Looking to upgrade keyless entry

Really looking to upgrade to battery powered access control to be more efficient and cut costs during turnovers. What is everyone else out there using?

I love the keyless entry.

What I don't love:

1. if you don't have wifi at your property (ie: not a short term or vacation rental) you likely don't have wifi access to control it.

2. If you are using battery powered you have to change codes often (one code for showing - should be deleted after showing season, one code for tenant that needs to be changed after each tenant) and you need to replace the batteries every time it goes vacant so that you don't end up with a tenant dead battery and a tenant locked out. I also like the battery powered lock boxes with a hard key option (just in case)
