I was considering a smart lock for my (armored) front door, but just because there are some locks manufactured here in Italy that can be set to be controlled by external contacts.
Which means I could use and ESP or similar with esphome, now they also support wired, ethernet ones.
That's way more secure than the shitty lock I have now, I've seen videos of people picking that with a decoder device in 30 seconds.

    Locks are not secure anyway and even if it is the most secure lock ever built may I present a window. Most break ins at least when I did home alarms where smash window right beside door and unlock it.

    Again, my door is armored and I live in an apartment high up enough that climbing, while possible, is challenging.
    Together with non-flashy vehicles and the complete absence of anything valuable (besides RAM!), we're not an interesting target. Even if someone broke in they'd have to be an electronics enthusiast to find anything worth stealing.
