Best HomeKey lock for guest access control
Hi everyone!
I'm in the market for the BEST KomeKey compatible lock that is also compatible with guest access.
My girlfriend runs a private daycare center at home and has 6 kids, coming from 4 families. The goal here is to have our door locked at all times and automatically re-lock when closed, but give each parent their personal code, and, for those having an iPhone, the ability to use HomeKey to unlock the door and drop their kids, but ONLY ON SPECIFIC DAYS AND TIMES.
My ultimate goal would be to add every parent who owns an iPhone as guests to our home, but have their access work only from 7-9 AM and from 3-5 PM.
The only one who doesn't have an iPhone would use the code of his wife, who does, so we'd know who came in and when.
I know Apple Home allows this since iOS 18 dropped, it's just that the lock I bought doesn't.
We currently have the Aqara U200, and frankly, it's been FLAWLESS for HomeKey, but it seems that it doesn't support schedules through the home app.
The Aqara app is also really bad for managing access codes. There's no way to have one code work in 2 separate time schedules, and they can't be repeated. So, every parent would have 2 separate codes, one for the morning, and one for the afternoon, plus they can't use HomeKey, which is the primary goal of all this.
I was thinking about the Schlage Encode Plus or the Yale Assure 2 Plus.
I know that the Yale lock doesn't have a physical key, but I'm ok with that.
I was wondering if anyone here has an answer for me, so here's the question in fewer words:
With those locks, can I manage scheduled access times for guests VIA THE HOME APP, and if both can, which one is the BEST?
Thanks a lot guys!
