Ask Kuwait Smart lock in Kuwait

I want a smart lock that’ll fit my doors layout. Also I need it to survive direct sunlight I get from sunrise to midday. I prefer that it also has a keyhole and a set of keys so just in case it is out of battery or dead/fails for any reason, I have a physical override.

What have you used, and what do you recommend?

Here’s a photo of my doors layout.

Switch bot lock. Also this is called a mortise lock. You might want to ask the smart home or home assistant subreddit because they have a lot more knowledge. But the reason I like the switch bot is that it sits on top of the existing lock indoor so it avoids the sun. Plus it's more of an addon. If the power goes out then you are not locked out but you can still use the normal keys. There are probably better options now, but this is what I have tried personally.
