I originally started my keyless entry journey with a 10 button lock.
I'm glad I upgraded to a Kevo. The Kevo works great with iPhone 5S/5 and there are virtually no problems. It unlocks within 2-3 seconds and saves me from pulling out my keys. Sometimes it can take a little longer, but generally gets it right 90% of the time.
On the other hand, I have multiple problems locking/unlocking the door with the iPhone 5C. If I get it to lock/unlock on the first try, I feel lucky. Usually it takes 2-4 tries at 5-7 seconds between each try.
Now that Kevo lets you have 7 eKeys, this works great for sending to family and friends, and then revoking once they no longer need access.
The SmartKey option is great. I had problems getting it to change to my previous key. At one point, neither key worked. If you do a search on how to re-key a smart key, you can get back in business without having to go to a locksmith.
There are a few things that would be nice to add to the feature set, such as restricting access to certain hours of the day, or allowing for remote unlock, but it's got a pretty solid set of features as is, and is firmware update-able.
I'll definitely be buying another one in the future, but maybe when there is a price drop or a sale happens.
