Depends on your level of trust. I trust the sensor to tell me the door is open/closed (which is a concern to know if people are actually coming in or out - can’t do that with the door closed)… I don’t trust a smart lock to always lock or unlock when I want it to, and those are the things that will give you a locked/unlocked status report. If anybody really wants to get in/out of our house it doesn’t matter if the doors are locked or not, they can always break a window.
so you use it for security? wouldn’t it make more sense to detect if the locks are locked?
