One of the best out there, but not perfect

Verified Purchase:Yes

Kwikset has done a nice job with the upgraded Kevo, but its just not fully baked. If you have your compatible IOS or Android device (I have an Iphone 7 with IOS 10.1 as of this writing) in your pocket or purse you should be able to have the app running in the background and tap the outer ring of the lock and the door should unlock. I have troubleshooted this with Kwikset multiple times and it just doesn't work consistently. The blue ring just spins and nothing. Kwikset claims to try again as the lock is "calibrating". Multiple times and ...nothing. This is not a dealbreaker, but it does require removing the phone from your pocket and opening the app and unlocking the door with the app. Hence, defeating the purpose and taking longer than it would to take a key out of my pocket and open the door. This is not to say that I would not recommend Kevo. I love that I can remotely (with the Kevo bridge, an additional upgrade) open the lock remotely for guests or vendors that I need to let into my home. Its also nice to be able to check to make sure you locked the door. Although I have on occasion checked the app and it says the door is locked when it isn't. This is a VERY serious issue and in Kevo's defense I have not contacted them. I assume that this might be an issue of the app not getting updated as I had just unlocked the door and gotten in the car and attempted to lock the door with the app, possibly not allowing enough time for the app to receive the updated information. All in all, it is a good product that has great potential but still needs some work. I'd still recommend it. But its important to have the right expectations.

I would recommend this to a friend!
