| Overview | Consider August Wi-Fi Smart Lock if you want to keep your outside hardware and key. It needs a compatible single-cylinder deadbolt. Guests can use virtual keys.

Do not assume offline codes let you unlock from afar, cancel access at once or set a custom PIN locally. The US store sells the lock. Check whether your rental-software partner supports Go. | Consider Halo Touchscreen if you plan to manage keypad access for guests and cleaners by hand. This profile covers 939 WIFI TSCR15 in Satin Nickel. Halo Touch, Select and Select+ are separate models. The vendor describes scheduled codes and remote app control without a hub.

August Wi-Fi Smart Lock: what to consider
Check the deadbolt fit first. Guests need a keypad for PIN entry without a phone. A current booking-driven code process was not confirmed for this model, so do not assume it is included. Read the August Wi-Fi Smart Lock profile for its plans and requirements.
igloohome Deadbolt Go: what to consider
Check the paired lock and partner support for algoPIN codes. An offline code does not let you unlock from afar. It does not let you remove access at once. Check these limits for guest changes. Read the igloohome Deadbolt Go profile for its plans and requirements.
Kwikset Halo Touchscreen Wi-Fi Smart Lock: what to consider
Check the exact Halo Touchscreen model. The reviewed page did not confirm codes made from bookings or property software. Plan to manage codes by hand unless your exact setup is verified. Read the Kwikset Halo Touchscreen Wi-Fi Smart Lock profile for its plans and requirements.

Common questions
What should I check before choosing between August Wi-Fi Smart Lock, igloohome Deadbolt Go and Kwikset Halo Touchscreen Wi-Fi Smart Lock?
Start with the exact door and lock model. Check the keypad, bridge or hub needed for your chosen booking connection. Decide which system should create and remove guest codes. A compatible brand name alone does not confirm that the full setup will work.
How should I plan backup entry with August Wi-Fi Smart Lock, igloohome Deadbolt Go and Kwikset Halo Touchscreen Wi-Fi Smart Lock?
Check how the exact model lets guests in if the main method fails. Test the guest steps before arrival and arrange local help. A code may work offline but still need an internet link for you to change or remove it.
Can August Wi-Fi Smart Lock guests use my existing physical key?
Yes, if the deadbolt fits. The lock keeps the outside hardware and old key. App-based guest keys are a separate way to enter. For PIN entry without a phone, you need a suitable keypad. Do not assume a lock-only order comes with one.
Do Deadbolt Go guests need the igloohome app?
A Bluetooth key needs the app and a nearby phone with Bluetooth on. A guest PIN uses the keypad instead. Use a guest PIN, not your Master PIN. Tell guests which method to use before they arrive.
Can I pause a Kwikset Halo Touchscreen guest code without deleting it?
Kwikset says its app can disable a code as well as delete it. It also lets you set date and time schedules. These are app controls; they do not establish that a booking service will change the code for you.
