I love my two U300s. The front door also has a level lock. It would be nice if they were the same lock, but a scene helps with that. Our bolt has been ok.

Apps and websites in general are frustrating because they do not often suggest passwords due to a mismatch. I had to add bsky.social to get the sign in view to autofill. I had bsky.app in there from their app I guess. Annoying.
