The TV your guests turn on first becomes the welcome screen: their names, the Wi-Fi QR code, house rules, checkout time, and the best spots nearby — updated for every booking from your phone, and earning from local restaurants and tours between stays.
How it works
1
Put PiAds on your TV
Install the PiAds Player on a Fire TV Stick, an Android TV or Google TV, or open it in the TV's browser. The TV shows a short code — type it into the Guests page and the screen is yours.
2
Set up the welcome screen
Fill in the guest's name, your welcome message, the Wi-Fi details, checkout time, house notes, and local picks chosen from real Google listings. A live preview shows the TV as you type. Save and it's up.
3
Collect guest emails
The TV shows a QR code. Guests scan it, give a name and email, and then see the Wi-Fi and house guide. You get an email for each new guest and can export the whole list as CSV. PiAds never emails them — that's yours.
ONE HOME OR A WHOLE COLLECTION
Start with one guide.
Make every stay yours.
Try it with your next arrival. Create a guide that feels like your place, then bring it into PiAds when you’re ready to welcome guests on the TV.

Managing several properties? Let’s talkGuest Welcome Screen
Guests walk in, the TV says hello by name, and the Wi-Fi QR code is right there — no laminated card, no 'what's the password' text at 11pm. Update the names from your phone before each check-in, or reuse a standing template.
Wi-Fi & House Rules Card
Scan-to-join Wi-Fi, quiet hours, trash day, checkout time, and how the thermostat works — the questions that generate 80% of your messages, answered on the screen before anyone asks.
Local Picks Rotator
Your favorite taco spot, the coffee place that opens early, the kayak rental down the road. A rotating loop of recommendations makes the stay better — and the five-star review more likely.
Turnover Refresh
New guest name, new dates, new checkout time — edit the welcome screen on the Guests page and it changes on the TV as soon as you save. A turnover takes about as long as reading the booking.
Recommended-Business Slots
The restaurants and tours you already recommend will pay to be on your screen. Approve each one, decide when they show, and keep 70% of every booking — across every property you manage.
The only signage that pays you back
A rental TV is the most-trusted screen a guest sees all trip — they act on what it recommends. PiAds turns that into income: local restaurants, tours, and rentals book slots through the marketplace, you approve each one, and 70% of the revenue is yours. For managers with several units, one sponsor across all properties adds up fast.

Digital signage for short-term rentals, answered
Can the welcome screen change for each guest?
Yes — update names and dates from your phone before check-in, or run a standing welcome template that doesn't need touching. Many hosts do a 30-second edit on turnover day.
How do guests join the Wi-Fi?
Put a Wi-Fi QR code on the welcome screen. Guests scan it with their phone camera and connect without typing a password. Generate the code once and it lives in your media library.
What hardware do I need?
The TV already in the unit plus a Fire TV Stick (PiAds runs natively), an Android TV, a Raspberry Pi, or a browser. Most rentals already have a stick plugged in.
Can guests still watch Netflix?
Yes. PiAds runs as an app on the stick — guests switch to it or back to their streaming apps like any other input. Many hosts set the welcome screen as the default on power-on.
I manage multiple properties — can I see them all?
Every unit's screen lives in one dashboard with live online status. Update one property or push a change to all of them at once.
Will ads bother my guests?
You approve every ad and choose when they appear. Most hosts run their own content 90% of the time with a couple of genuinely useful local partners mixed in — the same places they'd recommend anyway.
What does it cost?
$0 for participating screens that enable approved marketplace ad slots. Hosts keep 70% of cleared ad revenue.
What if the unit's Wi-Fi drops?
The player keeps showing cached content and re-syncs when the connection returns. The Wi-Fi card stays on screen — which is exactly when guests need it.
