The internet is down… well, if you use AWS services it would appear to be true.

Things such as Alexa (now working again?), Ring, etc are either slow or not responding whilst they try to get things running again

    All hardware people buy smart locks because they know locks are super easy breakable and pickable.

    All software people buy keys, since they know software has bugs and you can get in easily.

    So what are you?

    My goal has always been to have a better lock than the neighbours

      I’m on team “I’m definitely going to forget to lock my doors so it’s probably worth the decrease in security to ensure that they’re at least locked when I leave the house.”

      I’m also on team it’d be easier to just smash the window while I’m at work than learn how to pick a lock.

      My bro bought my mom a smart lock. It has a bypass key. Worst of both worlds?

      My concern is losing track of keys. I’ve lived in the same house for quite a few years and am far beyond time to rekey. Neighbors have keys, my ex has keys, as does her mom, kids went through so many keys, lawn service, several cleaners, etc. at this point I’m sure I lost track of some.

      I like the idea of a smart lock where I can issue and revoke keys at will. It would also be nice to schedule keys, like the house cleaner’s key only works on the day I’m expecting her

        We personally have a smart lock. And just giving a time and date window code to the Pet caretaker is super awesome. Also a lot of friends have a personal code but van only enter during day time. We also sometimes forget to fully lock, or use the night lock. But with an (local and EU-based) smart lock that problem is also solved.

      I don’t bother with the quality of the lock because I recognize the door itself as the weak point.

        Smart, investing in a proper door do be verry expensive.

        A fully 3/3 EU stared door only means it can hold someone out for 5 minutes. And your door is as week as the weekest point
