Firmware update blunder bricks hundreds of home 'smart' locks

Okay, I understand when in the smart house system there are video cameras, light and smoke sensors, opening the gate system. But smart lock on the front door? I do not know about you, but I can not trust such device. I'm not saying that it's much safer to lock on a key, thieves do not usually stop it, but I somehow can not bring myself to believe that a smart lock is safer than a regular lock. Although the idea itself is quite interesting, I recently came across an interesting video where the guys themselves assembled such a smart lock)
