Channel Manager and Smart Lock integration

[Sheena R Roth]

We are converting some long-term rentals over to short-term right now. We are choosing both a smart lock and channel manager. We'd like the channel manager to integrate with the smart lock for generating codes automatically for guests.

So far, our top choice for locks is Erentallock (because it doesn't rely on wifi and doesn't have an ongoing subscription charge) but the website isn't very clear on how it may be able to integrate with a Channel Manager such as Your Porter App. 

Anyone have any experience in this area? Just looking for feedback on if it can be done and how smooth the integration is.

Thanks!

If you go with a good smart lock such as Schlage or kwilset that supports zwave you can use a SmartThings hub to control the locks.  Then you purchase an app called rental lock Automator from Rboys and it connects to your channel manager.  Sets and removes codes automatically and works like a champ.
