@86ee8b2c // Remember the Alexa story from a month back, where an Amazon driver reported a racist remark from a Ring doorbell, Amazon suspended the homeowner's service, which shut down his "smart" home?  That likely included his smart lock...  Zero chance I'd put my home's lock on my WiFi and connect it to a cloud service.

Annoying though a locksmith can fix that problem for less than the cost of replacing your AC. 

 @86ee8b2c // If you're legit considering "digital only, no physical key", then a cloud company revoking your access to your own house would be more than "annoying" wouldn't it?  

Just the idea that it COULD happen, barring the reality that it probably never WOULD, is enough to get a "nah dawg" from me. 

 @b01d8f51 

If it happened, you’d just call a locksmith, though good chance the locks would still accept a code in the short term anyway, depending on the architecture. 

It’s better to have locks that refuse to open for bad reason (false negative) then locks that open when they shouldn’t (false positive).
