Thanks for this. Yale was also on my list to look into.

Fantastic. Thank you. Yale was second on my list to research.
Yeah, I’m aiming at quality lock over quality smart. As long as I can get remote lock/unlock going, the smarts will be built into my HA/Node-RED automations.
Good point re keyed lock. I won’t be changing my back door locks, so can always jump a fence if I get desperate.
Awesome feedback. Thanks for that.
Do you happen to know if all Schlage smart locks support the same features, or only a specific model range?
Maybe, but I’ve read some posts that state some Schlage locks can be entirely controlled through Z-Wave without needing cloud access.
But, that may mean I don’t get battery monitoring that way.
I do, because the combination of speed and cost matter to me. We don't have a lot of other options in Australia, certainly none that can come close to Amazon's performance in this space.

+1 to everything you just said - I've been using Immich for a little less (370 days, thanks to the same button). It's feature rich and rock solid.
Only thing I hope they add to the mobile app is the Years/Months/Days option, to make it easy to quickly group, then find, your photos. It's the one thing that keeps me using my phone's own Photos app (locally - no cloud sync).
100% For us, a passata, an onion, and some garlic is the minimum needed.
Probably helps that the FIL delivers us boxes of homemade passata all the time - we never have less than a dozen bottles on our storage shelves in the garage. But even if we were to ever run out, a couple of store-bought bottles in the pantry is our fallback option.
My wife's Italian. Replace your items with always having a bottle of sauce and a packet of pasta in the cupboard, and there's always a meal to be had no matter how empty the fridge is.
General rule of thumb for me is, if LPL can't open it in 30 seconds or less, I'm probably safe from most of the fuckwits that live in my area.
