I just replaced by deadbolt that had home automation capabilities. Couldn't be more confident in my choice.

C'mon anti-theft system, you had one job!

I hate to say it, but this is somewhat common for security measures. Anything that has low level control over a system is inherently an additional vector for attack, it increases your "attack surface".

Now if designed properly it can certainly be helpful and reduce your vulnerability, but bugs in the system could also leave a user more vulnerable than they were without the additional "protections".
