Smart home tech makes hosting SO much easier. Here's what I use and recommend: Smart Locks (MUST HAVE) This is the #1 upgrade every host should make. No more key exchanges! #My Top Picks: Schlage Encode Plus ⭐ My Choice \- WiFi built-in (no hub needed) \- Works with Airbnb (auto-codes coming!) \- Apple HomeKit compatible \- $280-320 Yale Assure Lock 2 \- Sleek design \- Multiple connectivity options \- $180-280 depending on module August WiFi Smart Lock \- Retrofits existing deadbolt \- Keep your exterior look \- $200-250 Noise Monitoring Protect yourself from parties without invading privacy! Minut ⭐ My Choice \- Noise levels (no recording) \- Occupancy estimation \- Cigarette smoke detection \- $150 device + $10/mo NoiseAware \- Industry standard \- $200 device + $10/mo Thermostats Save money and ensure guest comfort. Ecobee SmartThermostat ⭐ \- Room sensors included \- Prevents extreme settings \- $200-250 Nest Thermostat \- Budget-friendly \- Easy to use \- $130-180 Security Cameras ONLY for exterior/common areas! Always disclose in listing. Ring Doorbell \- See when guests arrive \- Package theft protection \- $100-250 What I Wish I'd Bought Sooner The Minut sensor. I had a party situation at 2am and didn't know until neighbors complained. Now I get instant alerts. What smart home tech do you use?
