Ideally I'd like to be able to manage the lock using a open source self hosted home automation system.

If you have a favorite door lock, I'd love to hear it.

I used to use lockstate ($1 a month subscription): per user codes, notification when a code was used, time restricted codes, one time use codes.. all very handy features

None of them. As a programmer, the only people you're keeping out with those are the people who wouldn't break into your home anyway. As soon as one of those hits the market, its out dated and no longer safe. Security is always playing catch up, just look at Kia as an example. Right now, you (yes you, with potentially no tech background) can go on the internet and download a program to a key fob using youtube as a guide, and steal a brand new Kia. Never trust one of these "smart" locks, a burglar is only one youtube video away.

I think to sum security up: locks, or key fobs, are made to keep the honest people honest. You’re not stopping a determined person
