How often do you need to revoke a key code?
Are ordinary physical keys actually inadequate for your use case?
(Companies go out of business and product lines are canceled. Tech of ten years ago looks clunky now.)
If I have a friend coming over, I'd like to be able to give them a time limited code to use. If I have a repairman coming over the same.
Physical keys work fine, but once I tasted the sweet freedom of giving a friend one of my backup codes so they could drop something off while I was across town was amazing.
Any z-wave or ZigBee lock like those from Schlage are great. You can then integrate it into Home Assistant where there are great integrations like keymaster that make it super simple to do management like what you've mentioned
Keep a key in an exterior combination safe or equivalent, those that need access for a little while get the code to that safe, then you change the code when they're done. Would that work?
