Tired of coordinating with guests for key handoff, waiting for late arrivals, and lost and misplaced keys? Keyless property access is the answer, and homeit is the perfect solution to make this a reality.
Here’s everything you need to know about homeit, our newest integration partner.
What is homeit?
Homeit is the ideal solution for managing keyless access to your vacation rental property. Using its multisided platform, you can instantly enable secure entry for guests and service providers without the need for physical keys—no matter your property type.
The result? Enhanced convenience and quality of life for you and your guests alike.
What benefits does homeit offer?
Offer keyless access
Homeit’s primary benefit is, of course, the ability to offer keyless access to your vacation rental. With just the tap of your finger, you can unlock your property’s door from anywhere.
However, homeit makes managing keyless access even easier: Grant temporary entry codes or links for your guests and permanent ones for your team so everyone has access when they need it. You can even connect with your building’s intercom system to grant access to the front door.
What’s more, homeit gives you total visibility into who has accessed your property and when, so you’re never blindsided.
Choose the solution that works best for you
With homeit, you don’t have to worry about whether your device will work with your existing lock, door type, or building. Homeit offers solutions that adapt to your existing setup so you can minimize installation hassle and get keyless entry set up as soon as possible.
For example, with homeit you can expect:
- The choice between retrofit smart locks and digital locks
- A comprehensive catalog of solutions to cater to every type of door
- Compatibility with other brands of smart locks, such as Nuki* and TTLock
- The ability to connect with your intercom system to grant access to the front door
Not sure which option is best for you? No worries—homeit offers all the support you need to make sure you choose the perfect smart lock for your property.
*Those using a Nuki lock will need to purchase and install a homeit BOX.
Integrate with Lodgify and OTAs
Homeit streamlines the management of keyless access by integrating with Lodgify, Airbnb, and Booking.com.
Thanks to this integration, Lodgify users can create a custom automatic response and use the {{KeyCode}} placeholder to automatically send codes to guests, making for a seamless check-in experience. There’s no need to worry about remembering to send this message in time—homeit has you covered.
Increase security
One of the primary benefits of offering keyless access is increased security. After all, you don’t need to worry about lost, misplaced, or stolen keys.
But homeit enhances your security even further by ensuring only those who should have access can enter your property. Digital keys are tied to reservations, automatically expiring once the booking ends. Have a canceled booking? The cancellation will automatically trigger key deactivation.
Improve the guest experience
All of these features add up to one very important benefit: an enhanced guest experience.
Your guests won’t have to worry about coordinating with you for key handoff, getting to the property at a certain time, or being locked out: They can expect a seamless check-in experience as soon as (and whenever) they arrive. And because their unique entry code or link will be shared with them automatically, they don’t even need to download an app for entry.
What better way to ensure a positive trip—and guest review?
How much does homeit cost?
You can take advantage of all the above benefits for just €10/month (plus VAT in the European Union) per door.
