I'll wait until Lock Picking Lawyer says that any of these is something other than terrible. So far every smart lock he has evaluated has failed.

Smart = flawed

Most non-smart are too.

I own an Airbnb and found the Eufy smart lock to be extremely useful. Lock codes can be set remotely in the app with a start and end date. You can also use a fingerprint. The key is a style that can't be duplicated easily. It has an auto lock feature with a time delay setting. Camera and non-camera versions are available.
