I started with the Yale Nest lock. Should work great with google, right? It does, except google can only lock the door, not unlock it. I understand why for security purposes, but it defeated the purpose I was looking for - not having to use a key OR the keypad when my hands were full. I wanted quick and easy entry. I was going to set up a simple Siri shortcut so I could tell my Apple Watch to unlock the door, and it would tell Google. No dice. Strike one.
I next tried the Sledge Sense. It says it works with Google Assistant and Siri. I knew going in that Google would not unlock this door either, but I read that Siri would. I figured I could make this work. I’ll leave all my google routines for inside the home (lock doors before bed, lock doors for when I am about to leave, etc.) and then just use a Siri routine for returning home (unlock door and disarm security system). Strike 2. First, the Sense does work with Google and HomeKit, but not at the same time. You have to choose one or the other. So no double routines. Still figured I could just cut the locking out of my Google routines by making it auto lock and then run it just on HomeKit to unlock with Siri. This kind of worked, but your iPhone has to be unlocked in order for Siri to unlock the door. This means that you cannot use Siri to unlock the door with your Apple Watch while the phone is in your pocket. So still not accomplishing the easy entry I was looking for.
I was tired of spending money on locks that didn’t do what I wanted and about to give up when I decided I would give this one a try. And I struck gold. First of all, it works with Siri and Google, though I didn’t even bother to set it up with Siri because of the geofencing discussed below. Second, Google actually CAN lock AND unlock this one, unlike the other 2. You do have to speak your code Google to unlock which still makes quick entry awkward, but at least you can use google to unlock the door for a visitor if you are in another room of the house. But the best part is you don’t need to rely on Google OR Siri to unlock the door for yourself when coming home. Just set up geofencing with the Bluetooth on your iPhone, and it will unlock automatically when you get close.
This has everything I was looking for in a lock. It seems to be well built and was easy to set up and get running. It still has a few little quirks that are annoying but not fatal. My only real complaint is how you wake up the keypad if you want to do a manual code entry. You would think you would press the home icon on the top but you would be wrong. You might also hope that you could touch anywhere on the screen to wake it up, but that’s not it either. Instead, you have to press on the bottom left hand side of the screen where the check mark would be (except you can’t see the check mark at that point because the screen is asleep). This is not a big deal at all once you get used to it, but I could see this being very confusing if I have a guest coming to my house and I just give them the code to punch in for the door. I’m sure I will be getting a few calls that the keypad “doesn’t work." I wish they would fix this. Also, I don’t think you can manage pin codes from the app. It appears you have to do this from the keypad. I might be wrong as I haven’t looked into this very much yet, but if you are someone who manages a lot of key codes (Airbnb), you need to look into this and this may not be the lock for you.
Otherwise, I am so very thankful that I took a chance on this lock. It is everything I was looking for and more. I am buying 2 more for my other doors!
The hardware part of the installation was simple enough; luckily all the dimensions on my door and doorframe were within tolerances. The only surgery was drilling a 5/8" hole in the doorframe to place the included magnet (which allows the lock to know when the door is closed, enabling features that depend on that). They also give you the option to glue this magnet to the interior face of the doorframe, if you don't want to drill (but it'll be visible). Or you can omit it entirely.
The software part didn't go 100% smoothly, but it was *much* better than I'd expected. I followed the included directions which tell you to put everything together and set a master code on the keypad. I then installed the Yale app and attempted to link my lock, but got a message stating that the lock was already registered and the current owner would have to give permission to allow a factory reset. Weird, as I bought it new, but I clicked "OK". I was then prompted to scan a QR code, and received another error stating that it didn't match the lock's serial number--which was bogus. I decided to do a factory reset and try the in-app setup first (before setting a master code) and this did the trick, so it seems you need to do things in that order--but the instructions don't state this, and the app was giving odd/incorrect feedback. Another point of confusion is whether to have the 'smart' module plugged-in when you remove/insert batteries. It seems to differ based on exactly what you're trying to do. I eventually got it all set up, though.
I also had a minor issue with placing the WiFi bridge module. I have an outlet that I *thought* was ideally placed: it's on the same wall as the door, only about four feet away. It's also unused and hidden behind furniture, so perfect for my purposes. Unfortunately, I could not get the bridge to connect to my WiFi from this spot. When I moved it to the other side of the room, it connected up just fine. I thought this was strange, as it's only about a 15' difference and there are no additional obstructions besides a cheap couch--which 2.5GHz should zip right through. Who knows?
With everything working, I'm very satisfied. Auto-unlock (when my phone gets in range) works superbly, and I like that I can set it to automatically lock as well. The app is reasonably intuitive and stable. All in all, it's the right combination of features and it's nicely executed.
