I hate just posting because I have an axe to grind here but wifi locks for airbnb are an incredibly stupid thing to have for all sorts of reasons.

Just get normal locks and hire a damn property manager. When I used to work for an ISP in a resort town, our support desk would get tons of calls when power went out (a frequent issue there) or our service went out.

It was always property owners who lived multiple states away who couldn't get their renters access to their property. Always furious. Always without someone local who could let someone on to the property.

I'd rather keep the management fee and hide a key on my front lawn for emergencies. Remember the hidden rock key box?

What prevents someone from copying the key?
