They can open the door remotely, from anywhere, as well as give their renters a personal user code to enter the home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"greater-need-to-maintain-security\">Greater need to maintain security<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>But what about during the colder months when the property is rarely if ever being rented? \u201c<em>The offseason is a great time for dealers and distributors to sell smart locks to owners of second homes<\/em>,\u201d said Erik Glassen, Senior Manager, Brand Marketing at Kwikset. \u201c<em>Less scheduled traffic at the property means there\u2019s a greater need to maintain security<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<em>Smart locks let the homeowners lock up their property remotely, after every time it is used, and before the home is closed up for the winter<\/em>,\u201d he noted. \u201c<em>Smart locks also provide an information trail to homeowners, directly to their phone or computer. This information lets the user know that their property is always locked up, safe and sound<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thinmoo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/mobile-access-control.png\" alt=\"mobile access control\" class=\"wp-image-1174\" width=\"678\" height=\"660\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thinmoo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/mobile-access-control.png 861w, https:\/\/www.thinmoo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/mobile-access-control-300x292.png 300w, https:\/\/www.thinmoo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/mobile-access-control-768x747.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 678px) 100vw, 678px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"home-automation-system\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thinmoo.en.alibaba.com\/\">Home automation system<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some of the other reasons why smart locks can be attractive to owners of second homes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Management companies, often used by homeowners to find renters, hire and work with service people, and check up on the property in the offseason, can be given their own user code or access to the smart lock<\/li><li>The offseason is often a time when these homeowners make upgrades to their property. With smart locks, service people like painters, plumbers, carpenters, and electricians can be given their own time-sensitive user codes. The owner never needs to be at home to let the contractor inside. And owners can check to see when these contractors left, and make sure the doors are all locked.<\/li><li>Keeping the property clean is extremely important \u2013 and there\u2019s no better time to give the property a thorough cleaning than when it\u2019s not being used. Giving cleaning companies their own time-sensitive user code is an easy and secure way to ensure that the property stays pristine and is up to renters\u2019 standards when it re-opens for business.<\/li><li>Many homeowners will want to take advantage of the quieter season to make the property more attractive \u2013 and one way to boast a competitive advantage is to make a smart lock a central part of a complete home automation system. The smart lock can even bring control of the home\u2019s automation system directly to the front door. So renters not only have the convenience and security of a smart lock but can potentially control the home\u2019s entire smart-device ecosystem &#8211; including lighting, heating, cooling, A\/V, smart doorbells, cameras, and more \u2013 through the lock and home automation<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Kwikset\u2019s Glassen concluded, \u201c<em>If security dealers do their homework about the benefits of smart locks to customers with second homes, they can potentially make smart locks a centrepiece of their home automation business all year. And they can turn a quiet winter into a busy season of connected security sales<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Smart lock dealers are likely aware of the benefits that smart locks can bring to owners of rental vacation homes during the summertime \u2013chief among them being the hands-free, key-free handoff from owners to renters.
