Hi @Saiful10 ,
The one I use works with Airbnb platform. I've linked them on the app on my phone, so when I get a confirmed booking they get an automated message with a random number and that random number is set to their reservation dates only. I've had a few guests who didn't check out in time and couldn't get back in, so I always tell them in the initial email that the lock expires at the check out time.
You can add, remove or extend key codes from your phone even if you are 100 miles away. Most of the time I'm away from my properties by 30 miles or so and I can see who is at the door and/or unlock the door for the person remotely. This makes it easy to let maintenance people in and make sure to lock after they leave.
My cleaning person has a code of her own so I know when she uses it, that means I know when she comes to clean and when she leaves.
All that said, I live in an urban area where we have super fast and reliable internet options. This probably would not be such a good option if I lived in a place more prone to broadband outages.
However, I also have an old fashion lock box, the kind real estate agents use that houses physical keys to the property. In case of a dead battery before I can change it and/or broadband outages, I give the guests the combination to the lockbox and they unlock the door physically. This happened only once and it was not due to an outage but the guest not being able to figure out how to enter the key code. I even unlocked it for them remotely but for some reason they couldn't enter. I think it was a mental block having the key helped them.
After a key code expires, I just remove it. I know there are some companies that set the key codes to correspond to the guests phone number but I find that to be too unsettling. I rather random numbers.
For example, I had a guest who needed a place to stay until her family could come and get her as her partner was abusing her. That partner could have easily figured out the key code set to a phone number.
For what it's worth, if you do not mind making the trip at least once a week and can find a good cleaning service, someone who cleans and replenishes supplies you can manage the rest remotely. Until I got a good cleaning service and set mutual expectations I had to go after every cleaning to make sure the unit was presentable.
I pay a little more for my cleaning service than the average, but she takes time coded photos before and after which would come handy if there was a damage etc and makes sure she replenishes supplies in between.
I also have good neighbors I could call in an emergency until I could get there.
I also have a locked linen closet with at least 4 sets of bedding for each bed. I go once a week, sometimes less often if guests are staying longer to pick up dirty laundry the cleaning lady stored and leave clean ones. The washer in the unit is not very efficient for doing laundry.
Anyway, these are just a few coping mechanisms I learned for when I am not directly on the property. I hope they help you figure out what you would like to do.
