The Ultraloq is the smart lock we'd personally recommend to our friends and family, thanks to its multiple access options via phone app, keypad, fingerprint sensor, and physical keyway. Although it's not compatible with HomeKit or SmartThings, you can still connect to the lock using Alexa and Google Assistant via the Wi-Fi bridge—which allows for remote access and notifications when the door locks and unlocks.
