Run every homestay unit from your phone. No key handovers.
A unique passcode per booking, power that cuts at checkout and a log of every entry. Eight units, zero trips.
For Airbnb hosts, short-term rental operators, vacation home owners.
Malaysia had 71,101 holiday homes operating in 2025, earning an estimated RM2.2 billion, and short-term rental supply grew by about a quarter in a year. More listings means more competition on reviews and margins. Hosts who still hand over keys and pay for empty-unit aircon lose on both.

What we install
What’s in an Avant Guard homestay unit
What guests can do
A guest arrives at 11pm and collects the access card from the mailbox with the PIN you sent. Inside, the lights are on, the aircon is running and the curtains are open. At checkout, the moment the door closes, the power cuts. Your cleaning team takes over with a time-limited passcode. No calls. No travel. Eight units, all managed from a phone.
From first call to handover
Common questions
Can I set a different PIN for every booking?
Yes — unique PIN per booking with a defined validity window. Expires automatically at checkout. No key reuse between guests.
What if a guest is locked out after midnight?
LOCAMESH™ locks work offline — guest re-enters with valid PIN at any time during their booking window without calling the host.
Will aircon turn off automatically at checkout?
Yes — smart card energy switch cuts all non-essential power when the guest removes their card, eliminating post-checkout utility waste.
Can I manage multiple homestay units from one account?
Yes — assign, modify, and revoke codes, view access logs, and monitor lock status across all units from one dashboard.
