Wondering if anyone has a security door like this

with a smart lock on it. I feel like I would need to install another smart lock on the inner door, otherwise, it would defeat the convenience of smart locks. Open to any solutions people have

    Yeah, I don’t like the idea of a key-only lock for any door that would be considered a fire route.

    I’d much rather go for a smart-deadbolt which also has a key option (in case of dead battery) on the inner door, and leave the outer/gate door unlocked when i.e. you’re only gone for a shorter time or if you’ve a rental which you need to provide code/keyless entry to.

    Alfred Z-Wave locks play fairly nicely with HASS in terms of lock/unlock and battery monitoring, though I don’t believe your can set codes that way. That do have a wireless gateway but it’s flakey and uses services hosted in AliCloud.
