Absolutely. The hub model is the key detail—I don't want to recommend a lock that quietly requires a proprietary bridge.
For example:
- SmartThings / Hubitat / Z-Wave hubs: Z-Wave locks such as the Kwikset HomeConnect 620/918 or Schlage Connect can join the hub directly.

- : you can use Matter/Thread or Z-Wave, depending on the radios already present in your setup.
