Ideal for [Airbnb](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lockly-flex-touch-pro) hosts or travelers, the box works by being affixed onto the doorknob or handle and keeping a set of keys within securely stowed for authorized users to access whenever they require. Homeowners can seamlessly control access to the lock box via their smartphone to automatically allow or restrict access based on their needs. Users can access the internal compartment with a PIN code or through a Bluetooth key that the homeowner can share with them to streamline access. The 'Populife' smart key box features an IP65 rating to ensure it's ready to withstand the elements, has a one-year battery life, works offline and much more. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 51% | Activity: 38% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Connected Key Storage:** Creating opportunities for keyless entry and remote access for secure environments. - **Smart Home Security:** Advancements in connected security devices to provide a seamless and secure living experience. - **Airbnb Hosting Tech:** Innovations in connected devices for hosts to provide seamless check-in and check-out experiences for their guests. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Smart Home Technology:** Developing keyless entry and remote access technology for hassle-free property management. - **Vacation Rental:** Creating keyless access solutions to help property owners provide secure and seamless experiences for renters. - **Home Security Systems:** Developing seamless security solutions to provide peace of mind for homeowners and renters. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Connected Porch Package Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-delivery-box.md) - [Connected Auto-Locking Door Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nuki-smart-lock-20.md) - [Connected Package Delivery Safes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doorbox-smart-delivery-box.md) - [Next-Level Digital Lock Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/proximkey.md) - [Smartphone-Centric Smart Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schlage-encode-plus.md) - [Connected Key-Free Personal Safes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-biometric-personal-safe.md) - [Easy-to-Install Smart Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ezviz-dl01s-smart-diy-lock.md) - [Ultra-Secure Connected Door Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/netatmo-smart-door-lock-and-keys.md) - [Minimalist Biometric Door Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aqara-u100-smart-lock.md)
