When you want to let someone else in?

If there's a person I want to be able to gain entry to my property when I'm not there then I'll give them a key.

It just seems like a solution in search of a problem. Worse still it's a solution that might be hacked. Security locks, and key safes are far cheaper and much safer.

If someone wants to get into my house they can break a window. I’m more concerned about my money being stolen remotely than someone unlocking a smart door lock. The use case is for the person cleaning your house. Many people would leave their door unlocked for cleaners to get inside.

Or give them a key.
