Aqara's $99 Wi-Fi smart lock is a good-looking budget option
"Aqara's latest wireless smart lock features a sleek backlit keypad with support for Amazon Alexa and Google Home for the budget-friendly price of $99.99. With Wi-Fi built in, Aqara's B50 smart lock doesn't require a hub and offers a few different unlocking options, including the ability to enter a passcode, use voice commands, control it via an app, or use a physical key."
"You can also create one-time, recurring, or permanent PIN codes, as well as use an "anti-peek" feature to enter random digits before and after you type in a PIN to prevent other people from seeing your code. You can remotely monitor your lock status and PIN from the Aqara home app, too, as well as connect it to Matter platforms like Apple Home by linking it to an Aqara Matter hub."
"The smart lock uses four AA batteries, offering up to six months of battery life. If the battery runs out, you can plug a power bank into its built-in USB-C port or use a physical key as a backup. The Aqara B50 is only available at Lowe's in the US and on Aqara's website."
