I’m in Bellevue, WA. My building uses smart locks. Instead of a cell phone, you have a small fob, a little larger than a quarter that you hold against the lock on the door to unlock it. The door is always locked.
On one hand, it’s nice the door is always locked and I don’t need to worry about it. More practically speaking, if you go out the door without the dog, you’re SOL.
What I really dislike is they can easily track when my spouse and I leave or are at home.
