Hi all,

So. Time for something new, a new research project.

What would be the best smart lock, do it yourself or a pre made one, for homey?

I’m probably going to create more type of these topics but for now this one is what is on my mind.

Cheers  
Victor

So far, I have only had to deal with the [tedee](https://tedee.com/shop/) smart lock, but I can honestly recommend it. The app is super responsive and can integrate with many systems. Even the auto-unlock works very well - only once did it get lost.

It is pretty expensive, but this translates into quality. Plus, it’s small and looks great (the black version on a dark door).
