Looked through Amazon reviews and prior posts on this subreddit and can’t seem to find a reliable smart lock option.

Was looking at the Yale Assure 2 Touch but appears to drain batteries at a rapid clip, several folks on reddit have recommended ultraloq or liberty but those were shredded on Amazon reviews.

Anyone have a trusted, reliable option that doesn’t require additional drilling and doesn’t drain batteries?

Thanks for your time!

Aqara U100! Has the most ways to open, takes normal AA batteries and I got about 6 months out of a set. Obviously depends on your door but mine didn't require any drilling. Price is good and it's actually easy to get, unlike the Schlage has been lately.
