Ability to adjust the pincode access time

=> Lead details only apply to checkin/out DATES, not times. We don’t currently have a way to send times from the Lead details to the lock providers.
On remote lock, the check-in and out time is used as the default check-in/ checkout.
PM wants to have the option to change the activated pincode time when he wants to offer early check in or late check out.

When the housekeepers confirm with the app that the house cleaning IS DONE, it would be nice with remotelock to have the option to allow guests who arrive early to have access to the house earlier automatically, they always make 2-3 attempts, which will allow the handle to sync and give access.

The real annoying this is when I adjust the times in remote lock, half the time Hostfully over rides that time and pushing it back to the normal check in time.

Any updates from Hostfully?? I’ve been waiting over a year for this implementation.

Jervis Systems has a feature that allows a checkin cushion, meaning if regular checkin is 4 pm, you can have lock access cushion set for 3pm so when a guests arrives at 3:54 you don't get calls with "I can't get in" or if you have a last minute text that says "hey we are 30 mins early can we get in?' You can say sure without needing to reset the access time. They are also less expensive than remote lock and can integrate with myQ garage access and smart thermostats!

this may be a function of the remotelock API.
I use jervis.systems for lock code management. I'm able there to specify the buffer time. it does appear to import the check-in times, but this is done at time of booking, so if we change it (say, after a guest is approved for early check-in or late check out) the codes don't get updated with the new check-in time,
but we set each property in jervis to activate the code 1 hour before check-in and 1 hour after checkout but you can set this per property.
I'm not sure, but perhaps remotelock has similar setting?

This is a no-brainer addition that should be added. 10 minutes of programming time that will save me a few hours per month and have happier guests. There's no reason I should have to manually adjust times in remote lock for guests who want early check-in or late checkout. Thanks for looking into this.
