So, got a smart lock last year, and it's been mostly good vibes. Just make sure to pick a reputable brand – I went with August, no major issues so far. One thing, though, gotta keep those software updates in check. They usually fix any security loopholes. Also, strong passwords are a must – don't go for "1234" or something. Overall, feeling safer with the tech, but gotta stay on top of things, you know?

It's essential to choose reputable brands with strong security protocols and keep your smart lock's firmware up to date to mitigate these risks.

Smart locks rely on power sources and internet connectivity to function properly. If the power goes out or there's an internet outage, you may lose access to your smart lock, potentially locking you out of your home. It's a good idea to have backup power sources
