Best Local Smart Lock for Privacy/Security (lemmy.ml)

I’m solidly leaning towards a Schlage Connect Lock due to its local only Zwave capabilities (which has the benefit of also extending battery life). I was strongly considering the Aqara U100 for its many features, but based on what I’ve seen I can foresee it being a nightmare to get working locally with home assistant and the need for a phone app makes me fear for long term support.

I use the Schlage Encode for other houses and love the way it looks and how easy it is to setup and use. I really wish they would make a Zwave version with the same hardware.

So before I jump in and buy the Schlage Connect, is there anybody who has experience with either of the locks I’ve mentioned? Feel free to chime in if you have a different lock that you think beats out these.

If my experience in both IT and lock picking has taught me anything, it's to stay away from anything "smart" 'nd also don't secure your house with schlage or masterlock

Edit:

Abus, zeiss and squire are good choices in locks though
