Primary Aims: * Assess whether asthma control in patients enrolled in the intervention arm improved in comparison to the control arm through the (ACT) measurement tool. * Assess healthcare utilization (asthma-related ED visits and hospitalizations, asthma-related oral corticosteroid use) obtained through electronic medical record and parent report. Secondary Aims: Investigators will use parent-report surveys of the following psycho-social outcome measures: * Days missed from school due to asthma; 2) pediatric asthma-related quality of life (PACQLQ); and 3) Parental Asthma Management Self-Efficacy (PAMSE). * Enhance parental management through improved inhaler use. The investigators will use the Propeller Sensor Platform (referenced as Remote Health Management Platform) to allow parents to track their child's ICS and SABA inhaler use daily. The Platform also will have specific educational messaging to help parents and their children achieve adherence to their prescribed plan. This constant feedback and reinforcement may lead to improved asthma control therefore reducing frequency and severity of asthma exacerbations. The investigators will also be assessing the factors associated with the feasibility and sustainability of the Propeller Sensor Platform by observing trends in utilization. Utilization and drop-off will be measured by monitoring use of the inhalers and periodic surveys of families. * Improve management by the healthcare team. The investigators will use the Remote Health Management Platform to integrate inhaler use data into a web portal that the physician's office can access. Through the development of this interface, the Propeller Sensor Platform will be able to provide inhaler use feedback to healthcare teams. Types of feedback: * Emergency Management: data on inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) and short-acting beta-agonist (SABA) use * Long-term Management: data on ICS and SABA use. This interface will include data on both ICS and SABA inhaler use. The interface will also have flags to notify the office of under or overuse of inhalers, with a protocol in place to reach out to patients. The investigators will also be assessing the factors associated with the feasibility and sustainability of the Remote Health Management Platform by the healthcare team. This will be done by weekly contact with the healthcare team, rapid cycle improvement of the web portal, and written assessments.
