What happens if you can't install the app? If you don't have a smartphone? The build surely can't require you to get a smartphone to live in the building you're already living in? I don't live in the US so genuine questions.

I wonder if you could demand they provide the device you need to open your door, they provide a key fob for that reason.

Their product website lists using a door code (entered on a pad on the lock) or key cards as options alongside using their app on (presumably) Android or IOS.

Their solution may still suck and fail when some remote server fails or there is a power cut, but it doesn't require a smartphone.
