Matter/Home Key smart locks: are any of them good yet or should i just get a regular lock?

(i’m not counting “Matter support promised” because I have been burned too many times for their promises to mean anything)

@samhenrigold smart locks are one area i am absolutely avoiding primarily because smart stuff never works flawlessly all of the time and also just the potential risks security wise 😬

@samhenrigold I enjoy the convenience and look of the Level locks that I have, but if your front door has sporadic internet/homepod coverage then you can lose features at random times. it has been consistent enough for me to leave the house without my physical key many times, and I am honestly not concerned about their security more than a regular lock because they’re easily pickable anyway. also they’re way too expensive

@samhenrigold The Schlege one (the first lock to support Home Key) works really well. I’ve been using it for over a year now.
