Ideally I’d like to be able to manage the lock using a open source self hosted home automation system.
If you have a favorite door lock, I’d love to hear it.
I used to use lockstate ($1 a month subscription): per user codes, notification when a code was used, time restricted codes, one time use codes… all very handy features
I use the new Yale Assure without keyways, it makes me feel like I’m blocking pickers but I realize that if someone wanted to break in they could just smash one of my many windows. I like the convenience of not having a key on me and being able to have the pet sitters and cleaning people let themselves in with their own codes so I know when they come and go, but that’s just me!
Note that smashing windows is a very shitty way to break into a house: it makes a lot of noise, very quickly raises suspicion of people passing by, getting into a house like that is harder, slower, you risk cutting yourself with random pieces of glass etc.
A person breaking into a house like that either knows precisely what they want and is prepared to act fast, or is an idiot who wants to go to jail
Fair, my point was that it’s hard to stop someone who is determined to actually get in… I refer everyone to infamous LPL episode 801 https://youtu.be/lod_LUp3ggc 😂😂😂
