I was initially hesitant to get a smart lock; I didn't like the idea of using an internet-connected product to control the main door. I have dozens of smart home products in the house, and while I don't mind using them, I'm still wary about security vulnerabilities, which is why I put all IoT devices in their own VLAN.
These fears proved unfounded once the Nuki Smart Lock Ultra showed up. I wasn't familiar with Nuki, but it's the rare smart home brand that cares about security. The Smart Lock Ultra comes with end-to-end encryption, I didn't have to set up an account to use it, and Nuki didn't ask for any data outside of what's needed to set up the device.
