I have Yale lock similar to the first lock in the review I linked to. Easy to install. No complaints.

My house has the Schlage Sense. It links to an iphone and is supposedly homekit compatible.
I will stick to a traditional key lock .

When Siri and Alexa form a burglary ring and unlock your smart lock for their minions and rob you blind you'll be sorry.

I would not buy a Wi-Fi Smart lock unless it also has a key lock unless you have another entrance, back or side door that you can enter. Without, if the electronics fail, break a window, break the door, ......

We have one, can't remember the brand, but I can control it with the ADT app.
I like the 500 year old traditional key...

I finally bought it. It's a hybrid of smart and dumb lock, it is always locked if the batteries are installed and can be unlocked with a physical key, fingerprint, passcode or with the app via a Bluetooth connection. Should have done this way sooner.
Not interested in getting locked out out of my house for a post someplace that the lock company doesn't approve of.
I'll never get a smart lock, a smart thermostat, or even a smart toaster. Call me paranoid. And it's not only because the companies who install smart locks have terrible security problems.
That guy totally deserved it for installing a smart lock to begin with.
