Platform-specific smart lock access control

Problem Statement:

  • Currently, smart locks are connected to all linked platforms without the ability to restrict them to specific ones
  • This means smart lock codes are shared across all connected OTAs (Airbnb, Vrbo, etc.) even when the host only wants them active for certain platforms

Current Workaround:

  • Using Airbnb's own smart lock connection for Airbnb bookings
  • Manually managing smart lock access for other platforms

Impact:

  • Lack of control over which platforms use smart lock access
  • Potential security concerns with unnecessary platform access
  • Inconsistent guest experience across platforms

Proposed Solution:

  • Add a setting in Hospitable to control which platforms smart locks are linked to
  • Allow hosts to select specific platforms (e.g., Vrbo, manual bookings) where smart lock codes should be active

Unlock:

  • Hosts can restrict smart lock access to only the platforms they choose
  • Greater control over security and guest access management
  • Ability to use platform-specific lock connections (like Airbnb's) while limiting Hospitable's access to other platforms
