First off, the key-free access is a game-changer! Fingerprint, keypad, voice assistant—everyone in my house has their preferred way to unlock it. No more fumbling for keys when my hands are full.
The Z-Wave integration works smoothly with my SmartThings hub. I can lock/unlock remotely and even share temporary codes for guests. Super handy when I’m not home but need to let someone in.
BUT—big warning—the left/right-handed issue is real. I lucked out with matching doors, but if you order the wrong one, it’s a headache. Also, rekeying isn’t quick; you’ll need a locksmith unless you want a pile of backup keys.
Another gripe: while it shows up in Ring via Z-Wave, you can’t set codes or see who unlocked it. Minor annoyance for an otherwise solid smart lock.
