Does anyone know of any smart locks that can be fully operated without having to use third-party-operated servers like Simpled (China), etc?
Or perhaps a cheap AliExpress unit that can be reflashed with open-source firmware?
And what about a RPi-based wifi bridge?
I have a RPi running Node-Red, but would happily install HA. Also happy to install another RPi closer to the lock in order to send data to the main RPi.
As you may be able to tell from my questions, I’m completely new to HA. (though I have lurked a couple years).
Thank you in advance for any help offered.
Dax.
