Smart Lock without Phone Home (partizle.com)

I've recently decided to up my security, but I don't want it to be an annoyance for the family to use. I also have an aversion to web hosted things, so I'd like something that is locally hosted/controlled, without a "Setup app"

I'm open to deadbolt and regular latch smart locks.

What options are out there? what do you use? do you like it?

I have the Wyze lock bolt and its pretty amazing.

  • No cloud features at all, infact it has no network access. Its completely offline. You can only connect to it via bluetooth to add users etc.
  • Can't be picked because - it has no key hole at all
  • Has a keypad to unlock via code, but
  • It has a super fast fingerprint reader - just touch and you're in. Only need the keypad if your fingers are wet and fingerprints fail to scan because of it (almost never)
  • Reasonably priced
