New app to make Airbnb process smoother

A new app, developed locally, hopes to help Airbnb hosts easily manage their rental by allowing guests to access their property without keys. Called OPEN, the access management app makes any gate, garage or door smart without changing the door lock or motors. It works by connecting all access points to OPEN, with a keypad installed at the entrance. When guests, or service staff, are expected, the app owner generates a PIN that works for a certain period of time and sends it to the people wanting to enter. The owner will then be notified when the door is opened or shut.
