Yale smart locks have long been a favorite choice for Airbnb hosts, offering the ability to create and share temporary access codes with guests. Now, the Yale Assure Lock 2, Yale Approach, and August Wi-Fi Smart Lock have become even more attractive to hosts with a major update that deepens their integration with Airbnb. This new integration allows hosts to link their smart locks directly to the Airbnb app, enabling the automatic sending of unique door codes to guests along with other stay details. Previously, hosts had to manually create and send codes for each guest. This manual process is now completely automated through the Airbnb app, making the hosting experience smoother than ever. The update also grants hosts the ability to conveniently modify the code activation periods using the Airbnb app, accommodating early check-ins and late checkouts. This added flexibility provides greater control and convenience for hosts.
“We’re thrilled to strengthen our existing partnership with Airbnb as we work together to make the stay experience more seamless for hosts and guests alike,” said Jason Williams, president, security at Fortune Brands Innovations. “Yale and August smart locks are uniquely positioned to help allow guests to easily access their listings and enjoy their stays sooner. Our smart lock solutions help provide Airbnb hosts and guests with the convenience and peace of mind that create pleasant Airbnb experiences.”
Existing Airbnb users can easily unlock these new features by following the pop-up notifications within the app. These notifications will guide users through the steps needed to access the updated Yale automations. The update primarily supports three smart locks: Yale Assure Lock 2, August Wi-Fi Smart Lock, and Yale Approach Lock. For further compatibility details, you can visit Yale’s website.
