[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Now I can see when my family or guests enter my house. No long a need to dog for keys as my Apple Watch unlocks the door
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had one of the older Schlage locks for about 10-12 years. While it was great and served its purpose, it lacked any modern connectivity or ease of changing for better security. The Encode Plus is an amazing upgrade. It was easy to install, the interface in the app is clean. Best of all, once I figured out HomeKit on the appleTV, the apple wallet integration is simply amazing. It works better than hotel locks. I love that I can provision new security codes that are only valid during certain times (eg my cleaners or other people who only need limited access). I know the battery life won’t be as long as with my old lock but it is easy to change the AA batteries. I wonder if a 9V would last longer. If Schlage determines that it would I would be willing to change the lock again just for that upgrade. If I were to ask one thing, it would be that they make a plus version of the smart locking door handles. I put one of those in my basement. While I love it, I would love it more if it had HomeKit features like express pass.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love our Encore locks. We have every exterior door equipped with one. They connect to our phones so we always know whether the doors are locked or unlocked and can unlock them from the car when we drive into the driveway. They were easy to install and get connected. We also have one on our rental property.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to install for a so-so handy person like myself! Love having remote unlocking/locking functionality!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Installing the hardware was easy. It was compatible with my existing measurements. Connected easy to Apple Home and then the Schlage app. User friendly interface and the deadbolt feels just as secure as the old non smart one.
