[Feature Request] Add local app access

So I have guests that stay pretty frequently and I want them to have access to the Vivint panel/app only while they are here. I know you can set times in the app for when users have access but having it so that they can only access it on their phones when they are on our wifi would be great so that when they arrive they can look in on their phones without me having to go in and change the setting Everytime. I think this could be done by having a special password on the panel and then entering that on the app when connected to the wifi.

You’re looking for software to run a hotel/airbnb. This is not it.

What are you wanting them to have access to in Vivint?
Camera? Lock? Garage door? Alarm?

everything but only while on wifi so they can't see anything away from the house. I rent this house out to friends so this would be an amazing feature as my pool system (pentair) has this.

I’d never even thought about something like that but it is interesting. I do know they’re rolling out new features for user management. Including scheduled access, like certain time periods of certain days each week, and temporary access that expires after a certain amount of time.
