Strikes me that a simpler product might be more attractive: i) a doorbell you can switch off when you don't want to be disturbed ii) a lock you can control with your phone.


As soon as it interfaces with a lock, you're talking about a high degree of mechanical complexity and hassle to install, at which point you might as well chase the high end of the market with every bell and whistle possible.


Just because the tech is complex doesn't mean the customer proposition or feature set should be.
