Just moved into a new house and I have 5 exterior door dead bolts. I would like to make them all smart but the number of doors makes the cost a big issue. Also I want to replace the deadbolts as some are terrible and some have different keys.

For the front door originally I was thinking the Schlage Encode Plus as I would like to use home key on that door.

For most of the doors simply being able to remote lock and check state is enough.

Local control is a must but zigbee/zwave/HomeKit/matter would all be fine

Any more affordable options? Any that get bulk discounts if I where to buy 5 at once?

    Neat! Good to know. Like many people, we enter mostly through the garage; I use our’s for the pet sitter, so the code is entirely sufficient. If I used it more, coughing up the extra $50 for the fingerprint reader would totally have been worth it.
