Are there any WIFI enabled external key lock box (with key pad to unlock)?

Are there any recommended key lock boxes that you can mount securely to a brick wall that can link to your WIFI to allow remote change of the key box code so that you can change codes after each guest has left remotely?

First choice is always the Schlage Encode hardware on your door. The app works perfectly remotely and syncs with Airbnb to generate and send unique codes to each booking with 3p app RemoteLock. 

Second choice is the ONLY wifi remote access  lockbox I know of -  the one from LOQRON on Amazon. You have to plug in a little gateway device but once you do, you can actually open the box yourself from anywhere in the world. When I see a delivery person on the ring camera, instead of telling them the code to open the box. I open it for them and watch them put the package inside and key back in the box. Now they don’t have to have a code or figure out how to enter it.  You can also generate new codes from anywhere and they’ll update the box.  Bluetooth is pointless. I need a lockbox I can control when I’m NOT in Bluetooth range, duh.

Hi Lisa- I have used the Igloohome lock box for the past year on our property.  It works well with auto sending codes and you can remotely send codes without having to be within bluetooth distance.  There is no wifi required either.

@Nickolas17 How does it receive the codes without wifi or bluetooth?

Hi everyone,

 

Some fantastic tips and experiences in this thread! When it comes to self check-in there are a lot of things to consider - I would recommend reading up on our handy Self Checkin guide over on the Resource Center as well as learning here in the Community Center: The dos and don’ts of providing self check-in

 

Thanks,

Absolutely, I’ve got just the thing for you! I recently picked up this WiFi key lock box. It comes with a WiFi hub, so I can control it remotely from anywhere—even when I’m out of the country pretending to be on a beach in Bali (if only!). Also worth mentioning I set it up on a wall like you mentioned (it came with some installation accessories) and a shackle if you just want to hang it somewhere.

It’s incredibly convenient. I can change the code after each guest leaves, and it has a temporary code feature where you can set how long the codes last. Plus, you can view usage logs remotely on your phone, so you’ll always know who’s accessing it.

I’ve only had it for a short while, so I’m still exploring all its features, but so far, it’s been amazing. It’s perfect for that extra peace of mind and ease of use.Screenshot 2024-07-25 at 5.15.54 PM.pngScreenshot 2024-07-25 at 5.15.47 PM.png

Hope this helps!
