#Keypad deadbolt full#

So when it senses that you're heading up the steps to your front porch with your hands full of groceries, it will unlock hands-free. Like August Wi-Fi, this lock uses your phone's location to lock/unlock doors accordingly. Wyze's geofencing capabilities are nifty too. There's a keypad accessory for around $25 if you want an option for letting guests in without the Wyze app.

This smart lock comes with remote access via an included Wi-Fi bridge, so you don't need to sacrifice the flexibility of pricier models like August and Ultraloq to share guest access. (Wyze says the lock can last up to six months, which is closely aligns with our results.) During testing, we found it could go for months without needing a fresh set of batteries. We love that Wyze Lock batteries aren't too needy. Plus, the Grade 1 security rating means it can take a beating to protect your home.

Still, we think the Ultraloq U-Bolt Pro Wi-Fi is an excellent runner-up to the August Wi-Fi since it brings an integrated keypad and fingerprint sensor into the mix-even if it's a bit pricier overall. Ultraloq is also more expensive than the August Wi-Fi and many other smart locks-especially if you go for the Wi-Fi version. Not everyone will go for such an unconventional design that may not blend in with the decor, but there's a certain charm helping Ultraloq-and its excellent smart features-grow on us. There's open-door detection so the lock can track when the door's ajar, which is super helpful if your kids often forget to close it all the way. While this is a cool feature, we preferred the speed of the fingerprint reader for unlocking doors during testing.

#Keypad deadbolt code#

The longer code would be harder for someone behind you to memorize, and you'd still be able to get into your house. So if your code was 4432, you could tap in 44320134, and the door would still unlock. It also allows you to hide your code within a stream of numbers if someone looks over your shoulder. That means this keyless lock comes with the highest security rating available for any lock-the Schlage Connect is the only other lock among our top picks with this rating. The Ultraloq lock is super durable and has an ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 Certification. For example, set your front door to lock automatically when your smart porch light turns on. You can set up almost endless automations with your lock and other smart devices. (There's even a Z-Wave version of the lock if you prefer.) While Ultraloq lacks the HomeKit compatibility of August, it works with every other major smart home platform like Alexa and Google voice assistants, IFTTT, and SmartThings.

It even works with Airbnb, so you can manage guest access for short-term rentals.Īugust Wi-Fi doesn't have a security rating, unlike Ultraloq and Schlage, because it retrofits your deadbolt and isn't a deadbolt itself. This compatibility unlocks more possibilities for voice control and automations than you'll see with brands like Wyze and Lockly. This electric door lock may not work with every existing deadbolt model, so make sure yours is compatible before investing.Īugust is one of the best smart locks to integrate into a smart home because it's compatible with Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit, Google Assistant, Samsung SmartThings, and IFTTT. The August electronic lock design works with the existing lock and keys you already have, so it took us just minutes to get up and running.

This is a relatively short battery life compared to Schlage Connect and Lockly Secure Pro's 12-month batteries, but it's long enough that you don't need new batteries every month. You can expect August Wi-Fi to last three to six months on a set of batteries, so energy-saving features make a real difference. It was fun seeing this in action during testing. We love this feature because it maximizes your battery life by turning off the power-hungry Wi-Fi when it's unnecessary.

#Keypad deadbolt Bluetooth#

It uses Bluetooth if you're within range at home and Wi-Fi when you're not. It also has an excellent geofencing feature that unlocks your door automatically as you approach.Īlthough the lock works over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, the app automatically chooses the best connection for your needs. We especially love the guest access tools, detailed activity reports, and low battery alerts. That means faster installation and one less device in your outlets.Īugust's app is one of the easiest we've ever used and helps set the standard for what you should expect from a smart lock app-even competitor apps use layouts similar to August's. It's a bit pricier than previous versions, but it doesn't need a hub. The lock's secure built-in Wi-Fi connection means you can control it through the August Home app. We love August as the best door lock because it's packed with features.
