Smart Lock Suggestions (self.homeautomation)

I'm looking for a good, reliable smart lock for my home. The wife would like if it has wifi capabilities so she can make sure it's locked form home. Any suggestions?

Schlage encode plus has been top-notch for me so far! Main downside is it’s not going to get a matter update anymore - Schlage plans on releasing updated hardware with that functionality (date tbd)

I actually had a look at this one. So expensive here though, like $400CAD.

Yeah they are definitely the more expensive route. But with that, you definitely get a more reliable product. The Yale/august products are a close second place at a price that is easier to swallow, but there are more issues reported online about reliability.

Figured the added price was worthwhile for the price of mind of not ever risking getting locked out, but chances are you’ll be completely satisfied with one of the more reasonably priced options!

Having the piece of mind might actually be worth it. Thanks for all the information.
