Our verdict for large portfolios (20–100 listings)
Consider alternatives
At 30+ doors you should be on a smart-lock platform with native PMS sync and audit-grade access logs — Aqara's hardware-first model is not built for that workflow.
What might bite you
- No native PMS integration of any kind documented as of 2026-04-25
- Hub-per-property model adds operational overhead at fleet scale
- Aqara does not surface a published fleet/operator program
Best-for-you alternatives at this size
- Operto Access Okay fit — consider alternatives
Multi-unit operators and boutique hotels are Operto's stated sweet spot — one access-control layer over many properties, with bilateral integrations rather than DIY plumbing.

- RemoteLock Okay fit — consider alternatives
Scales technically but hardware reliability and support quality raise concerns at 20–100 units.
From $6/listing • No free trial · Solid access control platform held back by hardware reliability and support concerns
- August Home Consider alternatives
Not the right pick for 25+ units where reliability and battery life drive operational cost. RedAwning's data favors Yale Assure Lock 2 for high-volume rental deployments.
