I'm looking at getting smart locks for my front and back door, but don't know what to look for. Hopefully something with a keypad, so I can give friends a code to get in, and a RFID badge, so I can easily get in and out. Any suggestions are welcome!

It depends on which other smart home stuff you are using also. I use Apple Homekit, and Schlage Encode Plus has been perfect. Keypad, key backup, and uses Thread instead of WiFi for quicker performance and better battery. It doesn't require Apple products, but does have Apple Homekey function which is nice.

Yeah if you already have a HomeKit setup Apple Homekey is definitely a must
