Does it work for short-term rental?

It’s perfect for that. Granting access with a PIN lets you control the timeframe when the code unlocks the door, and your guest does not need to install any app or create accounts.
In the coming weeks, the tedee keypad will gain integration with channel management platforms, allowing for automation of granting and sharing PINs with your visitors. The new feature will be enabled simply with a firmware update, free of charge.
