Connect Your Lock to Hospitable
Step 1: Set Up Your Lock Within a Supported Lock App
Before connecting to Hospitable, you'll need to set up your supported locks in a supported lock app (Schlage, SmartThings, August, Yale, Nuki, or IglooHome). Hospitable offers full integration with these smart locks, enabling features like automated door code creation and distribution for guests.
Step 2: Connect Your Account to Hospitable
❗ Important: Before you connect you must disconnect your app from any other service that can create codes for the lock (including Airbnb).
In Hospitable:
Go to Devices
Select Setup
Click on the Connect a device account button
Select the app you want to connect to Hospitable. You must log in to your account with your login credentials, not SSO via your Google Account.
You will be asked to match each device to your Hospitable properties. (Optional) Click skip If you do not want to match a device yet.
Step 3: Customize Settings in the Lock Matching Modal
You have full control over your property's security settings. In the lock matching modal, you can customize various settings to fit your specific needs.
You can edit:
Matched Property: You can easily change the property that is matched to the lock for seamless integration.
PIN Code Length: The default PIN length will be determined by the lock's supported range. We always default to the minimum accepted value. For example, if the lock supports a range of 4-8 length, we will default to 4. If it's 6-8, we will default to 6. If the range is fixed at 5, we will default to 5.
Low Battery Threshold: For notification purposes, the low battery threshold is set at 30% by default. You can adjust this threshold to receive notifications at a different battery level.
Guest Access: Guest access is enabled by default, allowing you to create reservation codes for guests. If you disable guest access (for example, for a cleaning supply closet), we will stop creating reservation codes. If you switch from Guest access disabled to enabled, we will re-run code onboarding and reservation reconciliation for added security.
With these customizable settings in the lock matching modal, you can tailor your property's security features to meet your specific requirements.
Step 4: Add the %smartlock_code% Short Code to your Check-in Message
In order for us to communicate the code created to your guests, you will need to add the short code %smartlock_code% to a messaging rule. You can insert this in any scheduled message, after a booking is confirmed.
We recommend waiting to include this short code closer to their check-in time for the best experience for you and your guest.
