Hi,
I’m looking for some advice. I’d like to buy a smart lock for my rented home, but I’m not sure it’s possible because of the lock in my front door.
Ideally, my ultimate aim is to have someone arrive at my door, such as my Mum, ring the doorbell, and I’m on the sofa, struggling with pain from my disability. I can see that it’s her at the door, by looking at the live feed on my iPhone, and either press a button to let her in, or she can use her own key or passcode because she’s my Mum.
As a back up to that, at the very least I want to have a smart doorbell that someone can press and I can see who it is on my phone, and ask them to give me time to get up to the door.
An added complication to this is that I have a doorbell currently, but I don’t know why it’s not working, and whether I would need to get a wired doorbell or not, and whether it’s worth just getting in an electrician to figure some of this out, and then potentially to install a Smart Doorbell.
I’m a little lost with the different options and permutations, and would really appreciate any help you can provide.
