Thoughts on Host Tools
Hi. Tried to search specifically for this but wasn't having any luck though I think I've ready it in here before. Does anyone use Host Tools? I started a free demo yesterday. It seems like it "should be" good with some good features for the price (specifically I'm looking for an easy way to sync pricing across platforms including my website). But it feels a bit wonky, specifically with Booking.com. Had some issues connecting VRBO at first, too. Not sure if I have to pay for the more advanced features for it to work better but want to get other thoughts before I start syncing data and have to turn back.
Thanks!

It’s not the most simple task unfortunately - definitely requires some technical skill.
It requires using a home automation platform (I use hubitat), creating an API, and creating some rules within the automation platform.
I’ve been meaning to write a blog post on how to do it - I’ll eventually get around to doing it. @Patricia Andriolo-Bull
