What Tedee actually is
Tedee is a Poland-based smart-lock vendor selling retrofit euro-profile cylinder locks (Tedee GO and Tedee PRO) with native PMS integrations for short-term rental operators. Hardware is sold as a one-time purchase rather than a SaaS subscription, and the lineup supports a broad smart-home ecosystem including Apple HomeKit, Google Home, Amazon Alexa via Matter, Home Assistant, and Fibaro alongside Guesty, Hostify, and Smoobu for rental code automation.
Core features
- Retrofit installation on existing euro-profile cylinders (no door drilling)
- Native Guesty, Hostify, and Smoobu PMS integrations for guest code automation
- Matter support (Amazon Alexa, Apple Home, Google Home, Samsung SmartThings)
- Apple HomeKit, Google Home, Fibaro, and Home Assistant compatibility
- Bridge-based HTTP API for local/remote control
- Optional keypad accessory for guest PIN access without the mobile app
Pros

Is Tedee right for you?
Honest per-segment take. Click any card for the full breakdown.
1–5 listings
Small portfolios
If you run 1–5 EU short-term rentals on euro-profile cylinders, Tedee gives you keyless guest access without ripping out your doors.

5–20 listings
Mid-sized portfolios
Workable for 6–50 EU units if you've standardized on euro-profile cylinders and one of the supported PMSes, but accessory pricing opacity makes total-cost planning harder at scale.

20–100 listings
Large portfolios
Large operators need transparent volume pricing, formal developer/API documentation, and proven enterprise support — none of which Tedee publishes on its vendor site.

Airbnb primary
Airbnb-first hosts
Tedee works fine for Airbnb-first hosts who use Guesty, Hostify, or Smoobu as their PMS layer, but there's no direct Airbnb-native integration — the code automation runs through your PMS.

Vrbo primary
Vrbo-first hosts
Same story as Airbnb — Vrbo bookings work through the supported PMS layer rather than via a direct Vrbo integration.

3+ channels
Multi-channel operators
Multi-channel operators get reasonable coverage if their PMS is Guesty, Hostify, or Smoobu — Tedee delegates channel breadth to the PMS layer.
