You can now connect your Hospitable.com account to integrate directly with your Schlage, SmartThings, August, Yale, Nuki, and IglooHome app-connected smart locks.

Set up your lock within a supported lock app

First make sure your supported locks are set up and already connected in a supported lock app (Schlage, SmartThings, August, Yale, Nuki, or IglooHome) lock app before connecting them to your Hospitable account.

Once your device is connected to Hospitable.com and matched to a property, Hospitable will ensure that the codes for all your future guests are created. No pre-existing codes will be removed or altered.

Connect your account to Hospitable

Before you connect you must disconnect your app from any other service that can create codes for the lock (including Airbnb).

Then, in Hospitable.com:

  1. Go to Devices

  2. Select Setup

  3. Click on the Connect button

  4. Select the app you want to connect >> You must login to your account with your login credentials and not SSO via your Google Account

  5. You will be asked to match each device to your Hospitable.com properties.

    (Optional) Click skip If you do not want to match a device yet

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, or even a new reservation message, after a booking is confirmed.

However, we do recommended waiting to include this short code closer to their check in time for the best experience for you and your guest.

Resync a lock

You don't need to use the Resync action when you match or re-match a device to your account. We will automatically sync the device when it is matched.

There may be times when Hospitable and one of your smart locks get out of sync. This might happen if we fail to create a code, or if you changed the lock codes directly on your device. In situations like this, when you are concerned there may be missing or mismatched codes, you can resync the lock from Hospitable by clicking on the Resync button.
