Add Weiser Halo Smart Lock Compatibility for Canadian Users

Problem Statement:
  • Weiser Halo locks are not currently supported in Hospitable's smart lock integrations
  • Weiser is the Canadian twin of Kwikset (same parent manufacturer, near-identical hardware)
  • Hospitable has a Kwikset Halo integration in open beta, but it only works with locks managed through the Kwikset app
  • Weiser Halo locks set up in the Weiser app cannot connect to Hospitable, even though the hardware is identical
  • Canadian hosts with Weiser Halo locks have no supported path to use their existing lock
Current Workaround:
  • Hosts must either reconfigure their Weiser Halo lock in the Kwikset app (not always possible or desirable)
  • Or purchase a new compatible lock (Schlage Encode, Yale Assure 2, etc.)
Impact:
  • Canadian hosts with Weiser Halo locks are locked out of using their existing hardware
  • Creates unnecessary cost for hosts who need to buy a new lock
  • Limits Hospitable's compatibility in the Canadian market where Weiser is a popular brand
Proposed Solution:
  • Add Weiser Halo to the supported smart locks list
  • Enable the Kwikset Halo integration to also accept Weiser-branded Halo locks, even when managed through the Weiser app
  • Or create a dedicated Weiser app integration path
Unlock:
  • Canadian hosts can use their existing Weiser Halo locks with Hospitable
  • Eliminates the need to purchase new hardware
  • Expands Hospitable's smart lock compatibility in the Canadian market
