Turn on Airbnb smart thermostat via text

How this automation works

This applet lets Airbnb and VRBO hosts text a tagged command to remotely turn the rental's A/C on for pre-cooling before guest arrival. It runs when you send IFTTT an SMS tagged with your keyword, using Sensibo to turn the A/C on in the selected room. Save time and guarantee a comfortable welcome by pre-cooling with a smart thermostat for Airbnb hosts.
