From CNET: Airbnb and HomeAway work with August Smart Locks to manage guest access for vacation rentals. Today, August announced in a blog post that property owners can now allow August to automatically generate access codes and deliver them to short-term rental guests.
Now, when someone makes a reservation for an Airbnb property and the property is equipped with an August Smart Lock and August Smart Keypad, August will generate and deliver an access code for the dates and times of the reservation.
If you're an Airbnb host, you'll need to link your Airbnb and August accounts in the August app. The Airbnb and August automatic PIN generation require an August Smart Keypad and August Smart Lock. If you'd like to remotely provide a PIN, you'll also need the August Connect Wi-Fi Bridge. If you have the necessary August hardware, you can choose from two ways to share access to your short-term rental:
- A custom PIN for your August Smart Keypad that August automatically generates when the reservation is made
- Mobile phone access via the August app
