A lot of brands of smart locks integrate just fine with Airbnb reservation data.

Maybe it did āat one pointā, but in 2022 it is integrated with virtually every brand and manufacturer and works for any smart lock.
Airbnb? What is this? Where do I find it? I have a Qwikset smart deadbolt that I program remotely, but I have to do it myself for each guest. If there is a way I can have the lock update itself based on ABB booking data, that would be pretty cool.
Check your Qwikset online instructions. Airbnb has an api the locks connect through. But, you usually have to initiate the setup through the Locks software.
I use Yale that connect through August. To be honest, I dont trust it. The August system uses random codes. I prefer to set them up manually using a portion of the guests phone number.
But, yes, most locks that allow remote programming have the ability to connect automatically with Airbnb through the lock software.

Yes. We use these in each bedroom, so no more crawling around for outlets:
I now use $79 Amazon Echoshow 8 for this. I put a welcome board on the Echo Show; I can add additional photos if the guest would like. Or I could put local sites in a slideshow but have not done that (yet?).

Is there a way on this unit to disable Alexa and, is there a way to make this unit ādumbā? I would like to have something like this in my three adjacent private rooms to be able to display, welcome, information, etc. Iām wondering if I can turn off the sound for instance, so that people arenāt blasting music at 3 AM in the room. I love the functionality of these devices, but Iām not sure if I have these units in adjacent bedrooms is a good idea.
Iām sorry but I donāt know. Next time Iām with my computer consultant I will ask.
I do put this on its own email so that every time there is a delivery for me it is not announced on the screen. I also put tape on its camera as well as turn the slider to turn off the camera. I understand that these are different issues than you are asking.
However, doing my own research just now, I found this:

It looks like you can prevent Alexa from playing music by enabling a sleep timer but I would think an experienced user can over-ride that.
Thereās probably a way to stop Alexa from playing music altogether but I donāt see a way that a user couldnāt over-ride.
Hello and thank you for all of the great advice and tips. Unfornately I do not see any way to purchase the items you mention, no link or in some cases, not even the name of the item you have mentioned. What am I missing? Thanks.
This topic includes a number of names and links.
To which posts are you referring?
The ātried and Recommended Products for Airbnb Hosts.ā For instance one of the bullets says " Tough Grimy/Greasy surfaces (and youāre lazy)
Not all hosts will have a power drill handy but if you do, then this is a good one for you. It attaches to a power drill and it makes cleaning super easy. I donāt have one personally but Iāve seen how handy it is at cleaning a grillā¦just make sure you donāt use full power when using detergent." Which attachment is it talking about?
Itās a drill brush attachment; a brush that attaches to a drill. The link was included (click on the picture); it worked for me, leading me to: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MRLZ43B/ref=as_sl_pc_qf_sp_asin_til?tag=airhostsforum-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=0b2ebe72284c7f68bb3f4743bbf81561&creativeASIN=B01MRLZ43B
I donāt have pictures, maybe that is the problem.
I didnāt copy the picture but for that post the link was the picture.
So maybe this is a browser issue for you. You might want to Google āwhy does browser not show imagesā. Do you see the picture below?
