For many years I had some Abloy Protec electronic locks fitted on the old
h=
ouse - these were very secure and were linked directly to a Comfort relay
a=
nd their own battery backed PSU. Not an easy retro fit option though.

There are a couple of good door locks that have a motor built in. It's not
=
a retro fit option but if any of you are looking at getting a new front
doo=
r, I can advise.

Connecting to a HA system would entail using the IO port of Comfort.

No direct communication between lock & security panel... DUH?!?!

So I'm still waiting for a truly "smart" lock, since imho, that

! Integ ration is key...

Be very to hear if anything has changed in this regard in the last year...
