Smart Home Devices to Help Automate your Airbnb Operations
Imagine a world where your home is always ready and waiting for you. With a “Smart Home,” you can monitor your properties remotely and automate management tasks like cleaning schedules. This technology makes it easier for you to provide a unique and hassle-free experience for your guests.
As travelers increasingly look for more than just a place to sleep, technology has stepped up to provide innovative services beyond the typical amenities. So, if you're looking for ways to make your guests feel safe and at home, consider investing in some, if not all, smart home devices.
1. Security Cameras
Security cameras are a great way to watch your property, even when you're not there. There are many affordable options available that offer live streaming, motion detection, and night vision. You can also set up alerts to notify you of any activity on your property.
Of course, you wouldn't always be home to greet your guests when they arrive, so installing cameras will give you peace of mind knowing that your guests made it in safely.
As a hospitality operator, you can integrate your security cameras with SuiteOp to enhance the safety and security of your property. This integration allows you to monitor activity in real time, ensuring the well-being of your guests and staff. With SuiteOp's easy-to-use interface and reliable security features, you can have peace of mind knowing that your property is being monitored and protected around the clock.
2. Smart Locks
Gone are the days of leaving a key under the mat! Now you can provide keyless entry for your guests—no more worries about lost or unreturned keys.
And if you ever need to change the code, you can do so remotely. Smart locks are also a great way to keep track of who is coming and going from your property, as you can see when each code is used and by whom.
With SuiteConnect, you can track entries and exits using unique access codes. These codes are automatically pushed to the lock at check-in time and removed upon checkout, providing a secure and convenient way to manage access to your property. The codes are dynamically displayed in the SuitePortal, making it easy for guests to access their assigned rooms. SuiteConnect is a great tool for ensuring the safety and security of your property.
3. Smart Thermostats
Say goodbye to your guests being too hot or too cold! Smart thermostats allow you to remotely control the temperature of your rental, so you can always ensure that it's comfortable for your guests. You can also set up schedules so that the temperature is automatically adjusted for when your guests arrive or leave.
SuiteMonitor is an asset monitoring device that prioritizes privacy. It features advanced humidity, temperature, and air quality. This helps protect against mold and heating and cooling systems misuse and promotes healthy stays for your guests. Both hosts and guests love the added peace of mind and convenience that SuiteMonitor provides.
4. Smart Lights
Welcome your guests the smart way! You can set them to turn on automatically when your guests arrive and even dim them to create a cozy atmosphere. You can also control them remotely.
With SuiteConnect, guests can easily control their smart lights, which is perfect for those who may have forgotten to turn off the lights before bed and want to do so without getting up. SuiteConnect makes it easy for guests to manage their lighting, providing a convenient and user-friendly way to conserve energy and save money on electricity bills.
5. Smart Plugs
What's the enormous spending of a rental host aside from cleaning services? Yes, you guessed right - it's the utility bill! So start saving energy and money by using smart plugs in your property. Also, switch appliances automatically when your guests leave, so you're saving energy when no one is home.
6. Smart Speakers
Smart speakers are a great way to provide entertainment for your guests. There are many options available that offer music streaming, internet radio, and even audiobooks. You can also use them to control other smart devices in your home, such as lights and thermostats.
SuiteConnect allows guests to easily control their smart speakers, such as SONOS. This enables hosts to provide guests with easy access to specific devices without sharing their personal account information. SuiteConnect makes it simple and convenient for guests to manage their audio experience, providing a user-friendly and secure way to enjoy music and other audio content during their stay.
7. Noise Detector
No one wants to be woken up in the middle of the night by a party next door. A noise detector can help you keep an ear out for any loud noises coming from your property. Having them is a must so you can address them quickly and prevent complaints from your guests.
SuiteMonitor is an advanced asset monitoring device that uses state-of-the-art technology to detect noise levels without recording sound. This allows the unit to provide accurate and reliable data without compromising guests' privacy. The noise detection feature is particularly useful for properties with no-party policies, as it can help prevent parties from occurring and ensure that guests abide by the rules.
As a host or a property manager, you want to maintain the safety and comfort of their property. So if you're looking for a way to monitor your property and ensure the well-being of your guests, consider giving SuiteMonitor a try.
8. Smoke Detector
Keep your guests safe from fire by installing smoke detectors on your property. Smoke detectors allow you to monitor for any potential fires. In addition, receiving alerts when smoke is detected will let you act quickly. Smoke detectors also come in handy to ensure that your no-smoking policy is being adhered to.
Fresh air is essential for the health and well-being of guests and hosts. SuiteMonitor can detect CO2 levels, allowing hosts to monitor the air quality of their property and ensure that it remains healthy for guests.
Enhance Your Guests’ Safety and Security
To ensure that your guests have a smooth experience with the new technology, it is important to provide detailed instructions for using it. Not all travelers are familiar with these devices, so it is best to include instructions in your welcome kit, whether digital or printed. This will help guests get the most out of the technology and have a positive experience at your property.
At SuiteOp, we specialize in the management of smart devices at scale. Our smart rules allow for the automation of various operations, such as energy savings and self-check-in, making the experience more convenient for guests. Additionally, our mobile-based system allows memorable guest experiences without downloading an app. All of these combined result in a seamless and effortless experience for hosts and guests alike.
