August Smart Lock Pro + Connect w/ Keypad Bundle Expired

They also invented a rock for the window.

I can't tell if you're serious or you're trolling. The reason people mention the rock through the window isn't for comedic effect. It's to signify that your security is only as strong as your weakest point. You can spend a million dollars on a steel door and a door lock, but if you have windows to enter, people will go through your windows. Thieves will do whatever is easiest. The point is that you're not paying more for the security. You're paying more for convenience of entering and leaving i.e. hands free with your phone. People who complain about it being hacked act like every average person knows how to do it. It's like saying hey, banks can be robbed, nobody should use banks!

"Why put a lock on your door at all?" Seriously? There's a huge difference between having someone break in vs leaving your door open. What, are you gonna file a police report of a theft and say, hey, I let them in, they stole my stuff, can you please get them for me?

Lock warranties. Your argument is that it's too expensive with a short warranty. You're right, it shouldn't break within a short period of time. But I'm sure other people have had their locks for years without any issues otherwise there would be tons of negative reviews on this item, and people would avoid this like the plague. You don't buy things hoping they last their warranty. You buy things hoping they work, period. The warranty is just in case things happen. So you're literally just unlucky.

I have this setup and it's great for letting my housekeeper in without her having a key to the home. The app lets you create unique codes for each end-user, and keep track of when the codes were entered. Wouldn't be hard to create a code for a guest, then delete it as soon as as the rental was over.
