Worst tech week ever started with my smart lock locking me out

Last Tuesday my smart lock just glitched and wouldn't accept my code or the app connection, so I was stuck outside for 2 hours until a locksmith drilled it off. The company said it was a known server outage but didn't send any warning. Has anyone else had a home automation thing fail at the worst time?

I mean, idk, maybe this is on you for trusting a lock that depends on internet.

A keypad lock with no mechanical backup is just asking for trouble in a power outage.

Can't believe there's no key backup at all, that's wild.
