To remedy connectivity woes when linking and connecting your Vizio soundbar to Alexa via Bluetooth, a reboot of both devices often works wonders. Ensure they’re in close proximity, unpaired with other devices. If troubles linger, a factory reset of the soundbar might just be the needed charm.
Also make sure the devices are within the appropriate range

Hi, @Nick521
I see the Yale Assure Lock Touchscreen 1st gen a sturdy choice, but newer versions might have extra perks. The Mul T Lock cylinder could fit, but it's wise to double-check with the manufacturer or locksmith for compatibility on both Assure Lock versions.
On the flip side, the Schlage Encode Plus is a strong contender with its advanced security features. It's like navigating a maze of options, but consider what features matter most to you and if they align with your needs. It's a bit of a tech puzzle, but finding the right fit is worth the effort!
Considering your requirements, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and ESP32 are suitable choices; but you should consider things like communication protocols, power consumption, etc.. .
Aside with the things I said above, considering that you haven't done this before, I also think starting with a HA system is a more cautious approach; especially given the complexity of managing various smart devices in your smart house project.
Popular HA systems include Home Assistant, OpenHAB, SmartThings, and Hubitat
This smart device could have some useful benefits like enegry savings, convenience and safety (e.g for elderly care); that said, this technology can be developed more in order to track sleeps to determine sleeping patterns which can be useful in many ways.
On the other hand, it's got its own drawbacks, e.g relying on the bed sensor to control multiple smart home devices could lead to inconveniences if the sensor malfunctions or experiences connectivity issues. Also it might cost a lot and be expensive
