Introduction to Smart Devices:
Smart devices are internet-connected tools that allow users to control and monitor functions remotely, offering increased security, efficiency, and convenience. In the short-term rental industry, these devices—particularly smart locks—are transforming property management by simplifying access control for both guests and property managers.
What Can Smart Devices Do?
Smart locks provide secure, keyless entry, allowing guests to access properties without physical keys. They support:
Remote Access Control: Unlock or lock doors from anywhere.
Automated Check-In/Check-Out: Set locks to change access codes for new guests, ensuring security between stays.
Access Monitoring: Track who enters and exits the property in real-time, offering an extra layer of security and guest accountability.
Customizable Access Codes: Issue unique access codes for each guest and even assign different codes for cleaners or maintenance staff.
Wide Integration with Trusted Brands:
Our smart lock service integrates with a third-party provider (Seam) that supports most popular smart lock brands, ensuring flexibility and reliability for users. This broad compatibility allows you to select the best lock solution for your specific needs without being tied to a single brand.
Connecting Smart Devices to a PMS:
When smart locks are connected to a Property Management System (PMS), they enable automated guest access based on booking details, streamlining check-ins and enhancing the guest experience. With PMS integration:
Guest access codes are generated and scheduled automatically for each stay.
Check-in and check-out times sync with lock settings, improving efficiency.
Maintenance and cleaning staff can be assigned temporary codes, making property upkeep easier to manage.
By leveraging smart lock technology, your team can provide a seamless, secure experience for guests while reducing the logistical load on property managers in the short-term rental industry.
