We have an AirBnb with a Wyze Lock (deadbolt/keypad) and Gateway that work great. On occasion, however, a guest will unplug the Gateway (despite a label/warning on it), and we lose remote access and visibility.
Can anyone recommend a bracket or some physical device to secure the Gateway hardware to the outlet? All of my searches for “lock” bring up results regarding “Wyze Lock” which is making it harder to search. I have done basic Amazon and Home Depot product searches for some type of outlet bracket with no luck there either.
Obviously if you ever have to “Power cycle” the device you will need to snip and replace the zip tie.
But still pretty inexpensive approach . Also eliminating potential wifi dampening of a covering, not that I think a plastic box would block the signal much.
I do like the suggestion by @R.Good as this is cheap and simple in resolving your need without spending much $$$.
You could also install this in a closet by adding new wiring to a location that a customer is less likely to get to or an attic with a power source up there (Some have electrical boxes there).
There may be AirBnB customers who wish to unplug most electronic devices for fear of camera spying on them in a location they dont want to be seen.
Re: being defeatable with a screwdriver, I’m really just looking for low energy deterrence here so think this might do the trick. The hardest part will be screwing it to the face plate since that will be covered/blocked by the Gateway - although that should also make it less likely to get removed. Thanks!
No I think it will be easy. From a quick reading it looked like you can screw the adapter down before locking your regular plug into it. Oh and it’s also removable by squeezing it, so …
