smart lock and intercom systems

[Laura8056]

We have a block of 8 airbnb high use units and we are installing a new entry system. We are not sure whether to install smart lock system (of which there are many) or a hard wired intercom system which supports changing the codes. There are pros and cons of both but just wondering if anyone has any solid experience with this and what your opinions and recommendations are

Hi @Laura8056 

I don't know what the hard-wired intercom system would look like, but the ones I've seen here are usually disconnected by building management or by owners to preserve the peace. Any system where a buzzer or intercom button can be pressed at 3am by people walking home from a pub, runs the risk of disturbing your guests.

Hello @Laura8056! 

This topic has come up many times, so I’m confident we’ll be able to provide you with some great recommendations. I’d like to share a conversation where several users discussed different smart locks they've used and worked well: Smart lock. 

I’d also like to mention a few users from that previous thread here, so they can jump in and personally share their experiences with you: @Nur785, @Karen4076, @Emaks0, @Mike-And-Jane0, @Christine3142, @Petra809 and @Pat271. 

Hope we can help you!
