**The problem it solves** Vacation rental operators and boutique hotel managers must juggle multiple device-specific apps for smart locks, thermostats, noise monitors, and other IoT hardware, while also manually triggering device resets, access code generation, and guest communications between stays. **What Lynx does** Lynx is a smart home and hospitality automation platform that gives vacation rental operators and hotels a unified interface for managing connected devices, guest access, and booking-triggered operational workflows across a property portfolio. **How it works** Lynx integrates with hundreds of smart device brands and connects to PMS platforms including Hostaway, Guesty, Hostfully, and Lodgify. Booking events from the PMS automatically trigger device actions: generating unique time-bounded access codes and digital mobile keys for all major smart lock brands, resetting thermostats, adjusting lights, and sending staff notifications. Smart TV control, energy management with configurable automation rules, noise and environment monitoring, and contactless check-in digital journeys are all managed from a single dashboard. Operators configure rules once; the platform executes them at each turnover without manual intervention. **Who it's for** Professional vacation rental managers and boutique hotel operators who want to automate the IoT and energy management layer of their properties without replacing existing PMS or device hardware.
