This is an Awesome addition to my smart home and just works! Once you have setup your access codes, thats it!
I have also hooked this up to my Z-Wave network so I can use a remote fob or smart phone to unlock the door.
A few bad points about the lock:
* You can turn on or off the volume of the lock for spoken commands but overall it is a very noisy lock mechanically. we have a 10 month old baby and when opening or closing the door, this can sometimes wake him up.
* If your doing multiple trips from the car to bring shopping in to the house and need to keep the door closed because of pets, you have to put in your pin every time and when your hands are full, is a massive inconvenience. It would be good to see a shopping feature update so you can keep the handle active for say 5 minutes to give you time to bring in shopping without the hassle of pinning in every time (Firmware Update maybe?).
Good points: -
* Don't need to have keys on you
* Setup on time access for friends and family
* Easy to use and setup
* Hear when anyone tries to enter the house
* Back light for nighttime entry
* Key and external backup if needed
* Looks good compared to other locks
* Z-Wave Compatibility
* Handle is always deactivated even when unlocked so lots more added security unless a pin is put in.
Overall, great lock, added security from a trusted brand.
Would recommend to anyone wanting more security or a unique smart-home feature!
