For property managers

Your PMS runs the bookings. Homatic runs the units.

Your channel manager, pricing tool and guest messaging already handle the reservation. Nothing in that stack checks that the door locked after checkout, that the cleaner could get in, or that the AC isn’t cooling an empty unit. At ten properties someone does that by hand. At fifty, nobody does.

Homatic is the layer that sits beside the tools you already use. It reads your booking calendar, runs the locks, thermostats and sensors in every unit off it, checks its own work, and only tells you when something needs a person.

What you get

Feature	What it means for you
Guest access from your PMS calendar	Every reservation gets its own door code, live for that stay only. No codes typed into lock apps, and no guest told a code the lock never accepted.
Verified turnovers	Doors locked and confirmed after checkout, climate reset, units ready before arrival, on every booking. Fewer drive-bys to check a door.
Crew access	A fresh code for every clean that expires on its own. No permanent cleaner codes, and nothing to revoke when a crew member leaves.
One rule for every property	Set up a process once and roll it out across the portfolio. Adding unit sixty takes minutes, not an afternoon.
Reports from device data	Stay reports for disputes, recurring problems caught before a guest finds them, and runtime and outage history for every unit.
Team and owner access	Your staff get exactly the functions they run. Owners see their home without seeing guest contact details.
Exception-only alerts	You hear about a failed step, a leak or a dead connection, not every successful one. One person can oversee far more units.

Guest access, driven by your PMS calendar

Your PMS already knows every reservation. Homatic turns each one into access, so nobody on your team types a code into a lock app again:

• A code per reservation, created from the booking in your PMS and live from shortly before check-in to checkout, in the property’s own time zone.
• One code for every door in the unit by default, so the guest has one number to remember. You can switch to a separate code per lock.
• Sent only once the lock confirms it. A code the lock never accepted is the 11 p.m. phone call, so the guest isn’t told until the lock says it’s set.
• Removed after checkout and checked, so an old guest’s code isn’t marked gone while it still opens the door.
• Problems surface in one place: a code that couldn’t be set, or couldn’t be removed, shows on the access screen with the reason, and the second case is treated as urgent.

Nothing to migrate. Connect OwnerRez, Hostaway, Guesty or Lodgify, or paste the calendar export from Airbnb, Vrbo or Booking.com. Your PMS stays the system of record.

The turnover, handled

This is the work your team does between every stay. Homatic does it on every booking, from every channel, in every unit:

When	What happens
Checkout	The guest’s door code stops working. The door is locked, then read back to confirm it latched. If it didn’t, Homatic retries, then texts you once.
After checkout	The thermostat goes to its vacant setting and the lights go off.
Cleaning window	The cleaner gets their own code for this turnover only, texted to them, active between stays and never overlapping a guest.
Before check-in	The unit is brought to temperature, and the next guest’s code goes out only after the lock confirms it.
You	Hear about it only when a step fails. A jammed lock is reported as jammed, not as “unlocked”.

You set this up by describing it in a sentence (“after checkout, lock the front door and text me if it doesn’t lock”). Homatic writes the rule and checks every step against the devices that unit actually has.

Crew access: a fresh door code for every clean

A permanent cleaner code is a key you can never take back. Anyone who ever had it, whether a former cleaner, their friend or a subcontractor, can still get in. Homatic replaces it with crew access: your cleaners, maintenance techs and inspectors each get their own code for each turnover, and it expires on its own.

Write the rule once, not sixty times

A rule you build for one unit is usually a decision about how you run all of them. Apply it to your portfolio and Homatic finds the matching lock, thermostat or sensor in each unit. It won’t guess: every property is listed with where it stands. A unit with no leak sensor says so, and a unit with two locks asks you which one.

For alerts that span everything you own, a portfolio rule watches a kind of device rather than a specific one: “if a leak sensor goes wet at any of my properties, text me.” One rule, one phone number to change, one history. Properties without that kind of sensor are named as not covered, rather than quietly counted as dry.

Your team and your owners, each seeing the right thing

A management company isn’t one person with a password. Homatic gives access per job, not just read or write:

• Hand over a function, not the whole property. Bookings, guest messaging, door codes, guidebook, expenses and automations can each be assigned to a manager, and the owner steps back from that function while it’s yours.
• Owners keep their home. They always keep control of their own devices and property details. Adding devices, deleting the property and managing the team stay with the owner.
• Guest details stay with whoever runs the booking. When you manage bookings for a unit, the owner sees the stay with the guest’s first name and last initial, not their phone or email.

Reports built from what your devices recorded

Every reading your locks, thermostats and sensors send is recorded. Homatic turns that record into reports you can act on or hand to someone else. You don’t have to build dashboards or export raw data yourself.

Report	What it tells you
Stay report	A timeline for each booking: noise that stayed above your limit, the front door opening six times in half an hour, a leak, a device that went offline, what your automations did, and who was texted when. Kept for 60 days and exported as CSV or as a claim packet for Airbnb or Vrbo.
After-stay email	Optional. Once a stay ends, the report arrives in your inbox with the full log attached. When there was a noise incident, it includes every door opening and unlock during the stay. A long offline stretch is flagged as possible tampering.
Issues from each home’s history	Patterns in each property’s own data, each with the count that backs it up: “the garage sensor went offline six times in 14 days”, “no rule watches this leak sensor”, “the front door was left unlocked overnight on 4 nights”, plus low batteries. Each one comes with a suggested rule to fix it.
Devices that stopped acting normal	A device that still responds but has broken from its own pattern: “reported motion on 11 of the last 14 days and none in the last 3”.
Runtime and uptime	How long each AC or furnace actually ran and when, compared with the temperature outside, and every outage with its duration. A failing system or a guest running the heat with the windows open shows up here before the utility bill does.

You can also just ask. “How long was the thermostat at Unit 4 offline last week?” or “What happened during the Smith stay?” The assistant answers from the same records, for the properties you have access to.

Built for a portfolio

• Buildings, not a list of sixty names. Group units by building, complex or region, each with its own address, even when the units belong to different owners. Search finds “Unit 2” by typing 2.
• Dashboards per building. Scope revenue, arrivals and device health to one building or the whole portfolio.
• “Is the house OK?” on one screen. Jammed locks, leaks, offline devices and low batteries across every unit, with the urgent ones first.
• Every physical action is audited: locks and unlocks (by a person or an automation), door codes created or revealed, cameras viewed.
• Unusual activity is flagged: one account unlocking many doors, touching an unusual number of properties, or unlocking in the small hours of the property’s local time.

Run a pilot on one building

Connect the units, let the device summary fill in, and turn on the two or three rules that match work someone does by hand today: the checkout lock check, the cleaner code, the vacant setback. Then watch a few real turnovers. That’s the only test that matters.

The free trial runs 30 days with Starter features and no card. For more than twenty properties, or if you need SSO, custom onboarding or a security review, email contact@homatic.ai and we’ll set it up with you.

Common questions

Can staff be given some functions but not others?

Yes, and the model is per-capability rather than per-role: bookings, messaging, access codes, the guidebook, expenses, automations, device control and property editing are eight separate grants.

Can a manager run a function without the owner losing visibility?

A property manager can hold a function exclusively — the owner steps back from it while the manager runs it. Device provisioning, deleting a property and managing the team stay with the owner and cannot be delegated.

Is there a record of who unlocked what?

Every physical action is audited: locks and unlocks, whether a person or an automation did it, access codes created or revealed, and camera views and snapshots.

Do I have to share a vendor login with my staff?

No, and not having to is most of the reason this exists. Staff act through Homatic with the capabilities you granted, instead of through a shared SmartThings or Schlage password that cannot be scoped or revoked per person.

Can I group properties by building?

Yes. Buildings, complexes, portfolios and regions sit a level above the unit, and the dashboard scopes to one.
