TTLOCK integration with AirBnB

[Marie-And-Oliver0]

Hi Airbnb Community,

We recently bought a condo in Mexico and the attached lock has been installed.

It seems to work with the TTLOCK app.

We don't have any experience with this type of lock or the app.

Has anyone used TTLOCK and successfully integrated it with AirBnB to provide:

1: Remote access codes to guests

2: Remote administrative control for the host

Do you need any additional hardware for remote administration like a gateway?

Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @Marie-And-Oliver0 , Smart locks have been a trending topic on the Community Center. We've noticed many Hosts talk about either Schlage or Yale smart locks and integrating it with their Airbnb listing.  So I'll wait to see if other Host members have any advice regarding this particular lock and app.

In the meantime, have you managed to explore the settings of the above smart lock through the app? What have been your findings so far? Have you managed to sort the codes and navigate through the lock control functions?

Thanks so much for sharing this comment with us @Giuseppe1762 . Would you mind sharing how you integrate this system to make the most out of them? Such insights would definitely help other Hosts such as @Marie-And-Oliver0 . 

On a side note, unfortunately, I had to remove your phone number due to safety and privacy reasons as per our  Community Center Guidelines. Thank you for your kind understanding about that! 🌻

Thanks @Giuseppe1762 ,

We were more looking for some guidence as opposed to signing up to a PMS cloud system.

We just wanted to know if anyone has this lock and if they have successfully integrated it into ABB.. 

We've found this article:

https://support.remotelock.com/s/article/TTLock-Integration

Which seems to go through the necessary steps + outlines the fact that you do need a SEPERATE gateway if you are not using a PMS system.

Thanks for your comments, we appreciate any info.

Hi @Marie-And-Oliver0 , if you are trying to have AirBnB automatically generate the code for each guest, that feature only works with certain locks. I screen grabbed some info hopefully the picture will attach. 

however since you don’t have the type that ABB can control you simply generate the codes yourself and send it to the guest manually. I am able to program in the last four digits of the guest cell phone, along with a start time and date and end time and date that the code will function. The only downside is I have to remember to do this manually. Also I allow instant same day bookings and I have to be prepared to send out the code in that event. 

to create a new code in mine I create a new “user” and generate the code I want. It also has the option to generate a random code. Since I do set the window of time that it will work, I can send the code to guest as early as I want, and I do them all at the beginning of the month, keeping an eye for late bookings. It’s been working great. 

have fun.

Hi @Noelle194 ,

Thanks for the info. 

We have YALE locks in our other properties and have successfully configured them to generate automatic codes to the guests so we dont have to do them manually.

Our question was around the use of TTLOCK as opposed to say YALE or Schlange etc..

We dont have experience with the TTLOCK and the app and the actual lock posted above and were hoping someone in the community actually has this lock and provide some guidance as per our original questions.

Hello, As far as I know, at the Moment Is not possibile to create an automatic integration directly between Airbnb and TTlock, this Is why we realized a commercial cloud software to reach this. (obviusly the Sync Is not The only  purpose of the software).

Noelle194 seems to be the only free-of-charge solution. Furthermore the TTlock system Needs a specific bluetooth gateway to comunicate with the Cloud.

I have found the versatility of TTLocks to be unmatched. We have PIN codes for certain service providers, old-school keys, key fobs for guests and fingerprint readers for people who frequently enter our property. 

the PIN codes have a bunch of options for permanency, customer, time and day-bounds. All can be controlled remotely via their app. 

however I cannot get Pins send to our guests (they get a fob upon arrival) however I would love for ABB to be able to send them a Pin just in case (some part of their cell for easy memory) in case they forget the Fob. TTLocks are all over Amazon and the price is unbeatable. 

Now - just need ABB to add this without needing another 3rd party. They have done so with some lock manufacturers and would like TTLock added (soon). 

if anyone has more recent info, I’d love to hear. I’m looking into using HomeAssistant and Rental Control -  but that only is proving difficult but I think is overly complicated since ABB has chose partners. I hope those chosen are not the only “winners”.
