    @aaronpk I fell down that rabbit hole no fewer than four times and always came back with no new hardware. So much cloud. So little beauty.

    Aaron Parecki
    Yup. I think the answer is to look at the commercial market, things you install in office buildings

    I'm trying to pick out doorknobs and locks for the house and it turns out I have a lot of feelings about how doors should work
    Aaron Parecki
    Features I want in door hardware:

    • always unlocked from the inside
    • always locked from the outside
    • single keyhole on the outside
    • momentary unlock with a key
    • 12V DC momentarily unlock
    • operates as normal when electronics are down

    I'll wire it to the smarthome separately

    Not right now, but there's an API and it wouldn't take much to write a script to do that

    For some background, I imported all my logs from 2008 to present into it a while ago. Previously they were in a variety of different formats depending on the server I was using at the time.

    Looks cool! I'll have to check it out. Does it import the 10+ years of Google Timeline KML and/or GPX I have?

    I've used @aaronpk 's Compass + Overland iOS app before but can't remember if it supports live tracking?
    Aaron Parecki
    That's exactly what it's for!

    This is incredible! Great job. I was contacted by one of these a few months ago and they did a pretty good job of it.

    That took us a long time too! We went with Schlage Connect in aged bronze. Works with HomeKit.
    Aaron Parecki
    Yeah and I'm not even talking about the smart lock part yet! There's just lots of types of door hardware and different options for quick opening and deadbolts!

    Yes but have you looked at reinforcement for the door frames, steel is your friend
    Aaron Parecki
    I'm actually leaning towards electronic door strikes, since that provides the best UX when the power fails or the whole system is down, it just turns into a regular keyed door lock

    Smart lock deadbolts with passage levers for the entry mechanism!
    Aaron Parecki
    I actually really don't like smartlock deadbolts, because it takes more power to physically move the deadbolt so the battery life is worse. I want it to be hardwired to mains power. (with battery backup and physical key secondary backup of course)

    My personal preferences are

    Nothing electronic.
    Locking deadbolt.
    ANSI/BHMA grade 2 or better.
    Security plate for deadbolt strike.
    Non-locking knob/lever (can't lock yourself out).
    Aaron Parecki
    for exterior? that's interesting, I'm almost the complete opposite

    Important questions: do you have animals, and if so how good are they at turning doorknobs and door levers?
    Aaron Parecki
    we have a cat and she currently has not figured out how to operate the door levels.

    but I'm actually more concerned about exterior doors at the moment. I'll be freaking out about the interior doors in a couple months.

    I recently learned there are “Norman doors”. Look it up if you haven’t heard of them.
    Aaron Parecki
    ohh yeah I swear someone did a whole conference talk about the analogies of door UX and software UX

    TikTok really does feel a bit like investing.

    The more you post the more “stocks” you have and a chance for one of them to take off and at different times. It’s crazy how the rate of growth increases the more I post.
    Aaron Parecki
    Isn't that also true on YouTube just a lot slower?

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, Director of Identity Standards at Okta, and co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write and consult about OAuth, and participate in the OAuth Working Group at the IETF. I also help people learn about video production and livestreaming. (detailed bio)

I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.
