Plenty of alarm systems have door (and window sensors) you don't need this to know if your door is closed. The issue with most of these "smart-locks" are that they are decent at one thing and bad at another, so often the lock is bad or the construction or the electronics. So what about scanning, burglers cloning the signal? What about lockpicking resistance? what about some background checking? As people are already complainging on fora that the lock has failed? with fingerprint reading not working or the batteries lasting only 2 montsh. The previous version of this lock was picked appart by the lockpickinglawyer in about 5 seconds flat, have those issues been adressed? A smart lock like this is a needless gimmick when the rest of the door can be easily bypassed. A thin pane of glass, no reinforcements in the doorframe and only 1 bolt to lock the door so you only need to put pressure on 1 point of the door to kick it open. All those expencive gadgets are held together with that 1 bolt? Why not get a door with multiple locking points (or what ever those are called where you live), you can lock the door with 1 keyhole but 1 bolt and 2 hooks will come from the door into the door frame (wich should be metal or reinforced with metal)
Noticing that no reviews, forum threads, or the Ultraloq store itself mention what features are lost when you use homekit directly. IE, can you manage users/fingerprints/etc from homekit directly, or is it just a dumb unlock/lock/status status?
I like the small profile of the lock. However, it would take a major amount of fascination to change the family from our Aqara U100. They love it.

You lost some weight there btw. Just saying.
What kind of Wi Fi does it support?
