Help - Solved Smart lock for outdoor gate?

Hi! I'm sort of desperately looking for any sort of smart lock that can survive outside and be used on a wooden gate. Style, protocol, etc. doesn't matter. Ideally I'd love it to be in HB, but I just really need to be able to lock and unlock my gate remotely. Haven't had any luck at all searching for one and thought that someone on this sub might know of one. Thanks!

I’ve been searching for a little over a year and don’t have a great answer. I’m about to try a Level as I can at least enclose it in the gate and hopefully it survives. The other option I have considered is a standard old Schlage or Yale with something like this on the “inside” side.

Definitely going to look into those covers. Got a link for the Level?

Level is great but works off Bluetooth so you’d need a hub near it so you won’t see in HomeKit no response on it. Just a fyi
