Whether you are a seasoned Airbnb host or just starting out with holiday home rental, the one thing that can hold you back from expanding is the logistics! Adding another property to your offering can mean doubling up on the resources to deploy – especially staff to manage guest meet and greet, housekeeping and property maintenance.

The answer to these is a simple upgrade of your door lock to a smart one. Today, we look at the Smart Locks for Holiday Homes in the Oji Smart ecosystem that fit perfectly into the holiday home rental system.

The locks featured here all work with the Oji Smart App ecosystem function-packed yet user-friendly app. The app allows the set administrators to share or revoke access as well as manage or many locks from the app. A full web-based management system is a powerful tool that helps you manage and track access to your property. If you own multiple properties, the web system can also be integrated with your BMS system.

Multiple access options are available, with the most notable being the eKey and temporary code, which feature in all 3 locks. The guest need not have wifi or mobile data or even the need to download the app to get access to their reserved property. Simply using the code received by SMS, Email or Whatsapp will allow them entry.
