I mostly blame my naiveness in humanity and eagerness to get the project going.. here are many of the items (not all):All 3 HVAC units went out in the first 3 monthsBoth "high end" endless water heaters died within 6 monthsThe 1918  LEAD pipe entering the home burstSome lighting was found to be battery operated instead of electricUnfortunately a rock from DC water entered the piping which resulted in multiple cancelations and major repairsNo insulation between the upper and lower unit resulting in numerous noise complaintsPitch incorrect in back yard which results in floodingPlumbing piping incorrectly sized throughout homeAll gas lines removed and everything replaced with electric to pass city inspection easier (only house on the st without gas)Oh yeah, furnishing a two units that can sleep a total of 16 people is not easy nor cheap (especially with a puppy).

I want one with a battery pack or solar panel that runs on cellular (not WiFi) and has two way communication.

All the good ones have a robust accounting module as part of the platform, so you'll be good to go. 

I'm sure battery backups would help with that at night. 

I have been in a bit of a rut since I lost one of my previous deals and reading your story helped to recharge my batteries. 

Well, I am an electrical engineer that builds batteries for electric vehicles.  

There is the added risk of transporting the module to the site.

I also have a lockbox that I would give guest access to in case the battery goes out in the smartlock or if they find a creative way to lock themselves out of the house with the deadbolt locked.

You can request from you solar contractor to have a grid-tied solar only system installed that is prepped (plug & play) for future battery implementation.
