Maybe I'll look into electronic locks later, I guess. It's not really a priority.
So what's the use of all the other functions when you cannot (or don't want to?) open the door?
As someone else said, it's mainly so I can ask couriers to leave packages in specific places, tell salespersons to go away without getting up, etc.
Around here, they drop the parcel in front of the door and then they run away like thieves.
Sometimes they ring, too. But they don't bother waiting.
They're a lot better than that where I live.
