What's the best smart lock?
>What if someone hacks it?
If someone is willing to hack your lock they'll just break the window, they're for home owner convenience

You don't get it; most people will use the same code for years and the wear and/or dirt makes it obvious what buttons were pushed, now instead of 1000 possible combinations it's only 16.

I'd look into cattle farms that are using rfid tags on their livestock, if your going to have smart locks go opensource so you can integrate lights curtains skylights w/e is clever.
bill gates has spoken about this idea in multiple tabloids, if it works for cows it will work for you.

Absolutely dumbfounded that people want these carbuncles anywhere near their property.
How is typing in a code or whatever any more convenient than a key?
And saying they will just beak window lol, no, if a burglar can easily get inside quickly and quietly without noise or destruction then they will do that, and guess what, your insurance isn't going to pay out either.
Thieves could easily carry around a big key and knock your door to get car keys but they don't, the spend a few thousand on signal repeaters to trick the car into starting and then drive away without the key. That's how much a quiet get away is worth to them.

I use pic related. It requires a smart phone, but it's more discreet than a number pad, and instead of changing the code, you can just revoke access on a case by case basis.

I just got a regular Schlage from home depot. being afraid of break-ins is a third-worlder mindset, there hasn't been a break-in in my neighborhood in over a decade because we don't let browns move in to any houses here. Just buy an expensive house in a nice neighborhood far away from any "bad schools" or "MLK jr blvd" and you'll be fine, what are you, poor?

It's helpful for renting too, I rent two of my bedrooms out and they each have their own code.

Those locks often have a very shitty backup manual lock that can be raked open as well as being able to be bypassed entirely by using a strong magnet to actuate the solenoid. Just get a good normal lock and don't worry about it. I can't think of anything that has ever been made better by being "smart".

I don't use smart locks, I use these.
No need for phone/app bullshit.
And you can't brute force the combo since it locks up for like 15 minutes after 4 or 5 failed codes.

It's actually super convenient. My car has keyless entry and push button start, and I leave the remote fob in the car when I'm at home. I leave my license and credit cards in my car since I only need them when I go out. And the entry doors on my house and garage/shop all have push button locks on them. I never have to carry anything in my pockets aside from my phone and all the micro-conveniences really add up.

Look very carefully at what you're buying. Manufacturers may rely on 'it's electronic, the customer will assume it's safe'.
When I went to boarding school one day they thought it would be a good idea to change all the locks for electric ones, with an RFID, probably so students don't loose expensive keys. What they installed was 2 plastic covers on the inside and outside on a motorized lock. The inside was a push button which would toggle the lock. The outside was an RFID thing. Ofc I had to try and it took 5 minutes:
Pop off the outside cover. Forget about that, not doing computers here. The through hole in the door still exists. Buttons are connected to the main unit by wiring with simple pinheader plugs.
You could unitonically reach for the wires going to the inside button with a wire, unplug them, pull the plug out the outside of the door, short them et voila. Once on the inside you could just put it all together again.
Yeah that was for indoor application but still: Do those people not think? At least add a divider plate when you have a button option.
Look out for attack vectors like that.

The areas you're describing only comprise like 20% of the country. There are vast swaths of area full of mostly white people and almost no crime. It's very nice and we don't have to worry about shit. The United States isn't only the garbage places the news shows you.
