Yale and August’s New Integration with Airbnb Elevates Smart Hospitality Aug 19, 2024

Yale and August’s New Integration with Airbnb Elevates Smart Hospitality 

Yale and August are enhancing the vacation rental experience by simplifying the check-in and check-out process with an all new integration in the Airbnb app. This integration makes our smart locks even smarter to help make rental access seamless, especially as summer vacations are in full swing.  

Streamlined Check-in Process 

As an Airbnb host, have you ever had a guest encounter an issue accessing your property while arriving for their stay? Or, as a guest, have you arrived at an Airbnb rental and wished for a simpler way to enter? With August and Yale smart locks, these hassles are a thing of the past. Unique door codes, now automatically generated and sent to guests via the Airbnb app, eliminate the need for physical key exchanges or complicated lockbox setups. Guests can simply arrive at the property, enter their code provided in the Airbnb app, and walk right in, giving both guests and hosts a sense of control and peace of mind.

Security You Can Count On

Hosts can manage their guests’ unique entry codes remotely, so they can easily adjust for early check-in or late checkout right from the Airbnb app, no matter where they are. Now, Airbnb hosts using compatible Yale and August smart locks can feel confident about who is entering their property and when, even if they’re not onsite. For guests, this helps provide assurance that their belongings are safeguarded by our advanced smart lock technology when they’re out exploring.

A Seamless Experience

The new Airbnb app integration allows hosts to benefit from a range of compatible Yale and August smart locks, including best-sellers like Yale Assure Lock 2, and for retrofit options, Yale Approach and August Wi-Fi Smart Lock. Exclusive product bundles are available for hosts, including a Wi-Fi Connect bridge for longer battery life.

August and Yale’s partnership with Airbnb helps make the process of managing and staying in an Airbnb listing smarter, more secure, and more enjoyable. For property owners looking to simplify access to their listing, August and Yale smart locks offer a smart solution that meets the needs of today’s travelers.
