Airbnb guests and hosts benefit from
convenient Schlage access code integration with Airbnb app
MISSISSAUGA, ON, March 5,
2024 /CNW/ - Schlage®, a leading provider of home
security and access solutions for over a century, is
announcing a smart lock integration with Airbnb. Airbnb Hosts
with listings in the US and Canada
now have seamless access to Schlage's industry-leading Encode
family of Smart WiFi Locks directly within the Airbnb app,
improving reservation and accessibility management while
simplifying entry and exit logistics for guests.
The new Schlage smart lock integration grants Airbnb Hosts
control of the Schlage Encode™ Smart WiFi Deadbolt, Schlage Encode
Plus™ Smart WiFi Deadbolt2 and the Schlage
Encode™ Smart WiFi Lever within the Airbnb app. Hosts can now
streamline the check-in and check-out process with automatically
generated access codes for guests, removing any need to hide keys,
meet in person or create unique codes for each visitor manually.
Access codes will be shared with the guests at the time of
booking—codes are only active during their trip—and are
automatically deactivated after checkout. Hosts can extend a
guest's reservation as needed in the Airbnb app, and the code will
automatically update to remain active through the updated
reservation length.
"Smart locks are uniquely suited to make life easier for people
who rent their property on platforms like Airbnb because they
eliminate the need for exchanging physical keys. They provide a
level of ease for both Hosts and guests, even when reservations
need to be modified or canceled, and are generally safer than
traditional door locks," said Tim
Eskew, senior manager of IoT Partnerships at Schlage. "The
added security, convenience and peace of mind will be a huge
benefit to Airbnb Hosts with listings in the U.S. and Canada."
Both Airbnb guests and Hosts benefit from the convenience that
Schlage locks provide. The new experience is now available to all
Hosts within the Airbnb app. The Schlage Encode family of products
are well suited to support Hosts looking to take advantage of this
new automation experience within the Airbnb app. With a simple
installation process, long battery life and secure and reliable
WiFi connection, Schlage locks provide guests with convenient
access to Airbnb homes. With advanced notice of property entry
requirements and codes, guests will know exactly how and when to
enter a property.
