I offer an advertiser-independent service to my clients where I centralize their VR calendar updates and my server pushes any changes out to the advertising sites that they want to keep up-to-date.
This benefits both the Listing site (providing up-to-date availability) and my clients (they do not need to manually update the many different listing sites).
ResortLock and eRentalLock provide keypad locks that only let guests in if the current date/time is within the date/time encoded into the keycode that they enter. Nothing ever changes in the lock except the current time and the keycode can be generated separately - once installed you don't need to touch it again. The keycode factors in the unique serial number of your lock so it will nto work on other simila ones.
The lock providers offer an online way to generate the code - you log in, enter the dates and times and a code is produced for you. You would give this to the guest.

Automatic synchronization occurs overnight between 1am and 3am Eastern Time (GMT-5hrs). If the MyVRZone calendar is not in sync then either the calendar ID is incorrect or the calendar synchronization has been disabled in the setup. Try the following:
MyVRZone can automatically synchronize a HomeAwayConnect (rentors.org) calendar to itself and/or it can synchronize out to other advertisers. Here's a guide for choosing the right one for you.
