Glad you asked; the bottom of the post has been updated with my hardware list, as well as some commentary about it.

Could you tell me which lock do you use ?

Thanks! I try to save all the links as I work, so that I can cite everything.

I like the guest idea, but I’m afraid many are not that tech-savvy. My plan is instead to integrate with the Airbnb platform itself to message them their personal PIN code for entry about 24 hours before check-in. I find this works very well when done manually because the guest also receives the PIN code via email & SMS (Airbnb notifications), meaning they’re unlikely to forget it. This means there are no physical objects to change, as well — the code is handled entirely digitally, and reset for the next guest.

Hi,

Nice post thanks for sharing. What I do like is that you are sharing knowledge with a proper source. Great job.

As for your AirBnB guests you can use a NFC card with a QR code printer. If they turn on their NFC or scan the QR code their in.

Next step would be to have this guest code changed after they leave.
