Electrically moving the bolt is a waste of battery power. The decent locks just engage/disengage the bolt from the latch and let the human do the turning.

That's how my apt door smart lock works. There's no keyway to pick or bump. It's a momentary clutch operated electrically that grabs the bolt mechanism. If you want to force your way in, better bring a big ass drill.

The August is a waste.
