I was accidentally locked out of home again, and I had to call a professional to open the lock.

But if someone was home, they could have just turned the knob of the door from inside. There's a device that can do that? It needs to do 3 full turns and it requires a bit of force to do that (armored door with iron bars that slide in every direction, so it has a big inertia to start)

I saw a ready solution on a store, the iseo x1r, but that costs 1000 euro + another 200 for the gateway (not mandatory but otherwise it uses proprietary Bluetooth protocol and so it can't talk with HA

It is used to detect closing of door and lock the door once it is closed. You may need it during the initial setup. as long as it can be placed close to the door lock, it should work ok.

otherwise, once integrated with HA, you can probably use your own contact sensor and trigger door lock using HA

btw, i am using ESPHome bluetooth proxy with Switchbot
