Connecting smart locks (igloohome)
Connect your igloohome (iglooaccess) account so Renta can issue self-expiring door codes for bookings.
Where to find it
Settings → Integrations → igloohome Smart Locks card
Connect your igloohome account and Renta can issue self-expiring door codes for bookings. The codes work offline, so there is no WiFi needed at the lock.
Where to find it
Settings → Integrations, the igloohome Smart Locks card. After connecting, Manage locks & delivery → opens the igloohome dashboard page.
How it works
- Client ID and Client Secret — copy both from your iglooaccess dashboard (under API Access), paste them in, and press Connect igloohome. The button stays greyed out until both are filled in.
- Status — Connected, Needs attention (with a message), or Not connected, plus Connected and Last sync dates.
- Disconnect — removes the link.
- Delivery (on the igloohome dashboard page) — how guests get their door code: Email, SMS (shown as "SMS not yet available"), Email + SMS, or Admin only (staff share it by hand).
- Pair each lock — choose Unit, Item, or Location next to a lock and pick which one it secures. You can also pair a lock to a unit while editing that rental item. If it says "No locks found on your iglooaccess account yet", add them in igloohome first.
Example
You rent gear from a storage unit with an igloohome lock. Connect igloohome, pair the lock to that item, and choose Email. Each booking then gets its own door code by email.
