Keyless Check-In, Calm Neighbors, Protected Property
Give every guest a code that works only for their stay, keep an eye on the exterior, and stop paying to cool a home between bookings.
Common challenges
What Hosts and Managers Deal With
Key handoffs and lockouts
Lost keys, late arrivals, and lockbox codes that get shared far beyond the booking.
Parties and unauthorized guests
Problems usually start at the door and in the driveway, often late at night.
Waste and damage between stays
HVAC left running and leaks that go unnoticed until the next guest arrives.
Designed around booking-platform camera rules
Airbnb prohibits indoor security cameras in listings and requires hosts to disclose outdoor cameras before booking, and Vrbo also restricts surveillance devices inside properties. We design exterior-only video and help you document device locations for disclosure. Always confirm each platform’s current policy.
Capabilities
Everything a Smooth Stay Needs at the Door
Unique codes for every stay
Each guest gets a code active only from check-in to check-out. Cleaners and maintenance get their own scheduled codes.
- Codes scheduled to booking dates
- Separate cleaner and vendor codes
- Entry history per stay
- Integration with booking tools where the lock platform supports it
Exterior video and arrivals
A video doorbell and exterior cameras show arrivals, late-night activity, and extra vehicles — useful context when a stay doesn’t match the booking.
- Doorbell and driveway coverage
- After-hours person and vehicle alerts
- Clip history for disputes
- No indoor cameras
Between-stay energy and leak protection
Hold eco temperatures between bookings, pre-condition before check-in, and get leak and freeze alerts when no one is there.
- Eco mode between stays
- Pre-cool or pre-heat before arrival
- Thermostat limits during stays
- Leak and freeze sensors

FAQ
Common Questions
Can lock codes be created automatically from bookings?
Some lock platforms integrate with booking and channel-management software. We’ll confirm compatibility with your tools; otherwise codes are scheduled in the app.
What if the Wi-Fi goes down?
Smart locks keep working with codes stored on the lock. Supported platforms can use a cellular-connected hub so alerts and remote management continue.
Can you put cameras inside?
No. Major booking platforms prohibit or restrict indoor cameras, and we design exterior-only video for short-term rentals.
Do you manage multiple listings?
Yes. All of your homes can be managed in one app, grouped by market or owner.
