Product name
Smart Lock / App
Summary
If “Lock after Auto Unlock” is enabled, enable a sub-option called: “Except when door was unlocked”
Features
Currently, “Lock after Auto Unlock” will always lock the door disregarding if the door was locked or unlocked before Auto Unlock occurred. This Feature Request is to add a sub-option to only lock the door if the door was locked already before Auto Unlock occurred.
Reason
In a multi-tenant house/flat with a above average of people moving through the door excessive locking/unlocking is noisy and will cause the battery to drain quicker (environmental unfriendly).
Examples
I would use this feature in conjunction with Night Mode being enabled. In the case of not living alone multiple people might come and leave at different times. Assuming that over the day there is always someone at home locking might not be always necessary.
Use cases:
- Father leaves for work in the morning, without locking door because wife is at home anyway
- Children come home from school and Auto Unlock triggers and locks afterwards
- Package gets delivered but Mother has to wait for the door to unlock -> waste of battery, time and noisy
Possible issues:
- This option can be rendered useless when the option to lock the door after x minutes is enabled
