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

    Others have brought up the convenience of not carrying keys but the thing I like most about mine is making sure the doors are locked when I leave or go to bed.

      This. If they sold a dumb lock that just reported whether it was locked or unlocked I would buy it in a heartbeat.

        I used to think this but I really like that my car unlocks as I approach it! I understand the risk there but damn is that convenient.

        But my other use case is my kids. They’re legally adult yet still can’t seem to remember to bring their keys. Those idiots keep putting a hide-a-key in an extremely obvious spot. But they always bring their phone

        It’s worth it the first time you think “wait, did I lock the front door?” and don’t have to get out of bed.
