BEHOLD: MY CAPE

I just bought a Wink hub and some lights; so far I am pretty happy with what it does. I intend to integrate my door locks and thermostat to the system. It has some neat features like geofencing from any location, so for instance I can set the thermostat to start warming up the house when I walk out of my workplace between set hours in the afternoon, and then turn on the porch lights and unlock the doors when I arrive at home.

If I were to buy a smartlock, it should work like VW's keyless system. As in when I touch the door handle, it'll look for the key transponder, unlock if found and actually let me actuate the door handle.

The Kevo smart lock is the only lock I know of that operates like that, and I'm with you, that's exactly what I wanted. Unfortunately it does not operate with Wink unlike Kwikset's other smart locks.
