  Get yourself an August lock. It replaces the inside portion of the deadbolt and you can set it to automatically lock after a certain time (or distance) if you set up the Bluetooth/Wi-Fi/GPS feature and it will unlock when you get close to your front door on the way home. Bonus, you can give people temporary access (pet walkers, guests, etc) as well as unlock it and lock it remotely. Source: over 2 years ago

• Level Lock Updates?

  Anyone know if Level lock plans to adopt Thread support for the Bolt? I have contacted them in the past and they have not respond. I have wanted a HomeKit door lock but have never been a fan of the August one, mostly due to aesthetics, I like that with the Level lock I can keep my current hardware. I have had terrible experience with bluetooth only HomeKit devices. Source: almost 3 years ago
