I’m considering installing smart locks on my house’s exterior doors. I’m currently looking at the Lockin Veno Solar Face or the Lockly Visage Zeno.
My lifestyle is to always have the doors locked, and we unlock them when we go in or out, and then we re-lock the door behind us.
It seems that smart locks only “smart unlock” the door from the outside, and from the inside you must manually unlock it. I find that annoying and of such an insignificant increase in convenience over my current manual locks that is not worth it.
I suspect that locks that support ultra wide bandwidth (sense the presence of your phone/watch) would unlock from the inside a well as the outside, but I don’t want UWB.
Does anyone have experience with smart locks? Do any of them automate unlocking from inside as well as outside?
Do not buy smart locks that depend from a cloud service. Any other consideration is secondary.
What do you do when they will force a monthly subscription to unlock your doors? That’s pure P.K.Dick distopyan future.
Of r what do you do when the company decide to drop support for your otherwise perfectly working locks?
Yeah, local-only is a priority for me, but not what in curious about her. Thanks for the advice.
