Smart Lock without Phone Home (partizle.com)

9 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I've recently decided to up my security, but I don't want it to be an annoyance for the family to use. I also have an aversion to web hosted things, so I'd like something that is locally hosted/controlled, without a "Setup app"

I'm open to deadbolt and regular latch smart locks.

What options are out there? what do you use? do you like it?

How long do the batteries usually last on that one?

My buddy has a "lockly" which seems a similar idea. Touchpad for codes with rotating numbers (they're not in the same position every time), fingerprint access. It does have a key slot I believe.

The app can be used for setting codes via Bluetooth, or you can set them yourself on the lock. Wifi can be added on with an accessory but isn't required.

Not sure on the batteries. I got it in July 2022, and threw in some rechargeable batteries, but have not had to charge them yet. Guess they last at least a year then.

That's pretty good, actually.
