Am gizmo shopping and would like some smart door locks. Figured y’all might have some recommendations on things that play nice with Home Assistant if networked, and generally don’t suck.

Features I think I want (but open to opinions/suggestions):

  • physical key backup in addition to numerical keypad
  • rfid so we can use our lovely magic rings
  • enough distinct keypad codes that 4 family members and maybe half a dozen others can get their own
  • not fugly (current door hardware is black)
  • cheap enough that I can get 3 of them and still eat this month
  • I’m wary of Bluetooth, but that might be a holdover from old versions that used to be insecure af. Not really up on it any more from a security standpoint.

Any of the above can be compromised on if my assumptions are wrong. Open to any suggestions. Thanks in advance!

Oh cool man. Thanks for checking back in. I probably sat on this decision for a 2 or 3 weeks and about 2 years later I’m still happy.

Just the other day I went out my side door, and in the front. Didn’t have any phone, fob, keys, etc on me and the front door was locked. I was able to get in no problem and I thought to myself…man if I had a fob like I wanted I would be waking back around the house…so glad I got this thing lol.
