergyHub added another EV charging program to its platform through a partnership with Potomac Edison. Potomac Edison will use EnergyHub's platform to administer a dynamic pricing program for electric vehicle charging. By managing data from electric vehicle chargers, the EnergyHub platform will encourage charging during off-peak hours and support customer adoption of connected charging infrastructure. EnergyHub also announced the launch of Mercury Edge Connect. This is a standardized framework for integrating distributed energy resources such as connected EV chargers and batteries with EnergyHub's platform. We believe streamlining the integration process for providers of these devices will strengthen EnergyHub's position as the single platform for utilities to manage a broad range of customer-owned distributed energy resources. To conclude, I'm pleased with our Q1 results and the progress we made to expand our platform during the quarter. I want to thank our service provider partners and our team for their hard work and our investors for their continued trust in our business. With that, let me turn things over to Steve Valenzuela. Steve? Thanks, Steve. I will begin with a review of our strong Q1 2021 financial results and discuss guidance before opening the call for questions. SaaS and license revenue in the Q1 grew 16.8% from the same quarter last year to $107.4 million. This includes Connect software license revenue of approximately $8.7 million for the Q1, down as expected from $9.7 million in the year-ago quarter. SaaS and license revenue for our Alarm.com segment grew 15.8% year-over-year. Our other segment grew 34.9% over the same period. Our SaaS and license revenue visibility remains high, with a revenue renewal rate of 95% in the Q1, which is above our historical range of 92%-94%. This slightly higher revenue renewal rate, we believe is likely the result of fewer people moving homes at the start of the pandemic, and we could see a return to the historic range in the next quarter or two. Hardware and other revenue in the Q1 was $65.1 million, up 8.5% over Q1 2020. We continue to see strong sales of our video cameras, driven by increased adoption of our industry-leading video solutions and video analytics capabilities. Total revenue of $172.5 million for the Q1 grew 13.5% year-over-year. SaaS and license gross margin for the Q1 was 85.9%, down approximately 70 basis points from Q1 2020 gross margin, mainly due to product mix. Hardware gross margin was 22.3% for the Q1, compared to 23.9% for the same quarter last year, mainly due to product mix and also somewhat due to increased supply chain costs, as the global supply chain has been more challenging recently. Total gross margin was 61.9% for the Q1, up slightly from the same quarter last year. Turning to operating expenses. R&D expenses in the Q1 were $42.5 million, $39.7 million for the Q1 of 2020. We ended the Q1 with 797 employees in R&D, up from 650 employees in the same quarter last year. Total headcount increased to 1,414 employees in the Q1, compared to 1,227 employees a year ago. Sales and marketing expenses in the Q1 were $19 million or 11% of total revenue, compared to $17.1 million or 11.2% of revenue in the same quarter last year. Our G&A expenses in the Q1 were $22.9 million, up from $20.9 million in the same quarter last year. G&A expense in the Q1 includes non-ordinary course litigation expense of $5.3 million, compared to $2.5 million for Q1 2020. Non-ordinary course litigation expenses are part of our adjusted measures and are excluded from our measurement of our non-GAAP financial performance. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA for the Q1 was $35.6 million, up from $29.2 million in Q1 2020. In the Q1, GAAP net income was $14.8 million, compared to GAAP income $8.8 million for Q1 2020. Non-GAAP adjusted net income increased to $25.8 million or $0.50 per diluted share in the Q1, compared to $20.9 million or $0.42 per share for the Q1 of 2020. Turning to our balance sheet, we ended the Q1 with $642.2 million of cash and cash equivalents. This includes net proceeds of approximately $484.3 million from the issuance of our 0% convertible bonds we closed in January of this year and reflects the concurrent payoff of our senior revolving debt facility, which had an outstanding principal balance of $110 million. In the Q1, we generated approximately $21.2 million in cash flow from operations, compared to $12.9 million for the Q1 of 2020. Our free cash flow for the Q1 was $17.2 million, up from $9.2 million for the same quarter last year. In the Q1, our capital equipment purchases were about $4.1 million, up slightly from $3.7 million in the Q1 of 2020. Turning to our financial outlook. For the second quarter of 2021, we expect SaaS and license revenue of $108.9 million-$109.1 million. For the full year of 2021, we expect SaaS and license revenue to be between $445.5 million-$446 million, up from our prior guidance of $440.5 million-$441.5 million. We are projecting total revenue for 2021 of $680.5 million-$691 million, increased from our prior guidance of $660.5 million-$671.5 million, which includes estimated hardware and other revenue of $235 million-$245 million. We continue to monitor issues around a global chip shortage, which did not impact our revenue in this quarter, but could impact our revenue this year depending on how the supply shortages work out. We estimate that non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA for 2021 will be between $124 million-$130 million compared to our prior guidance of $120 million-$130 million. We have factored in more travel and trade show expenses in the back half of 2021, as these expenses have been curtailed with the pandemic. We also anticipate that the bulk of our 2021 headcount additions will be in the third quarter of this year. Non-GAAP net income for 2021 is projected to be $85.6 million-$90 million, or $1.63-$1.72 per diluted share, up from our prior guidance of $84 million-$90 million or $1.61-$1.72 per diluted share. We currently project our non-GAAP tax rate for 2021 to remain at 21% under current tax rules. EPS is based on an estimate of 52.4 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding. We expect full year 2021 stock-based compensation expense of $40 million-$43 million. In summary, we are pleased how well our service providers and internal teams continue to perform during these challenging times. We are focused on executing on our business strategy and investing in our growth opportunities while continuing to deliver profitable growth. With that, operator, please open the call for Q&A. Thank you, sir. Please stand by while we compile the Q&A roster. I show our first question comes from the line of Sterling Auty from JPMorgan. Please go ahead. Yeah, thanks. Hi, guys. You mentioned on the international side, the continuing pandemic. I'm just kind of curious, with U.K. set to open up more fully, what's the visibility that you have and improvement that we might see out of the international region in the June and then September quarters? This is Steve Trundle speaking. I don't expect to see a lot of movement between now and June, meaning we're running at sort of the level we probably ran at maybe a little better than Q1. I mean, England obviously is a little ahead of other parts of Europe and certainly ahead of Latin America right now. I would also say we're seeing a little bit more of a supply chain stress globally or internationally with some of the more esoteric parts than what we see here in North America. I think when we get probably into the third quarter, maybe even the fourth, we start to see that clear, would be my guess. Then what we're trying to do right now is really work with service providers and position for those markets to be more robust next year. We're thankful that North America has remained pretty strong. That makes sense. Then maybe one quick follow-up. You talked about the renewal rates perhaps returning to historical norms. Just what have you baked into the guidance for the rest of the year? Yeah, people basically stopped moving this time last year. We had a higher than expected revenue renewal rate, and I think came in at 95%. I think what we've baked in for the remainder of the year is the midpoint of our traditional range, which is 92%-94%. That's right. All right. That's fair. Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. Sure. Thank you. Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Adam Tindle from Raymond James. Please go ahead. Okay, thanks. Good afternoon. I wanted to start on the SaaS and license revenue guidance. For the full year 2021, it was raised by a few million more than the Q1 beat. I'm wondering what you're seeing to imply that continued strength in the outer quarters versus just raising by the $2.5 million or so that you beat by. I just give the context, I know it's splitting hairs a little bit, we typically view you as conservative on guidance. I'm less focused on the numbers, more on the qualitative statement you're making. Maybe just unpack the areas you're seeing momentum, what got you comfortable to carry through some additional upside, given, as you just mentioned, retention rate is expected to come down. I'm not sure what the offsets were. Right. Good question. The things that give us confidence are, a good chunk of the Q1 beat came from an accelerated creation rate. Those subscribers, not all of it, but a good chunk, we don't anticipate them going anywhere. That's a positive. We don't want to get out of control though and extrapolate for the entire year that the current creation rates and kind of sort of slightly above expectation performance will continue forever. We do have some headwinds with regard to activities, which thus far we've managed effectively, but in the supply chain, the global markets are still somewhat uncertain. We are seeing, as I said in my prepared remarks, commercial beginning to pick back up, so that could give us a nice potential tailwind. The EnergyHub business is also strong right now, as I noted in my Fair remark. There are plenty of things that look solid. At this juncture in the year, if you have experience with us, you know that we're not going to go crazy on raising guidance, that the guide we provide is the foundation for our operating budget. We absorb some of it, some of the Q1, and then push some of that into the rest of the year. Those are some of the things that we're seeing, what I just commented on. I would say, too, we are seeing good video analytics pickup as Steve talked about. Yeah That helps inch up the ARPU a little bit as well. Of course, most of it is really coming from new subscribers being added, but it is nice to see the strong video and video analytics continued attachment rates increasing. Yeah. Got it. Yep. That makes sense. Just as a follow-up, cash continues to increase. Your business is so predictable and durable, particularly on the SaaS and license side. Steve V, maybe you could touch on your view of optimal capital structure and timing to get to that level. Steve T, if you could follow up with priorities for use of cash as you move to that optimal capital structure. Well, yeah. Good question. Certainly on the optimal cash, we like to have cash, and we couldn't pass up the great terms, the 0% coupon bonds. We were able to raise $500 million gross. We have run the company on a cash flow positive basis. If you look at this quarter, we generated a very good amount of free cash flow and more than almost double last year's cash flow. I think we have quite a bit of dry powder here. Feel very good about our balance sheet, our cash position. I would say that we'd like to run with a net cash position without getting into too many details, but I think we certainly have a very strong balance sheet. We've continued to have a strong balance sheet over the years. With this raise, it gives us even more, if you will, dry powder. Yeah. In terms of use of the proceeds or what we're looking to do, I think we just want to be postured for when the right opportunity comes along to act upon it. We have an active corporate development team that's sourcing various opportunities. We also have at least two initiatives internally that we may decide to deploy capital into. We haven't made that decision yet, we're watching the market right now. We're watching, as everyone is, valuations pretty carefully and trying to sort of, in a way, I think, hope that some of the SPAC activity diminishes. When we see the right thing come along, we're well-positioned for the next two or three years to be smart and judicious about continuing to build the business through the occasional acquisition. If you had to rank consolidating more core residential opportunities versus expanding in these growth areas like EnergyHub, would one rank higher than the other? I think that our internal engine is really strong on the residential side already. We're scaling R&D there at a level that no one else is. I would expect us to consolidate residential activity organically for the most part through time. I think when we look at, we're not going to say no to any single category. The category is only one part of the equation. Management is a big part of the equation, the health of the business and other attributes. I'd say generally our bias is probably to look at opportunities that are in areas where we may not be as strong organically. Makes sense. Thank you both. Thanks. Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Matt Pfau from William Blair. Please go ahead. Hi, guys. Thanks for taking my questions, and nice job on the results. Wanted to ask about the better-than-expected creation rate that you guys have seen over the past several quarters. How do you expect that to be impacted as U.S. economies continue to reopen? I guess what I'm wondering is that sort of a creation rate a factor of people being stuck at home and thus doing home improvement projects, or are there some other dynamics there that's creating that creation rate? Yeah, Matt, I don't know that we have a crystal ball on that, to be honest with you. We have seen ongoing momentum the last couple of quarters. We think some of that is actually a positive contribution from COVID, people being at home, able to take appointments, doing projects, the shift to the suburbs. Some of those trends are going to be ongoing. I know that when we model things, though, at the moment, we're not modeling in that trajectory as a permanent trajectory or permanent level of momentum. We're looking at where we were sort of pre-COVID trajectories at that point in terms of sales velocity in North America and anticipating some regression to that what we'd call more normal trajectory. That's kind of the way we view it. We could be wrong, and it may be that I wouldn't even say that's our belief. That's just how we model it. It could be that the shift to more homeownership and to some shift out of the urban centers is going to be an ongoing trend for the next five, six years, and we're early days in it. We just don't know for sure. Okay. Got it. That makes sense. Just to follow up on the retention rate, just sort of wondering how the increased uptake of video and video analytics and I guess smart home features as well impact the retention rate. Is there any impact there from customers perhaps making more investment in their security system and being more engaged? Yeah. It's a very good question. I think there definitely is. We've been at the high side of our anticipated range for some time, a range that we established 92%-94% retention. That's been pretty strong for some period of time. I think particularly video analytics, in the Q1, the attach rate of analytics on new video installations was over 70%. Customers are getting a much better experience when they're getting that type of intelligence in their video alerts and in what they're viewing. If you're having a good experience, if you're impressed with the technology, if it's making your life easier, I'd like to believe that you're more durable as a customer. I do think your point as well, which is, as customers see more areas of benefit from the smart home and as they deploy more types of technology, whether it be video or the Smart Water Valve or some of the energy management attributes, I think there becomes a bit more of a dependency and the likelihood of that customer not being satisfied with their experience and therefore potentially attriting is diminished. I do think there's an ongoing sort of slight positive trend there that will help us. Great. Thanks, guys. Appreciate you taking my questions. Sure. Thank you. Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Darren Aftahi from ROTH Capital Partners. Please go ahead. Hey, this is Dylan on for Darren. Thanks for taking the questions. You talked a little bit about commercial starting to pick back up. Could you provide any color on maybe what percentage of that is like a new inquiry versus someone who might have you spoken to maybe pre-COVID and had to pause due to just sort of the shutdown? Boy. Off the top of my head, I don't know that I have good data on whether the new customers are ones we had spoken to. I guess I could go off of an anecdotal belief, which is, I think it's a mix of both. When I talk to our salespeople, and especially in the larger enterprise segment, there were a lot of opportunities that were brewing and then various entities just sort of shut down in terms of access to their facilities during COVID and at least especially the early parts of COVID until really towards the end of the year. Now they're open back up. I would imagine a decent amount of the uptick is coming from, especially on the larger enterprise side, coming from places where we already knew about the opportunity. That said, the number of sites that we're adding, as an example, on the OpenEye side of the business, I believe they've added, if I remember correctly, probably 9,000 new sites in the last 12 months. That's a pretty meaningful jump. Maybe more than that. I'll have to look at the data point. My recollection is we probably added 30% growth to the number of sites that are installed. I think that's coming not just from people that we were already in discussions with beforehand, but from some smaller enterprises that saw an opportunity, while their business was potentially closed, if it's a restaurant or otherwise, to make some modifications and act a little bit more like a homeowner, do that during COVID. I think that activity should continue. Got it. Thank you. As a follow-up, I guess this is sort of similar, but with the residential market, and then some of the housing market trends, were you seeing a mix of more new accounts or sort of people who already had used Alarm.com for maybe their primary home and now are adding it to maybe a secondary home? No. The latter is always occurring, but it's a much smaller slice of the business than people that are moving into new homes. I think the majority is coming from new homes, we're aided by new home construction and then by people who are getting a first system for their home, and doing that for the first time. A very small fraction, I would definitely say less than 10% of new customer adds are coming in the residential side from people with multiple properties. On the commercial side, if you lock down a business that has multiple sites and you get a few sites and you do a decent job on those sites, then that can become the gift that keeps on giving, and you probably see a higher preponderance of the commercial installs being follow-on work for businesses that already have used your technology in one location. There would be a higher percentage, but certainly not over half, and my guess would be not over 35%. Great. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Mike Latimore from Northland Capital. Please go ahead. Hi. This is Aditya on behalf of Mike Latimore. Could you talk about how much did the other SaaS contribute in 4Q? Sure. Do you mean in Q1 when you're saying 4Q? In Q1, the other segment had $6.1. 4Q, yes. $6.1 million of SaaS revenue for Q1, which was up 35% year-over-year. All right. Do you expect it to continue at the same rate, or you expect it to accelerate in 2021? What we talked about really is with EnergyHub doing very well and with the EV programs, the longer term certainly is very positive for the other segment. We also have PointCentral, and we have the Smart Water Valve+Meter. If you look at the other segment, there are seasonality points there. There's timing differences. Typically, Q4 is the stronger quarter. For example, in Q4, the other segment contributed $7.8 million in SaaS revenue, because in Q4, we do get a benefit from the energy savings in the summer programs. Typically, Q1, that's a seasonally slower quarter. We do see positive trends here with the other segment. A lot of new programs there with EnergyHub, with the Smart Water Valve+Meter, which is a great product. It really is a lifesaver in some cases for homeowners and in businesses possibly as well, to be able to protect your home from leaks and water breaks. We see quite a bit of opportunity there. Again, there's different quarters and different seasonality points there. Typically Q1, again, being the seasonally slower quarter. All right. Maybe any estimate on how much OpenEye might contribute for this year? We haven't broken out OpenEye in the past. I would say that we did talk last year that OpenEye was more impacted by COVID, as you would think with commercial. We did see improvement in the fourth quarter, and we saw again improvement in the Q1. It's trending quite well. We're also encouraged with the growth of SaaS revenue for OpenEye, which is still fairly small, but we have a program now since we acquired OpenEye to really grow the SaaS. It'll take some time, but it's growing at a very good rate. It's a small number still, but we're encouraged to see the growth of OpenEye in the difficult environment with commercial, and we're excited about the future for OpenEye as things open up and commercial businesses go back. We're seeing good positive trends there. All right. Fine. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Brian Ruttenbur from Imperial Capital. Please go ahead. Yes, thank you very much. Great quarter. A couple quick questions. First of all, on shooter detection, either indoor or uncertain can you talk a little bit about what kind of traction you're seeing so far? You just acquired them recently. I know you don't break out specific acquisitions, are they on track? Are they growing with the total group? Can you talk about any trends that you're seeing in that area? With Shooter Detections, I think we completed that acquisition in December right in the midst of some of the COVID period. I actually didn't get a chance to visit them until the last probably five, six weeks. The trend lines there are, we have seen that there, I think, have been a little more exposed to some of the enterprise commercial customers that at the moment, very large customers, entities that have massive office complexes, for example, and that are trying to determine what percentage of their workforce will be coming back to work, how much of those facilities to keep, that sort of thing. That's been a bit of a soft point. The positive's been on the institutional side. There's traction, and the pipeline's very good. I think they've signed some marquee names that they've added. I would say it's slightly below where I would ideally like to see it tracking in the Q1. That's 1 quarter in. The pipeline of activity is probably at or above what I would expect, and we think that, unfortunately, every time we have one of these horrible instances of violence in society, that their pipeline just gets bigger. There are more people interested in how do I protect my employees, and how do I keep my employees safe, and what can I do to, as much as possible, mitigate workplace violence. We expect over time that business will be. You have to remember, it's a pretty small business, so we're investing in it pretty heavily. Have made a couple of good hires in the Q1, and we'll really be working, I think, to help them turn the crank on increasing the distributability of the technology they've created. Okay. Has there been anything at the school level from the federal agencies and all the stimulus that you see adding to that pipeline? The answer there is I don't actually know. If I've been told, I don't remember whether the feds have simulated that. I think we've discussed it. I am aware in my last discussion with them that in their business, on the institutional side, a lot of the times the state approves a technology for adoption by all of the schools. Okay or by all of the courts in a given state. We are seeing various states moving to approve the technology for use in certain circumstances, whether that be schools, high schools, elementaries. Courts, et cetera. Whether there will be stimulus with that or not, I'm not positive, but there is activity. Great. Last question real quick, just timing on the commercial recovery. Just from your gut, do you see it happening in 2021, in terms of that recovery? Yeah. From my gut feel would be that we're gonna continue to see commercial gain strength throughout this year, and by the end of the year, would see more than likely commercial performing about where we expected it to be. That's my gut feel. Maybe even a little above, if there's some pent-up demand out there. Great. Thank you. Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Jack Vander Aarde from Maxim Group. Please go ahead. Great. Hey, guys. Nice results. Hey, Jack. Thanks for taking my questions. Maybe a question for either Steve T or Steve V. Either of you can probably answer this, maybe on the recent trends you're seeing in terms of recent residential subscriber installations within the U.S. Are there any particular states or regional areas that have maybe surprised you, whether in terms of outperforming or underperforming relative to what you expected, also maybe relative to where those states were performing last year? Yeah. I would say generally that it's been less about probably any particular state. Traditionally, we've always been, and our service providers in the southern parts of the U.S. have been bigger, typically. There's just a higher market penetration in places like Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Texas, all of the southern markets, than there is typically up north. That's not to say you don't have penetration everywhere. What's probably more normal or what we've seen has been less about state by state, but more about tier 2 cities versus urban centers and the level of installs that are going into suburbs and what some might refer to as tier 2 cities, as we've seen some de-urbanization. Our service providers who service those markets have been particularly strong, and that's been not really unique to any given state, but kind of broad. I will say, one example that just sort of pops up in terms of a state, I should say, is our service providers in Florida are indicating they're way too busy. It's really popping, and they can't keep up with demand. That's one that I know of where they're particularly busy. I think there is some migration to Florida right now. Generally, it's been more about urban versus suburban or tier 2. Okay, great. No, that's helpful. Maybe a question for Steve Valenzuela. Regarding the other segment, revenue growth was strong again. I think it was up nearly 35%, if I heard that correctly, year-over-year. Can you talk about maybe the underlying drivers of that business strength in terms of the actual specific businesses or subsidiaries that contribute to that? Maybe name a couple other than just EnergyHub. Certainly EnergyHub is a big driver, and we've talked about PointCentral being impacted a little bit more by the COVID, although the vacation rental has picked up a bit. We also have the Smart Water Valve+Meter, which is a new product. We think there's a lot of opportunity there as well. Within the other segment, EnergyHub is really a main driver, of course, of the growth, supported by the other businesses as well. They're the largest, I would say, the fastest grower in the other segment. Okay, cool. Maybe as a follow-up, just sticking to the subsidiaries then. You mentioned PointCentral. I saw recently they rolled out this new offering that caters to the short-term rental managers with under 25 properties, which was a first, I believe, for that business. Right. Can you maybe just talk about what that does? Does that expand the TAM opportunity from what you guys initially anticipated? Was this always kind of part of the plan, but it was just starting with the larger property managers first, and now you're working your way down the ladder? Well, it definitely expands the TAM. The percentage level I'm not certain of, but it hasn't made sense economically from a cost of sales standpoint to spend a lot of time up until now on property managers that are managing 10 vacation units, when you have property managers out there that are managing hundreds or thousands. In partnership with uncertain we're gonna target some of the smaller ones. In terms of the exact impact on TAM, I really don't know. I just would say that the vacation rental market has been. PointCentral serves multi-family and vacation rental. I'd say vacation rental has been the stronger segment of the two over the last six months and a place where we add a lot of value. We're trying to just drive deeper into that segment with that new partnership. Okay, great. Thank you. That's it for me, guys. Thanks. Thank you. Thanks. Thank you. This concludes today's Q&A session and the conference call. Thank you for participating. You may all disconnect.
