I’ve recently decided to up my security, but I don’t want it to be an annoyance for the family to use. I also have an aversion to web hosted things, so I’d like something that is locally hosted/controlled, without a “Setup app”

I’m open to deadbolt and regular latch smart locks.

What options are out there? what do you use? do you like it?

    Pretty much any Z-Wave lock like from Kiwkset, Schlage, Yale, etc. will do what you need provided you have a Z-Wave interface to HA already. No phone home for those devices.

      I will comment that the yale version 2 required an app(setup via Bluetooth), which I was less than thrilled about. But I just removed the app when done and just use my zwave.

    I have the Wyze lock bolt and its pretty amazing.

    • No cloud features at all, infact it has no network access. Its completely offline. You can only connect to it via bluetooth to add users etc.
    • Can’t be picked because - it has no key hole at all
    • Has a keypad to unlock via code, but
    • It has a super fast fingerprint reader - just touch and you’re in. Only need the keypad if your fingers are wet and fingerprints fail to scan because of it (almost never)
    • Reasonably priced

      How long do the batteries usually last on that one?

      My buddy has a “lockly” which seems a similar idea. Touchpad for codes with rotating numbers (they’re not in the same position every time), fingerprint access. It does have a key slot I believe.

      The app can be used for setting codes via Bluetooth, or you can set them yourself on the lock. Wifi can be added on with an accessory but isn’t required.

        Not sure on the batteries. I got it in July 2022, and threw in some rechargeable batteries, but have not had to charge them yet. Guess they last at least a year then.

          That’s pretty good, actually.

    I’ve been looking for the same. Most of what I’ve seen is homebrew stuff where the lock is in the wall and snaps into a slot or standout on the door. There are plenty of homebrew solutions for that which work using home-assistant or whatever, but I wish I could find more commercial solutions which are not using cloud and/or proprietary software.

    I’ve had a couple of Kwikset 920 Z-wave locks and they are solid. All local, good integration with HA security, no phoning home.
