Keyless entry for Air B&B rentals
Hello, trying to get an idea on keyless entry people are using to manage their vacation rental properties.
I’m looking for something I can control remotely that also has a temporary passcode features that I can provide to guests.
I’ve been into a few and I’m considering the August Pro smart lock.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thank you!

@Mark Futalan I also use Schlage wireless deadbolts and door locks with Z-Wave and Nexia bridge setup. They can be a little bit complicated to set completely up but once it's up and ready they are pretty much bulletproof. I like to use the manual deadbolt option (meaning guests enter the code and have to turn deadbolt) as the battery last much longer with that setup. However, with the automatic deadbolt, you can remotely lock the house if you have a guest forget to lock up.
I have automated pre-stay emails and the code is always just the last 4 digits of the phone number on file and it's only active during their booking. Has worked great for me for over 3 years now.
Cheers!
