Smart lock recommendations?

[Maurice D.]

Hi,

I'm prepping a home for short term (corporate) furnished rental.  any recommendations on smart / keypad locks so I can automate the entry process? 

I like the August  smart lock, but I'm not versed in smart locks yet..

Thanks!

I shopped and shopped all the smart locks out there and Igloohome was it! Here's why**:

• integrates with Airbnb. Automatically generates a code for each booking that starts and expires based on the reservation details. 
• Sends a welcome email as soon the booking is accepted and then sends the pin code based on your settings (I have it set for 1 hour before check-in)
• you can create a duration pin code (start and end date) remotely from any where in the world
• does not depend on WIFI to work whatsoever
• and it has a "jump start" features so that if it ever runs out of batteries you can still get in the door by placing a 9v battery up to side of the display. 
• no subscription fees!
• I have been using them for 1 year and absolutely zero functionality issues. Well the sensor fell off the door jam and I needed to use superglue instead of the adhesive it came with. Very minor. I have 4 of these locks and no other issues.

August: The very idea of asking a guest to download an app to enter the vacation stay is way too burdensome for me. Traveling is hectic enough. I am all about smooth arrival.

Schlage: Must be connected to wifi for a lot of functionality. It doesn't automatically integrate with airbnb. You can cannot create a duration code remotely (a code that will expire).

**Caveat... even tho Igloohome is amazing for Airbnb, as I am expanding to more and more booking platforms I will need to reevaluate the best smart lock for my growing business and I will look for one that can integrate with one of these home automation tools to be able to automate check-in across more booking channels than Airbnb.
