"Dumb" home devices work as expected for 25-50 years, and then you replace them.

"Smart" home devices work as expected for about a year and then they fail in new and exciting ways, and then you replace them.

The first thing I did when I bought my house was remove the Ring camera, but I left the keycode entry for the front door in place. Long story short, a few months later it locked me out of the house and shortly after I replaced it with a regular lock and key. Never again.

Someone at the Cirius Cybernetics Corporation had a good laugh at you.

Yeah probably the AAA locksmith I had to call as well.

Still cheaper than a new door, though usually not by much. I'd hate to have to tackle my front door, I think they stole it from Fort Knox and left the fold behind. That's the one door in this house that I'm never ever going to take off its hinges.
