This is probably the sole reason I went with an August (don't buy their doorbell, BTW), which effectively slips over the existing deadbolt knob. Now I just have to worry about August's BT/software/network stacks, but I don't have to wonder about how good the lock is. With something like the lock in the article, I have to worry about the tech side and how much effort they put into the lock. I almost wonder if, like so many tech "innovations" today, if they didn't just wrap some tech around an unvetted lock mechanism they found on Alibaba and called it day when the software worked.
