I replaced my deadbolt with this Apple HomeKey smart lock - and it's an iPhone user's dream

• The Level Lock Pro is available for $350.
• This smart lock looks like a regular deadbolt, but supports Apple HomeKey, Matter-over-Thread, physical key, NFC fobs, and door status detection without extra sensors.
• You'll have to purchase a keypad separately if you prefer one to unlock, and Android users won't be able to use Apple HomeKey.
