Recommendations for smart deadbolts? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I use Google Assistant for most of my home automation. Does anyone have any particular models they recommend for deadbolts? I'd like to be able to automatically lock my front door when I go to sleep.

I’m happy with Yale’s offerings. The best part is that they sell the wireless modules separately so that you can swap between zigbee, zwave, home kit and WiFi without disassembling the whole lock.

Honestly OP, there are enough good offerings in this space that you can probably prioritize things like aesthetics ahead of reliability
