When a guest enters one of my listings, the property literally springs to life. They are welcomed by name by an AI Avatar on the TV, rolling out a digital 'red carpet' immediately. Within seconds, guests can tell the smart home their ideal temperature, or even mention they're hungry—prompting the microwave to fire up and start popping popcorn.
But my favorite automation solves the classic 'Group Amnesia' problem. We've all had bookings where the lead guest knows the rules, but the rest of the group is totally clueless, right? To fix this, I have a motion-triggered announcement that plays the night before departure. It ensures the whole group hears the checkout time and procedures, so no one is left guessing. Or if I need a vehicle moved or the trash to be taken out, I use my mobile smart remote to both program the message and set the motion trigger.
When it's time to leave, guests simply load the dishwasher and hit a physical 'Checkout' button on their way out. That single press adjusts the thermostat, kills the lights, locks the door, and notifies my housekeeping team—it even cues up a customized welcome for the cleaners when they arrive. It’s a five-star experience on autopilot!
Recently, a fellow host stayed at one of my listings, they were impressed by my set up and asked that I set their place up with my smart home magic. I’m curious, do you use smart home tech in your listings, and if so, what do you use and what problems have you solved or experiences have you created?
Thank you Hospitable for all the integrations, API, WEBHOOKS, etc. So much of what I create rides on your tools.
