I would love this as well.
I have used many different types of smart locks and I have found that the Wyze lock and keypad are the most suitable for Airbnb. It is simple to use but has all the smart features that makes things a lot easier. I have tried August but the battery doesnt last well. I have also tried Nest, Yale, Eufy, Schlageā¦ they all have different kind of issues.
If Wyze can integrate with Airbnb, I think it will make Wyze lock the absolute go to smart lock for all the hosts.
Wyze has the opportunity to own the market of over 1.6 Million short term rentals. Iāve just started with my first and have been looking for over a month for a lock and security system integrated with a Short-Term Rentals market place(a.k.a AirBnB, vacation rentals, STR, VRBO) or any of the property management systems/PMS (e.g. Guesty, OwnerRez, Hospitable, Hostaway, Lodgify, etc). Surprisingly, this doesnāt exist!! How hard would it be to provide the capability via API to allow a PMS to program a temporary door code, security system code, (and wifi !)? Wyze has all of that and just needs to tie it together and form some partnerships. Also, opening the door bolt via a programmed code should also disarm the security system. Maybe Iāll need to create a product to do this for themā¦huge opportunity for someone!
There are some manufacturers that are more short term rental aware like Schlage, Yale, Kwikset, and August. But, the majority of smart locks are programmed thru third party SaaS companies like RemoteLock, Operto, Jervis, Enso Connect, etc. There are rarely supported natively with PMS platforms. I am in the same dilemma as you sj3vans. I am considering replacing my Wyze Locks to better automate my operations even though I am satisfied with the reliability of the Wyze Locks and Keypads.
I also checked if I can program codes thru IFFTT or Zapier and I havenāt a lock that offers that action on those platforms.
Integration with Hospitable or AirBNB directly for smart locks
Need an integration for smart locks to Hospitable or AirBNB, VRBO, & Booking.com directly.
Yale, Schlage, August and many others already have it.
Would just need ability to create temporarily smart lock codes automatically for guests stay duration.

I am ok without direct integration with AirBnB. But what REALLY irks me is the design of the Wyze app that makes it tedious to add or delete access codes. It takes 4 clicks to worm your way down to that screen. It would be nice to have a link directly from the first screen for the lock, rather than having to find the tiny and awkwardly placed gear icon for settings then 3 more screens and then laboriously click 4 times back to the main screen and 4 times forward to save codes on another lock.
I have a big house with two locks. Itās painful to create an access code and delete if you max out. let alone go through the same cycle again for the 2nd lock. Short-term rental is a big community. Wyze products are as good as other integrated products except for the navigation path.
I would recommend anyone interested commenting or engaging with this trouble ticket (issue) i submitted to the WyzeSDK team as it will show more interest to them.
This is the only issue to resolve and it seems to be with the SDK not actually working with keypads though everything works on the app.
Really hope the Wyze team listens to this and will add AirBnB integration for the Wyze Lock soon.
I have Wyze locks in several short-term rentals, but I have to switch to other options like Yale, August and Schlage, because manually sending codes to every guest just takes too much time.
