The internet is down... well, if you use AWS services it would appear to be true.

Things such as Alexa (now working again?), Ring, etc are either slow or not responding whilst they try to get things running again

This. If they sold a dumb lock that just reported whether it was locked or unlocked I would buy it in a heartbeat.

They kinda do, but not totally dumb: Unmotorized deadbolts. They're more like strikes, they prevent/allow the deadbolt to turn with an electromagnet.

You could just look at the status of it but at that point, I'd just get the motorized one. I think the price difference is like $50
