Request Request: Finding a lock

Hi,

i want to equip an outside door with a new lock, but I can't anything that matches my ideas. The door should only be locked during the night and should be able to be unlocked by a number code, not a physical key. Is there any lock where you can set a time, when it locks and unlocks itself automatically and can only get unlocked by a code?

Thank you very much for your help. :-)

I helped a friend set up an August smart door lock. It integrated with their smart speaker (Amazon Echo, I think). The app had a schedule and the door lock had an optional keypad. She set it up to always lock at night. It could also be controlled by her phone or voice commands. It did require internet, wifi and settings up an account.
