Go ask a locksmith what kind of smart lock he has on his own house. After he's done laughing at you he'll explain why they're a stupid idea.
I've watched the Lock Picking Lawyer for years and he picks every lock sent his way. Obviously you add an additional vector of attack with smart locks, but also you unlock things. Like for example, for disabled people or people that otherwise require care and assistance.
Obviously there are use cases where the tradeoff makes sense, but you wouldn't suggest everyone uses a wheelchair all the time either.
I love smart things around the house. I will never use a smart door lock.
Google just gets more data from your phone and now also knows when you cone and go from your house, and who you allow to come and go from your house.
All fun and games until the FBI or ICE uses these keys to get into your house. Or other malicious actors, let's see who does it first...
Why would they bother with this? Its much faster and more fun to ruin your door frame with a ram.
that is true
