Hmm facial recognition? A little bit unreliable of a technology I'd say. But other than that, it seems really convenient. I just prefer doing everything manually. Probably I need to delete that question. I just wanted to know people's reasons to use smart home because I didn't believe many of them find it useful

He might have given the dog walker a different key, a fob, or any number of non-facial recognition tools though.

For instance, you can have a PIN based entry door lock that only activates certain PINs at certain times. Or an HID one setup similarly.
