I'm looking for a good, reliable smart lock for my home. The wife would like if it has wifi capabilities so she can make sure it's locked form home. Any suggestions?

I’ve been happy with my Eufy fingerprint lock. Has built in Wi-Fi. Pretty good app.

The physical keys are pretty non-standard, though. Hard/impossible to get additional keys cut.

But fingerprint works great. Keypad too.

Thanks for the reply I'll give it a look.

August locks have worked great for me so far.

Looks like this one just goes over your existing lock?

Sort of. If the existing lock model is compatible you replace the interior part of the lock with the August and it uses the existing mechanics of the lock.
