Comment on The Current State of Smart Locks

Comments

I replaced all of my door locks with Samsung SHS-3320/SHS-3321. These are standard RFID and I can (and did) buy cards/fobs for them super cheap. You can even stick a fob inside your hand/arm/face/whatever if you like: https://dangerousthings.com/shop/xnt-ntag216-2x12mm-glass-ta...

I've been super happy with them with a single caveat. They don't have Z-Wave support. If they made these exact same locks with Z-Wave support I'd replace all of my locks immediately with them. I really would prefer Z-Wave primarily for programming purposes because the existing touch-screen programming can be a bit limiting and it would be nice to be able to combine watching visitors (dog walker or cleaning lady, etc) with allowing access remotely via z-wave (currently they all have their own codes).

That said these locks are rock-solid and I wouldn't give up the physical security that comes from their great construction for anything.
