Go analog.
A mechanical lock vendor makes a mistake, one series of locks break or can be unlocked. Criminals still have to find them.
A "smart" lock vendor makes a mistake, all locks are unlocked or broken. Criminals can compromise them remotely, with full location available.
I’m a car mechanic and that’s why I use a horse!
Your comment is proof you don’t work in IT as long as I do.
At some point you simply can’t laugh again and again about the same jokes and start to ask yourself if we as IT should really continue to laugh about all that bullshit or if we shouldn’t be the ones providing solutions.

@Newk
So tell us what is your solution to the smart lock vendor leaking secrets or hardcoding API tokens that expose the entire product base and management cloud to full control of criminals?
Or just go bankrupt and shut down their servers?
The latest advice from the smart lock vendor when they did exactly that is
...
wait for it..
...
...
"install a mechanical lock"
For some of those things there are solutions. The rest our profession should be working on instead of bitching about it.
@Newk Still waiting for you to type up a solution here.
Answering "One has to work" means you don't have a solution.
You have a desire for someone to make a solution.
Did I ever say I have a solution to any of the details you imagine the original poster meant?
I just think it’s too easy and extreme to say fuck everything tech and life like an Amish.
I personally don’t use a smart lock. But I’d say the solution is not to not use them. The solution is for IT to develop a secure alternative. Don’t buy shit you don’t trust. Make something you trust.
@Newk I agree with you that things should be *much* better built. It's my daily quarrel with people at work.
As to trusting things or choosing to go analog, to each their own level of personal risk acceptance.
As long as they are aware of what the risks are, which also seems to be open for debate.
