Abstract:
A computing device may be configured to transition control over one or more functions of a rental unit to a user (e.g., a traveler) based on one or more of time, geo-location and access credentials. Access may be granted to the traveler to use one or more home automation functions including a HVAC system, a thermostat, lighting, security alarm, automated door locks, etc. An owner of the rental unit may have access to some or all of the home automation functions blocked during the traveler's stay at the rental unit, and at an end of the stay owner access to those functions may be enabled. Some functions may be activated prior to the traveler's arrival at the unit based on a time to arrival and/or distance from the unit. An application on a traveler's computing device may be configured to summon a repair service for the unit.

Claim (Index 15):
A system comprising:\n a communications interface; a computing device; and a data store storing executable instructions, wherein the communications interface provides communication between the computing device and the data store, and wherein the computing device is configured by the executable instructions to at least:\n access location data representing a location of a traveler computing device; \n determine an estimated time of arrival of the traveler computing device at a rental unit; \n receive pre-arrival activation data representing a criterion for activation of an automated function of the rental unit; \n determine a function activation time based at least partly on the estimated time of arrival and the criterion for activation of the automated function; \n determine an estimated location at which the traveler computing device is expected to be at the function activation time; \n determine a match between the function activation time and a time the traveler computing device arrives at the estimated location; and \n activate the automated function based at least partly on the match being determined.
