what happens when the battery runs out?
Our smart lock has an external 9v battery plug so the worst case is that you will have to walk to the store and buy a battery before you can unlock using the keypad.
But that hasn't happened to us yet because the lock will warn you before it runs out by beeping.
That's risky. Anyone who can access this can basically blow in some real voltage and power to burn the hardware.
Yeah and anyone can throw a rock through the window.
