    So I am about to buy a smart lock and I’m thinking of this one:
    Ultion Smart Danalock v3

    It has the following;

    Bluetooth 4.2, Z-Wave, Zigbee, 256bit AES Encryption

    Has anyone got one, working on Z-Wave or Zigbee??

    Anyone recommend an alternative, to work with Google (not Apple)

    I was at a cyber security lecture a year ago which would make me very slow to be entrusting my house security to these systems.

    There is a case in germany where burglars hacked a wifi doll belonging to a child which recorded the voice activation commands of the owner when operating his alarm. I'll let you work out what happened.

    The lecturer gave a doll to one of her students and told him to make a doll do something it shouldnt do. He came back to her 10 minutes later, job done and programming changed. The risks of wifi systems.

    I'm also looking for a smart look and haven't seen this one, look interesting! Pity that it doesn't support Google Assistant, yet! On their FAQ it says they plan to release a firmware update to support it by late 2020.
