The internet is down... well, if you use AWS services it would appear to be true.

Things such as Alexa (now working again?), Ring, etc are either slow or not responding whilst they try to get things running again

I would buy a smart lock that has a locking, but no unlocking, function.

I've definitely forgotten to lock door(s) chasing after a toddler, something that would allow the locks to automatically lock behind me would be great.

I would go for something that tells me about the status of a lock. Like a door open/close sensor. But I wouldn't give it any control.

That would work for my use case too.

"No one home, but you left the door unlocked. Dummy"
