Smart Access: Keyless Entry and Reservation-Aware Access.

Explore the owner perspective, operating details and practical next questions behind this guide. When you are ready, carry the facts of your home into a secure property-specific conversation.

Existing owner? Access your Owner Portal

How can access be managed without turning every stay into a code-coordination task?For an eligible, configured home, the platform can create reservation-aware guest credentials and scheduled vendor access. Guest and vendor credentials are intended to follow the approved stay or service window. An owner credential, if enabled, is a separately governed owner-control setting — not a guest or vendor code — and its setup, access rights and change process are confirmed during onboarding.

What is included

What this program brings into your property's operation.

Reservation-aware credentials

Configured guest access can be associated with a confirmed stay instead of relying on a broadly shared entry code.

  • Credentials that can align with the property's approved arrival and departure process
  • Distribution through the approved communication flow for the reservation window rather than a standing house code
  • Access roles organised around distinct guest, service and owner use cases

Scheduled service access

Vendor and housekeeping visits can be planned around an approved service window where the lock and workflow support it.

  • Time-bounded access for scheduled housekeeping or maintenance visits
  • Assignment only where the service plan and lock configuration support it
  • Access events and exceptions reviewed through the configured platform

Owner controls and activity visibility

An owner credential may be configured separately from guest and vendor credentials.

  • The owner-control process is reviewed for the home
  • Owner access remains subject to the home's approved controls
  • Connected-lock event history may give the operating team context; available event detail depends on the equipment and configuration
Hardware standard. The program may use a Yale Assure Lock 2 in Satin Nickel or Matte Black. Door preparation, deadbolt type, wiring, connectivity and installation fit require a property check.

What changes for the owner

Guest, service and owner access stop sharing one code.

Access, by role

Three roles, governed separately.

Access decisions are organised around distinct guest, service and owner roles rather than one broadly shared code.

Fit, reviewed

Lock and door fit visible before you rely on it.

The installation review makes lock and door fit visible before an owner relies on an automation workflow.

Events, in context

Context when an access question comes up.

Connected-lock event history may give the operating team useful context when resolving an access question. Available event detail depends on the equipment and configuration.

Smart Access onboarding lens

  • “The useful design question is not simply whether a lock has a keypad; it is whether guest, vendor and owner access can be governed separately for this home.”
  • This is an operating lens and does not guarantee a particular response outcome.

How the program takes shape

The operating sequence for your home.

This is the owner-facing sequence for reviewing the property, confirming the plan and revisiting it as the home's needs change.

  1. Step 1

    During onboarding, Casago reviews the exterior door, deadbolt and bore alignment, Wi-Fi reach, owner-use pattern and approved access roles.

  2. Step 2

    After an eligible lock is installed and connected, a confirmed reservation can trigger the configured guest-credential workflow.

  3. Step 3

    Guest credentials are distributed through the approved communication flow for the reservation window rather than shared as a standing house code.

  4. Step 4

    Scheduled housekeeping or maintenance visits can be assigned their own time-bounded access workflow when the service plan and lock configuration support it.

  5. Step 5

    The operating team reviews access events and exceptions through the configured platform, while owner access remains subject to the home's approved controls.

What to validate for your home

What we review, and what to bring.

What the property review covers

  • Door, deadbolt, bore alignment and non-standard hardware
  • Wi-Fi reach and the battery or outage fallback plan
  • Guest, vendor and owner access roles
  • Arrival messages and the exception-handling process

Bring these answers to your property-plan conversation

  • Confirm exterior door type, deadbolt and bore alignment, and whether there are non-standard or mortise hardware requirements.
  • Identify the owner-use, guest, housekeeping and maintenance access roles that need to be supported.
  • Check Wi-Fi reach at the entry and agree on the guest-arrival communication process.
  • Ask how an owner credential is configured, changed and separated from guest and vendor credentials.
Pricing and eligibility: current equipment and program terms confirmed for your home. Your property proposal confirms the equipment, any installation work, access-workflow scope and current terms. Program availability, equipment, configuration, response workflow and current terms are confirmed for the individual home during onboarding.

Decision questions

What to settle before launch.

Four questions worth answering with the local team before a lock workflow is part of the plan.

Decision areaWhat to look forProgram approach
Guest entryHow are guest credentials created, delivered and governed for each approved stay?A configured reservation-aware credential workflow
Service accessHow are housekeeping and vendor access windows set and governed for approved work?A scheduled access approach when supported by the property setup
Owner useHow are owner access rights configured, changed and kept separate from guest and service access?A separately governed owner credential can be discussed during setup
EligibilityHas the door type, connectivity and installation fit been reviewed before hardware is selected?Door type, connectivity and installation fit are reviewed first

Questions owners ask about Smart Access

Can I have an owner code while guest codes expire?

Potentially. The owner credential is a separate owner-control setting, distinct from the guest and vendor credential workflow. The local team should confirm the lock configuration, access rights and change process for your home.

Will the lock work during an internet outage?

Connected-lock behavior during an outage depends on the lock model, battery condition, prior credential synchronization, and property configuration. Review the home's fallback and support plan during installation rather than relying on a universal outage claim.

Can my existing lock be connected?

Compatibility depends on the existing lock, door preparation, connectivity, and platform support. The team should complete an installation check before confirming reuse or replacement.
