Urgency Levels
Three urgency levels let residents instantly understand how important an announcement is - no reading required.
Routine notices - package deliveries, amenity hours, community events, and general updates.
Planned interruptions - elevator maintenance, scheduled water shutoffs, pest control, construction noise.
Time-sensitive situations - emergency water shutoff, safety notices, unexpected access restrictions.

Key capabilities
How buildings use it
A property manager posts a "Water Shutoff - Saturday 9am–2pm" notice marked Urgent. Within 30 seconds it appears on every lobby and elevator screen. After Saturday, it expires automatically.
A package room notice appears every Monday morning and auto-expires Sunday evening - set once, runs every week without anyone touching it.
A property management company with 12 buildings pushes a single portfolio-wide maintenance notice that appears on all buildings' lobby screens simultaneously.
