GuestsKey + OwnerRez: Now an Official Partner Integration

GuestsKey is now an official OwnerRez partner. Sync bookings to your smart locks automatically — guest codes generated, scheduled, and removed without lifting a finger.

We're excited to announce that GuestsKey is now an official OwnerRez partner integration. If you're an OwnerRez user, your bookings can now flow directly into your smart locks — generating, scheduling, and removing guest access codes automatically, without ever touching your lock app.

This partnership has been a long time coming. OwnerRez is the platform we trust to run our own properties, and bringing native integration to its community of property managers is a milestone we're proud of.

What This Means for OwnerRez Users

  • One-click connection via OwnerRez OAuth — no PAT tokens to manage
  • Bookings sync to GuestsKey in real time
  • Guest codes auto-generated from phone number (or random)
  • Codes activate at check-in, expire at checkout — fully automatic
  • Works with SmartThings and Seam-supported locks (Yale, Schlage, Lockly, August, and more)

How the Integration Works

The flow is simple and entirely hands-off once you're set up:

  1. Connect OwnerRez to GuestsKey via OAuth (takes about 30 seconds)
  2. Map your OwnerRez properties to your smart locks
  3. Enable guest automation — choose code length and source (last 4 of phone, or random)
  4. GuestsKey imports your bookings (12 months back) and schedules every code
  5. Codes activate at check-in, deactivate at checkout, on every lock, every time

Real-Time Sync

New bookings, modifications, and cancellations from OwnerRez flow into GuestsKey via webhooks in seconds.

Smart Scheduling

Codes are scheduled in the property's local timezone — no DST issues, no missed check-ins, no early expirations.

Reliable & Secure

Database-encrypted tokens, audit logs for every code action, and emergency backup codes if anything fails pre-checkin.

Why We Built This

GuestsKey started because we manage our own short-term rentals on OwnerRez and were tired of manually creating guest codes for every booking. The existing solutions were either built for a single PMS, locked to one lock vendor, or required clunky workflows that broke when a guest changed their check-in time.

We built GuestsKey to be the missing layer between your PMS and your locks — with native OwnerRez support as the foundation. Bookings, guest contact data, date changes, cancellations: everything flows through correctly the first time, every time.

If you're an OwnerRez user with smart locks, this integration gives you back hours every week and eliminates an entire class of guest-experience bugs.

What's Included

  • Guest code automation — codes generated, scheduled, applied, and removed automatically for every booking
  • Cleaner codes — recurring access for your cleaning team across all your properties
  • One-time keys — temporary codes for vendors, deliveries, or maintenance
  • Emergency backup codes — proactively distributed if a lock validation fails before check-in
  • Multi-property dashboard — manage all your OwnerRez properties in one view
  • Team management — invite cleaners, co-hosts, or staff with role-based access
  • Real-time alerts — get notified about lock issues, low batteries, or code conflicts

Get Started

GuestsKey is priced per lock, starting at $4/lock/month for SmartThings locks and $5/lock/month for Seam locks, with volume discounts as you scale. Every plan includes every feature — no tiers, no upsells, no per-property fees. Start with a 14-day free trial; cancel anytime before it ends to avoid charges.

Correction

August 17, 2026 — This post originally described GuestsKey pricing as a flat $5/lock/month. That was inaccurate when the post was published: lock pricing has been per-device and tiered since January 2026, starting at $4/lock/month for SmartThings locks and $5/lock/month for Seam locks. The paragraph above has been corrected. See the pricing page for current rates.
