UniFi Deadbolt

Is anyone else surprised by the fact that Ubiquiti doesn’t sell a deadbolt? I know the company’s access product line is centered around commercial customers, but the company must know there are millions of home automation nerds who wire their homes up with UniFi prosumer equipment too. The fact that the company doesn’t yet sell a smart deadbolt to integrate with Access and/or Protect is baffling to me, especially given how diversified some of their other product lines are around some seemingly niche product categories.

I just took the plunge into the UniFi access world myself with a G6 Pro Entry and I have it programmed to unlock my August deadbolt via the Home Assistant API and while it works, there is a noticeable lag between when the reader issues an unlock command and when the lock opens. Are there better ways of doing this? Should I be considering other smart lock solutions? I like the fact that I get to keep my existing exterior-facing keyed lock set.

Why are they even interested in it? There shouldn’t be any organic matter in it at all.I’ve cleaned out every sink drain, sink overflow, P trap. We never let garbage sit. Our dog food is stored in a sealed plastic container. Just can’t get rid of these guys. Have deployed those UV sticky traps to almost every room in the house and for the most part they’re no longer catching anything- except the one in my utility room. (Where the AC coil and drain is)

▲ 61 r/Soil

The gas company is replacing our 62 year old copper service line with polyethylene. Fine. But instead of replacing the disturbed earth with the dirt that they removed, they’re backfilling it the entire trench and several large access holes entirely with crushed stone. Is this a standard practice? And if so, will it have any negative implications to the trees and grass in the area? Drainage? They claim that another crew will be by in a week or two to skim off the top layer of gravel and replace it with topsoil before reseeding, but I feel like backfilling with that much inorganic material can’t be good for our grass or the 50 ft willow oak tree that they’re digging at the perimeter of the drip line of.
