Smart lighting means app- or voice-controlled lights (colour-changing, schedulable, remotely controllable) — a modern convenience feature that tech-forward travellers specifically look for, distinct from simply "lighting" as a generic amenity. Airbnb has no smart-home filter category at all.
When you open Airbnb's search filter panel, you'll see options for basic amenities like "Wifi" and "Pool." But for more specific features like Smart Lighting, the filter may not appear at all — or it's buried so deep that most travellers never find it. Airbnb has assigned an internal amenity code to Smart Lighting (code: 551), but their UI simply doesn't expose it.
This forces travellers into one of two bad options: read through every listing description hoping the host mentioned it, or book somewhere and discover the amenity isn't available after you arrive.
How CustomBNB Lets You Filter by Smart Lighting
CustomBNB aggregates all of Airbnb's internal amenity codes — including Smart Lighting (code 551) — and surfaces them through a simple, searchable interface. When you click the search button, CustomBNB generates an Airbnb URL with the amenity code appended, sending you directly to pre-filtered results on Airbnb's platform.
You're not leaving Airbnb's ecosystem — you're just arriving with your filters already set. CustomBNB requires no account to try, and takes under 30 seconds. For a deeper look at how Airbnb's hidden filter system works, read our complete guide to Airbnb's hidden amenity codes.

Tips for Booking an Airbnb with Smart Lighting
Verify the Smart Lighting before you commit
Airbnb amenities are self-reported by hosts. Before booking, scan the listing photos for the Smart Lighting, check that recent reviews mention it positively, and read the "Things to know" section for any caveats. A filter match is a starting point — not a guarantee.
Message the host to confirm if it's a dealbreaker
If Smart Lighting is essential to your trip, send the host a quick message before booking to confirm it's available and in working order for your dates. Most hosts respond within a few hours. Getting it in writing also protects you if there's a dispute after check-in.
What else to look for in the listing
Ask which smart home ecosystem it's tied to (some systems require the host's specific app) and confirm you'll actually have guest-level control rather than needing the host's login.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Airbnb have a Smart Lighting filter?
Airbnb assigns an internal amenity code to Smart Lighting (code 551), but it is not shown in their standard filter UI. The code exists in Airbnb's system and hosts use it to tag their listings — guests just can't access it through the normal search panel.
How do I search for an Airbnb with a Smart Lighting?
The easiest way is to use CustomBNB. Visit custombnb.app, select Smart Lighting from the filter list, and click "Search Airbnb." You'll land directly on Airbnb with the Smart Lighting filter already applied.
Can I combine the Smart Lighting filter with other amenities?
Yes — CustomBNB lets you stack multiple amenity filters simultaneously. You can combine Smart Lighting with pool, sauna, beachfront, or any of 490+ other filters to generate a single Airbnb search URL showing only listings that match every amenity you selected.
Combine Smart Lighting with Other Amenity Filters
One of CustomBNB's most useful features is multi-filter stacking. Select Smart Lighting alongside any other amenity and CustomBNB builds a single Airbnb URL that returns only listings matching all of them.
Popular Smart Lighting combinations
For romantic getaways
