I’m looking at getting smart locks for my front and back door, but don’t know what to look for. Hopefully something with a keypad, so I can give friends a code to get in, and a RFID badge, so I can easily get in and out. Any suggestions are welcome!

I have a Yale YRL216, and it has worked flawlessly. I have used the codes for friends and family, as well as WiFI control to lock/unlock on demand. It supposedly has proximity unlock with your phone (BLE) but I haven’t tried that. I like that it has physical buttons - it’s cold in winter, physical buttons work well with gloves, and has a key for backup.
I also have a Yale touchscreen lock on a different door. It’s a little older, and I have to say I don’t love it. The touchscreen is more finicky about registering a touch, and the motor actually rotates the lock to lock/unlock, which seems to struggle with the effort and goes through batteries faster than I’d like.
