Are there any Android versions for phone or smart watch?
4:50 for most fingerprint scanners I always add an extra setup with my finger wet.
Literally needed this video today and picked the connect before watching. Woo hoo
These are good locks, but I went August with mine. Same app as the Yale lock you featured, but it means the outside looks like a traditional, "dumb" lock and doesn't advertise to everyone that there is a smart lock installed. I was okay not having a keypad as auto unlock works reliably for me on my phone. 🙂
I have lockly secure pro installed for a year
What about wyze lock?
What bout level lock?
I went with the Lockly. It has been pretty good so far. We haven't had issues with the finger print reader yet. Let's see what happens when winter gets here.
Nice video, could you make one comparing the eufy and the ring security systems?😊
Bad video. The first lock I see on Amazon is a lot better than those. It’s by Level
Wish this list would've included the Level Locks
As long as you can get the locks into home assistant you can get them into Apple HomeKit. Not sure why Reed is mentioning they don’t work with HomeKit (with the exception of Lockly of course)
Thanks Reed.
Hi Reed, long time follower first time commenter😊 Another aspect that I think was not touched on is the auto lock features. I love the auto locking of the door when I swing the door shut on our Aqara U100 with it’s door close detection. It’s not something I thought I needed but would miss it now if the feature was to be taken from me, it’s that convenient. Walking in with bags in hands and gently kicking the door shut and it locks for you is priceless. Automate everything! 😅
My only issue with Aqara that keeps me a little skeptical with the Aqara door lock is that for some reason my Aqara switches keeps disconneting from the hub. I integrated the hub to home assistant but I am almost 100% sure that the problem is the hub. O am thinking to eliminate the hub and connect all the switches to HA with the skyconnecr dongle.
We got the Eufy one that has biometrics and a key code option. Never thought about getting one with Apple integration, probably because I am the sole android user in the home
What about the Eufy doorlock?
This is freaky. I just bought a house and was looking up which smart lock to get and now this video drops…
I think in the future you should include if the key cylinder can be replaced or not. Most companies make one of a few standard sized cylinders, and some of these keys are MUCH more secure than the bog basic cylinder they come with. None of these extra features mean jack if a semi-experienced lockpicker can open them in just a matter of seconds.
If I use the schlage connect with my smartthings hub. Is it possible to create/delete access codes from within smartthings? or how would I do it?
How about the Nuki 3.0 Pro? I recently got it and works perfect!
Perfect timing on this video. I have been trying to decide the last few days which one to get. I have been leaning toward the Schlage connect but I guess I will look into the yale assure 2 before I decide.
I have the Z-Wave Schlage that you first reviewed and it worked on Smartthings forever, until they changed something recently. Now its inoperable and constantly connects and disconnects. Not sure what I need tondo to fix this?
