Smart lock for Airbnb in Texas

[Travis C.]

I recently bought an August Smartlock and am located in Texas which has some different code requirements for rental security devices.

The August Smartlock fits over the deadbolt and generates a code that the guest can use to access the premises. That is fine and dandy for the deadbolt, but the actual door knob has to be keyed and the device doesn't fit on the knob but the deadbolt. The guest would still have to have a key for the knob to get in.

I am 100% certain other Airbnb hosts have used August and other Smartlock in Texas for STR's but I just don't know any. Can someone answer my technical question please? This is a really odd thing. Thank you!!

Replace the door know with a non keyed one.

Then the deadbolt code is all they need to get in.
