Abstract
Disclosed herein are various embodiments of an electronic lockbox for storing keys and key cards. The lockbox may include calendar-based entry rules so that the key codes can differ based on the date and time. The lockbox may be controllable by a mobile device such as a mobile phone, tablet, or other mobile device. The lockbox may include functionality so that key codes for the lockbox can be transmitted via websites such as Airbnb, HomeAway, or other rental websites, so that guests automatically receive their unique lockbox codes when they confirm their reservations. The lockbox may also receive a Bluetooth low energy virtual key which may be transmitted directly from a user's mobile phone to the lockbox, so that no manual code entry through the keypad is required by a user. The lockbox may be capable of accepting multiple passcodes enabled at different times and dates, and for different purposes.
