[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this smart with wifi lock for our door and are very pleased. We plan to add a couple more.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We recently purchased an Airbnb and this is exactly what we need to control access. We can set individual codes for each guest and put them on a timeframe for checking in and out!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works great, and no subscription required. It’s also very easy to set up and I truly have no complaints.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This unit replaced a competing product also with HomeKit integration, but only Bluetooth-based. Periodically, that product would have the dreaded “no response” in HomeKit, which was likely because a more distant HomePod took over as the home hub and was beyond Bluetooth range. I’m told any Bluetooth iOS device linked to the relevant home in HomeKit should relay, but I digress. Here’s hoping this one with WiFi maintains a more robust connection.
Otherwise, this unit has a little more oomph and can overcome the slight misalignment of the lower strike plate for the door knob which needs tweaked to account for the thick weather stripping.
The only complaint I have is that HomeKit pairing is not as straight forward as one might like. It has to be initiated from the Schlage app, not from the Home app.
All in all it seems like a solid product. I’d consider replacing all my other locks if the price were a bit better.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've just recently started the switch from zwave to wifi and schlage encode have by far been the easiest to install and setup. I replaced all of the locks in my house in a Single afternoon.
