Anona Holo Wi-Fi Smart Lock with Keypad review: A keyless deadbolt with built-in Wi-Fi and Apple HomeKit support

The Anona Holo Wi-Fi Smart Lock provides a flexible, rental-friendly keyless entry solution designed to retrofit existing single-cylinder deadbolts.

Styled in a clean Obsidian Grey metal finish, the main unit mounts onto the interior side of your door, turning your original thumbturn while keeping your external lock hardware and existing keys intact.

Paired with the included wireless keypad, it creates a complete keyless upgrade without forcing permanent, destructive modifications to the door frame.
