[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Connected to Apple HomeKit and Ring via the home app. Setting up codes extremely simple I could even see who arrives at my house and who leaves at what times. This is a lifesaver when you have kids and you’d like to know if they’ve arrived at home and gotten in the house safely. Highly recommend!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is our second Schlage Wi-Fi deadbolt. These work very well for our Airbnb properties. We can give individual tenants a code to access the property and then change the code after they leave. These locks have worked seamlessly for us and the app even notified us once when a tenant left without shutting and locking the door properly.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Schlage Encode Plus smart lock for a few months now, and honestly, it’s been one of the best smart home upgrades I’ve ever made. I wanted a lock that looked good, worked seamlessly, and gave me peace of mind—and this checks every box.
🔐 Apple Home Key Is a Game-Changer
The Apple Home Key integration is insanely convenient. I can just tap my iPhone or Apple Watch to the lock and boom—it unlocks instantly. I don’t even have to open an app or press a button. If I’m carrying groceries or rushing in with kids or pets, it’s super helpful. And it works even if my phone battery is dead (as long as it has a little power reserve for Apple Pay/Home Key). That’s next-level thoughtful.
🌐 Built-in Wi-Fi = Total Control
I love that it connects directly to Wi-Fi without needing an extra hub. From the Schlage Home app, I can lock and unlock it remotely, see who’s coming and going, and set up unique codes for guests, family, or deliveries. I can even schedule those codes to only work during certain times—perfect for babysitters or cleaners.
🧠 Seamless Smart Home Integration
I’ve integrated it with Apple HomeKit, but it also works with Alexa and Google Assistant. If I forget to lock the door at night, I just say “Hey Siri, lock the front door” and it’s done. It also fits perfectly into my HomeKit scenes—like locking automatically when I say “Goodnight.”
🔧 Super Easy to Install
Installation was surprisingly easy. All I needed was a screwdriver and maybe 20 minutes. No hardwiring, no complicated pairing steps. The instructions were straightforward, and everything fit perfectly into my existing deadbolt setup.
💪 Looks Good, Built Tough
It’s not just smart—it’s tough. This lock has Grade 1 ANSI/BHMA security, the highest residential rating. The build feels solid and premium, and the touchscreen keypad is sleek and responsive. I got the Century trim in satin nickel, and it looks amazing on my front door—very clean and modern.
