Schlage Sense Smart Deadbolt Now Remotely Controllable With Wi-Fi Adapter

Does this mean someone could stand outside your home and shout 'Hey Siri, unlock the door'.....

Not really... First, what would be listening to them? Siri is activated by voice on iPads, iPhones, and Apple Watches. And during the setup of Siri, it learns what you sound like, and ignores others. If I say "Hey Siri" in front of my iPad, Siri wakes up and will respond to me. If anyone else says Hey Siri, nothing happens.

My current set up ignores the online portion of the lock (in part because it's always dropping from being linked with the Home app). We use the keypad instead of carrying a key. My daughter has her own code. Our neighbor has a code. We can set tenporary codes for others. It's a great system, even without the online part of the feature set.

Yep, I'm good with key codes. Plenty of decent key code locks that don't have WiFi.

Hmm, someone sophisticated enough to crack your WPA encryption and hack the lock...or a hammer to a window?

A hammer to my window will trigger our security system.

Well, the app/firmware update completely rendered my Sense lock useless remotely. Despite there never being a problem accessing it using my ATV4 as the HomeKit hub, this thing apparently doesn't connect to my ATV4 (which I haven't moved). I really do wonder if this update purposely cripples ATV4 access in order to hawk their new $80 adapter. So pissed right now.

My security system would trigger if the door opened too.
