Ezviz Home Automation: Smart Solutions for Guesthouses and B&Bs
Renting rooms or short-term accommodations can be a rewarding activity, but it also comes with various challenges. Managing guests, ensuring property security, and constant maintenance are just a few of the daily issues that hosts face. Fortunately, home automation offers innovative solutions to simplify and improve the management of short-term rentals. Ezviz, with its range of smart devices, effectively addresses these needs, offering a comprehensive suite of products that enhance security and convenience for both guests and property owners.
Short-term rental platforms like Airbnb have revolutionized the hospitality industry, but they have also highlighted the importance of efficient and secure management. Home automation plays a crucial role in this context, providing solutions that not only improve the guest experience but also reduce the workload for property owners.
Challenges in the World of Short-Term Rentals
Remote property management shares common aspects such as handling Check-In/Check-Out, which can often be stressful for both hosts and guests. Another critical issue is the security of the property, which might remain unoccupied for certain periods, making it potentially susceptible to theft or vandalism.
Property management is often delegated to third parties or companies for routine tasks (cleaning, room preparation, restocking supplies, etc.). Traditional key sharing methods for access management pose problems, such as the possibility of keys being lost or stolen. Guests or hosts forgetting to close doors/windows is a real and possible issue that exposes your property to weather damage or potential break-ins.
Another fundamental aspect is the ability to monitor the property after natural disasters, severe storms, or other disruptions to check for flooding or damage that might require immediate attention. Besides traditional and AI-integrated cameras, there are numerous sensors designed to prevent or notify about fires or floods.
Ezviz Connected Solutions for Remote Property Management
Property management can be the most complex and time-consuming aspect of short-term rentals, which is why Ezviz has developed various integrated solutions to automate your property and control it remotely, easing the stay and management process:
- Access to the Property | With the Ezviz smart lock, you can provide easy access to the property via code, key fob, or app authorization. Grant access to guests or service staff for specific days or times and monitor detailed access reports via the app.
- Entry Protection | With door and window sensors, the Ezviz magnetic sensors can be installed in less than 30 seconds and allow you to monitor the status of doors/windows, trigger alarms, or control connected home automation. Additionally, motion detection sensors provide further protection, monitoring each room as programmed.
- Flood and Fire Detection | Sensors are designed to cover various needs, including smoke/fire detection and flood detection with sensors connected to Ezviz home automation.
- Surveillance | Smart cameras with or without AI, battery-operated or not, are designed for both indoor and outdoor installation, providing 360° coverage of the property. They allow real-time alerts and automatic video recording, with the option to easily deactivate them via the app during rental periods for privacy reasons.
These are the fundamental aspects to consider when evaluating home automation for property management. However, Ezviz's offerings do not stop here; they also provide many other connected technological devices, such as smart lights to offer unique moments to your guests and manage color/intensity, as well as turn them off remotely if left on. For routine tasks, products like the all-in-one vacuum cleaner can assist with cleaning, helping service staff achieve impeccable results in less time, thereby reducing costs.
Access control is not limited to the home's smart lock but also extends to the video intercom, allowing the opening of doors or gates via a connected local device, remotely, or with an RFID token.
Energy Savings and Consumption Monitoring with Smart Plugs
The use of smart devices can significantly contribute to energy savings during rental periods. Smart plugs with consumption monitoring or without it allow you to turn connected devices on or off remotely or locally, even via virtual assistants. This will enable immediate savings by preventing lights or other devices from staying on when the property is empty. This can be managed through the creation of specific scenarios based on personal needs, allowing excellent integration of connected devices.
Thus, home automation is a valuable ally for remote property management, simplifying and automating many processes. The solution offered will result in a more professional, convenient setup, less prone to issues during the Check-In and Check-Out process, while also improving security and the overall guest experience. This allows you to save time and money by streamlining existing processes and reducing the need for intervention and support for guests.
