You will all laugh but I just put in a wink and schlage locks. Not exactly a real security system since there is no keypad you can arm or disarm. You can only do that through the app. One of my people doesn't have a new enough smartphone for the app. It allows you to use robots which are simple if then logic. I know it isn't difficult enough for many of you but it is cheap, easy, and pretty. A nice keypad would be a good pi project to round it out though.
