Hey everyone,
I'm actively transforming my listings into fully automated smart homes and wanted to connect with other hosts doing the same.
Here's what I'm currently running or testing:
Smart locks (keyless, remote access, auto-code generation per guest)
Solar-powered security cameras (exterior only)
Robotic cleaners (auto-scheduled between checkouts)
AI tools for guest messaging, pricing, and review automation
A few questions for the group:
1. Is anyone else using AI for guest communication or dynamic pricing? Which tools are actually worth it?
2. Has anyone had issues with guests and smart home devices? (Complaints, confusion, tampering?)
3. For those using robot vacuums/mops — are they replacing your cleaners or just supplementing?
4. Any smart home setups that have noticeably improved your ratings or reduced operational costs?
I'm trying to run these properties as hands-off as possible while maintaining Superhost standards. Would love to hear what's actually working vs. what's overhyped.
Drop your setup below!
