I was accidentally locked out of home again, and I had to call a professional to open the lock.

But if someone was home, they could have just turned the knob of the door from inside. There’s a device that can do that? It needs to do 3 full turns and it requires a bit of force to do that (armored door with iron bars that slide in every direction, so it has a big inertia to start)

I saw a ready solution on a store, the iseo x1r, but that costs 1000 euro + another 200 for the gateway (not mandatory but otherwise it uses proprietary Bluetooth protocol and so it can’t talk with HA

    Yeah, charging 50$ to enable hardware they already sold to you is quite something. My model didn’t have that option, it only has a bluetooth radio.

    Can’t complain about the build quality though. It’s been rock solid for more than 2 years now, running on 4 rechargeable batteries which seem to last quite long. My first device was from a batch that apparently had radio problems that didn’t affect me, but they replaced it proactively anyway. Can’t really say anything bad about them from personal experience…
