Sliding door lock?
Does there exist a sliding door stop that I can automate? Something to replace the stick that I drop into the track every night? The latches on these doors are notoriously easy to force and I hate having to get up at night every time the wife asks if I put the stick in the slider on the other side of the house.

Any Electric strike lock from AliExpress. Mount it on the track and bore an hole in the door for it to go into. Hope this makes sense
Oh interesting, I can almost see what you're getting at. Are you thinking mount it in the track below the door so the door can interface with the strike lock in one corner?
Yes. Or on the side if you can’t get under. Under would look nicer but not great for the lock. Moisture and dirt…
Be careful when drilling into the door; if the drill bit reaches the tempered glass it will shatter into a million pieces.
At least op won’t have to put the stick there anymore -:)
