Granting Guest Access is an easy way for you to give friends, family, house sitters, or delivery drivers access to your home or community. The availability of access types and timeframe may differ depending on your community guidelines and the lock model installed. If you have a SmartRent-supported community access system, the guest access you create will automatically grant access to those common areas/perimeter doors as well. Credentials may be issued as a PIN code or Bluetooth Pass depending on the lock type.
