igloohome × CheckYout
Your guest arrives and the place is already ready.
The moment cleaning is reported done, your guest gets a message: they can walk in. Their PIN already works. That is often hours before the official check-in, a nice extra for guests who arrive early.
How a turnover with igloohome and CheckYout runs
The previous guest checks out, your cleaner arrives. The moment they confirm "done", CheckYout sends your next guest the ready message. Their igloohome PIN works from that moment. They walk straight in, instead of waiting in a café until 16:00.
What is special about igloohome: the locks validate the PIN locally, without internet. Access stays reliable even at places with weak reception.
What you get out of it
Early arrivals become a plus
No more awkward "please wait until 16:00". Instead a "great, you can walk in".
Nothing to do by hand
PIN creation runs through iglooconnect and your booking system as usual. CheckYout plugs in at one place: the ready message after cleaning.
Works where reception is shaky
igloohome validates PINs right at the lock, without WiFi. For rentals in remote spots or basement units, that is often the decisive point.
What your guest gets
They stop planning their arrival day around check-in. Message lands, PIN works, door opens.
Also control it from the dashboard
With an igloohome Bridge you open the lock straight from CheckYout. Handy when a guest locks themselves out or you want to let someone in on short notice. Without a bridge the rest works normally, only remote unlock stays off.

Important: one-time setting in iglooconnect
For the early check-in effect to really land, set the PIN validity in iglooconnect to the previous guest’s check-out time (around 11:00) instead of the official check-in (16:00).
That way your guest’s PIN works from the moment cleaning is done, no matter how early. The ready message from CheckYout tells them so. Without this setting the PIN would only go live at 16:00 and the notification would not help your guest.
