I was accidentally locked out of home again, and I had to call a professional to open the lock.

But if someone was home, they could have just turned the knob of the door from inside. There's a device that can do that? It needs to do 3 full turns and it requires a bit of force to do that (armored door with iron bars that slide in every direction, so it has a big inertia to start)

I saw a ready solution on a store, the iseo x1r, but that costs 1000 euro + another 200 for the gateway (not mandatory but otherwise it uses proprietary Bluetooth protocol and so it can't talk with HA

Maybe just a spare key in a hidden lockbox outside?

You could also look at these.

With the WiFi add on it’s HA compatible.

But that's not with HA integration, still using a proprietary app. Lame

At some point way back when, Adafeuit was selling empty shells of the original lockitron... I really wished I'd gotten one of those!
