He can either use a code to get in, or you can unlock the door remotely.
Did I Turn Off The Curling Iron?

Thankfully, you can check the status of that and other problematic appliances on your smart home app and turn it off right from your device.
Are the Kids Behaving
They are old enough to need a little independence, but still need some serious supervision. They can’t get into much trouble in the two hours you are away, right? With home automation you know if the door opens alerting you to a sudden unsanctioned influx of occupancy. Sensors can also tell you if they are into off-limits areas. Still not sure?
