There are lots of choices out there that you can research online. If you have an alarm system like SimpliSafe they have a door lock that communicates with the alarm and gives you all the information you are looking for.

OP, when you decide to go this route, turn off the SSID on your WI-FI and consider changing your password to something very strong, you do not want some being able to crack your WI-FI and get access to your house.

I have the Ultraloq U-Bolt wifi lock. Have been very happy with it. We've had it about 6 years and it just stopped working, have to figure out what's wrong with it. With the app you can lock or unlocked it from anywhere you have internet, it also works with your finger print to unlock, although that can be finicky at times. Also opens with a code you can put in. You can also activate and deactivate anyone you put in at any time from your phone. Overall have been very happy with it, if I can't get it working again will probably replace with the same lock. Also bought one for my daughter a couple years ago and she really likes it. It also works with a key if the electronics stops working like mine.

We just installed a schlage wireless lock. and VT makes some very good points about wireless router settings.
Wasn't hard other than the door frame and deadbolt didn't align at all, as we put in a new door at the same time,
MA house. pleased as you enter the code and it automatically unlocks, no extra buttons to push

my big thing is, I want it to push a notification to me when the lock is activated by a code that I have given someone so that I can track who comes and goes,

I've used Schlage Encode smart wi-fi locks. Worked great. Using the app, you can setup alerts, view history, and add or delete additional codes anytime. All over the internet.

Kwikset makes a very nice lock. You can add different codes for different people. You can turn on the codes or turn them off from your phone. It will tell you what codes accessed your lock. You can open and lock door remotely. We are very pleased with ours. Was easy to install and set up.

Moving to TV in a month. Our current apartment has electronic deadbolts. You can set guest codes. There is an Activity log of opening & closing, and by whom. I don’t think it will notify in real time when accessed tho. That, I have a seperate camera that will notify me when tripped.

most will have that option, our schlage app does this, as we have the encode and have different codes active for different people, and it works fine.

If that is your concern, then google wireless door lock apps for iPhone. . and read the reviews.

Don’t have that type of system but use the key Pat to lock and unlock and have been satisfied but thanks for asking in the event I want to change.

We have a Ring doorbell which records a video, time in and out. On the inside we have Simpli Safe cameras (3) set up in different spots in the house. Ring doorbell sends a noise signal to our iphones. Simpli Safe does the same. We signed up for a monthly charge for the Ring, glad we did, but not for the cameras at this point. Wanted to see how how just a limited signal and record worked. Happy so far.

Local businesses like Village Alarm also offer this service with a security system.

I like the Eufy smart lock E330 where you can use a key, finger print reader, code, and or phone to open and close. It does about everything one would want of a smart lock with no online fees. The rechargeable battery goes a long time before needing to recharge. I use it in the Villages and at the condo in Hudson. And, have also installed it in two other Village friends house as it is very easy to install.

Another vote for the Schlage wireless and keyless locks. I have NO handyman skills and was able to install it myself. Been using it for a about 2 years with no problems. Seems to be a quality product.

I use the Yale Assure Lock 2 (wireless but also has a key option with it) - batteries do die.

If an electronic lock is used on a rental, what assurance would the renter have that the lock would not be remotely unlocked, potentially without the renter’s knowledge or consent?

Blank wifi ssids are easy to find, but cracking wpa2 is not.

That said, tall the locks I have seen require an app with a username and password.

Doing all that is too hard when breaking a window is easy. The window break can be done quite silently, but I will not post how.

The word of the owner. Same thing the owner gets that the renters will not steal stuff from the home.

Sounds like the owner who uses an electronic lock could be subject to an expensive lawsuit if anyone were to open that lock while the renter has domicile inside IMO.

Kwikset is nice, but the battery life is terrible.

Be sure your system includes an old fashion key so you can get in when the electricity or internet is off.

Battery operated and the codes should be stored in the lock - internet and power are not necessary.

Still nice to have a key to fall back on and all the units I have seen have one.

[DBaty]

Pay extra and get a Schlage. . Best lock on the market. Uses same tumbler as Baldwin. I have them on my Villages home and on my cottage in Michigan. Avoid kwikset and big box house brands - cheap mechanism and easy to pick. Full disclosure- my son is a senior electronic lock engineer a Schlage. But he has shown me a number of the competitor’s locks and there is a big difference in quality. Also, you can get an Apple lock made by Schlage that has some Apple bells and whistles.

I use the Wyze product. Operates on most models of door locks ( you don't have to change door lock sets and can use your key) I also use their camera doorbell with audio included to speak to the person. Have them on two houses works fine.

Yes. I am using one on a room that their is not access too other than the door that has the lock. Also if you are depending on your garage door opening if your lock is not working the electric to it could be out.

It would be easier to just break a glass window and crawl right in.
