U use the setup together with a lock at an Airbnb property.
At first I did not want to get the August Connect due to all the negative reviews, thinking it will be just a waste.
After running in to some issues with people not being able to open the door, I decided that I need the ability to lock and unlock remotely, so I bit the bullet. Should have done it Earlier! This thing works great! Yes, I had issues with connection, tried a few different spots and was able to find an outlet with a direct line of sight with the lock, shows weak connection but works great. I know when people leave or enter, I know when door is open or closed and I can remotely control the lock.
If you have a good line of sight outlet no more than 10 feet away, buy this, you won't regret it!
