I'm looking for a smart lock for my house and I've seen these at a pretty interesting price on Aliexpress (https://a.aliexpress.com/_mMbQRZx), it says that it can be controlled with the tuya app and I have some old plugs integrated from that app, but I also have a lamp that connects to that app but not to the home assistant. Does anyone know if I will have problems integrating this lock into my system? Does anyone have this model or similar?

thanks for the help

EDIT: Thank you all for your responses and help, this is a fantastic community.

I just want to tell you that security is not an issue for me right now, it is much more the combination of price/comfort and not depending on third parties whenever possible.

In any case, I have learned a lot from your answers and I took away important ideas to consider before making a purchase.

Watch the "Lockpicking Lawyer" on YT and see how quickly he opens such locks. For many smart locks you don't even need picking skills. A lot open to combing or raking, Or simply apply a strong magnet at the right place.
