The key lock on my house has been reliable for 25 years. Ditto my thermostat. Why would anyone spend $270 for a lock that won't let you in?
Our cabin came with a smart thermostat that guests were always leaving in weird states. I replaced it with a simple one that has a dial to set temperature, and one switch for the fan, ON-AUTO. It had another switch OFF-HEAT-AC but I removed that one, so the heat is always on and can't be set below 40F.
Seems like some people have enough "smart" gadgets that they can't do anything without their phone.
I bet Google knows when you come and go, knows what temperature you like, knows what food you order, knows where you go, knows what you buy, reads your email, puts all that info together.
