I'm looking at getting smart locks for my front and back door, but don't know what to look for. Hopefully something with a keypad, so I can give friends a code to get in, and a RFID badge, so I can easily get in and out. Any suggestions are welcome!

Schlage encode plus is fantastic, especially if you have an iPhone to utilize homekey to tap your phone/watch to unlock.

It generally has better reviews online than the Yale locks, but the benefit is greatly diminished if you don’t use iOS. Also - it’s wifi only, no zwave or zigbee. Originally promised a software update for Matter, but apparently something in the standard changed and will now have to be an updated SKU.
