Ah yes!  Now I remember.  I think it *was* on the same episode.  The problem they had with that installation was that there didn't seem to be a way to deactivate the lock from the outside.  

I like this one.  It bears my name:

August Wi-Fi Smart Lock (Newest Model 4th Gen) - Alexa, Google Assistant, HomeKit, SmartThings and Airbnb Compatible - Upgrade Your Deadbolt ? Matte Black

Looks like a fancy servo motor or something.  Not sure how it's powered, and how annoying that might be to maintain.
