Smart Lock without Phone Home (partizle.com)

I've recently decided to up my security, but I don't want it to be an annoyance for the family to use. I also have an aversion to web hosted things, so I'd like something that is locally hosted/controlled, without a "Setup app"

I'm open to deadbolt and regular latch smart locks.

What options are out there? what do you use? do you like it?

Pretty much any Z-Wave lock like from Kiwkset, Schlage, Yale, etc. will do what you need provided you have a Z-Wave interface to HA already. No phone home for those devices.

I have the Wyze lock bolt and its pretty amazing.

No cloud features at all, infact it has no network access. Its completely offline. You can only connect to it via bluetooth to add users etc.
Can't be picked because - it has no key hole at all
Has a keypad to unlock via code, but
It has a super fast fingerprint reader - just touch and you're in. Only need the keypad if your fingers are wet and fingerprints fail to scan because of it (almost never)
Reasonably priced
