> What I like about this lock is that ... But, most importantly, it can be locked/unlocked with a tap in Home Assistant.
This is the line I am not willing to cross.
Do I believe that the security of Home Assistant and the plugins that surface this to web/mobile interfaces is such that I'd risk the physical security of my home and possessions to it?
I love the Pi doorbell project, and could eventually be onboard with a home security company producing a smart lock I would consider... but enabling a lock via Home Assistant to grant access to the house, disable alarms, etc (assuming HA scripts like "when the door is unlocked disable alarm to prevent false positive", etc)... I suspect my insurance company would consider this an act of me leaving the door open and granting access to people who later stole stuff and that they wouldn't pay out.
