But I didn't do that yesterday, I don't think I'll do it today, and it's not looking good for tomorrow either.
Then one day i watched my neighbour trying to get into his own house, because his smart lock and doorbell system failed horribly. This took several hours. It started raining. I learned a lot of new swear words from my neighbours wife which were directed to her husband.
Once again, my wife was totally right :)
If anything, I’d say that’s a bigger give away than someone not answering a traditional door bell given people used to not hear them even when home, all the time (particularly in bigger houses).
I could understand peoples misconception back when such door bells weren’t known about so the default assumption people might have is that it was an intercom.
There is no control against this, and it shouldn't be something you rely on to prevent break-ins or burglaries (if you were thinking of such threats).
My home office is in the other end of the house, it takes ~20-30 seconds for me to get to the door. That is more time than UPS grants you.
