I purchased this lock back in April still toThis day I am grateful I made this purchase . Battery life is amazing since April it’s only at 84% very easy to use . Great app to control the lock and user friendly . Comes with extra keys. I love that I can keep track of who’s also coming in and out of the house and what time ( teenagers are monitored ) . It stays connected even while power is out so you don’t have to worry about not being able to get in and it’s very quiet it will sound when locking and unlocking . Great lock for the price I won’t purchase anything else

very happy

I was so pleased with the first lock that I installed a year-and-a-half ago that I bought another one. This is a follow-up from my first lock review (see below).DOCUMENTED PERFORMANCEAfter more than a year, I can say that the first unit has performed flawlessly. And I am still on the first set of batteries I installed! I only use the lock about once a day, but the result indicates there is no incidental power drain taking place.EASE OF INSTALLATIONThe instructions are a bit sketchy, but having installed one before the actual process itself is super-easy. I strongly advise that you watch one of the many videos on this installation if you are not familiar with such things. Replacing an existing, compatible lock does not take a special skillset, but re-reading the instructions four times will slow you down.TOOLS/PROCEDURESUnlike most companies, they give you plenty of extra screws and parts. You even get a half-decent screw-driver. Obviously if you are installing this in a blank door, you will need tools to cut all of the various holes. If you are replacing an existing lock, you will likely need to drill one hole. A quality drill bit is included! All the holes are easily lined up with an included template.COMPLAINTSI suspect that 95% of the complaints that the lock did not work properly after installing are due to failure to identify the door as being either right or left handed, and setting the controls accordingly (see comment below).I haven't gotten into any programming other than setting up passcodes. I can, however, see that the programming directions are quite confusing. This is a complaint others have voiced. Again, I would defer to videos or explanations on various websites. It's a lock, and supported by many installers.=============FIRST LOCK REVIEWThis lock has performed flawlessly, on the same batteries I might add, for 15 months. Never fails to open with the keypad, or with BlueTooth. The BlueTooth works better than advertised--at least 50 yards away. This unit is installed under a small porch roof, with minimal exposure to weather other than in a heavy blow.Simple to install. Direct replacement for standard deadbolt setup. MAKE SURE YOU PERFORM BOTH STEPS TO SET IT UP FOR EITHER RIGHT OR LEFT HAND DOOR! 1) Move internal switch to proper position. 2) Turn knob to the orientation they specify BEFORE you start installing.This is an attractive and well-built unit. I expect the mechanical parts to function for my lifetime. The life of the electronics are anyone's guess. However, with the quality I see built into the mechanics, I doubt they would skimp on the electronics. After having done much research on this unit, I am extremely pleased with the result.

Install: This only should have taken about 20-25 minutes to install but because I had a window frame ridge I had to file that down to get the lock mount on the inside to fit. Entire time for me was 45 minutes and a lot of sweat. That wasn't their fault. The strange thing is the inside lock mount is wider than the outside lock mount so I didn't have to file anything for the outside mount.I did drill the hole in the door for the upper screw mount (with supplied drill bit) but couldn't use the supplied templates because my window framing on the door prevented that from setting correctly so I merely positioned the lock, held the gasket in place and removed the lock marking the hole with the rubber gasket. I thought I had it correctly positioned but it was a little off and the bottom part of the lock and the top screw didn't line up just right. I had to try to bore the hole wider to get it to fit. When I did this the supplied drill bit broke. I also thought the mounting hardware illustrations and which screws to use could have been better illustrated.Usage:When I downloaded the app from android play store I immediately got a warning saying that that app could be harmful to my phone. I never got a message from any other app like this. I double checked it and installed it. I also saw a screen with a lot of Chinese print on it when I got this warning, very scary.The first thing I would like to say is that Bluetooth is absolutely worthless for a door lock in my opinion. You have to be 2 meters or less to do anything so you might as well just get a manual lock that you put in the codes standing by the door. It's like having a phone app for the microwave, what's the point? (by the way , Whirlpool includes wifi control with their microwave app) You can get the gateway device FOR AN EXTRA $40 to work with wifi but I think this should have been included.The most frustrating thing so far has been the autolock feature does not seem to work consistently with manual unlocking. I have contacted CSR to verify this and will update if and when I hear back. Also when it does autolock it makes a bunch of beeps and I don't know why it does that.There are more frustrations with the manual. The picture displays are so small you can't see what they are illustrating, the English grammar is bad, and has lots of misspellings. Clearly a Chinese product half-baked without the help of Americans or English speaking people.Another problem with the app features us that they are hard to understand what they do or are not explained at all in the manual or app. I understand the passcodes and generating them , that is good and easy to do but they have other things like admin, ekeys, privacy lock and many more that are not properly explained or explained at all.A BIG frustration is the records in the app. Most lock apps will show you a record of EVERYTHING. This one does not seem to show manual locks/unlocks or autolocks in the records. Another weird thing is if you lock it with the app, it shows "Locked". If you unlock it with the app, it shows "Unlock with App". Do they even have a QA department???Update : Issue with autolock being inconsistent - It was determined (by much trial and error) that the deadbolt was not sliding freely to its full extension on autolock. It would autolock once and beep many times but when you unlocked it again manually it would not autlock again.I replaced my receiver bracket with the one that came with it and moved it side ways a little and then noticed that the knob position was fully at 3:00 on autolock instead of the 2:00 position it was before. Autolock worked every time after this. NOWHERE in the manual or the trouble shooting tips does it mention these error beeps.Update: Melody from Smonet contacted me and was very helpful in assisting me with the use of the lock.

Looks nice, has lots of functionality with the app, was easy to install. Have not run into any issues with it. However, there are a few things I noticed with this smart lock.This smart lock boasts bluetooth capability and I had thought it would use bluetooth proximity from my phone to lock/unlock, but it can't. For example if I got home and walked to the door with my phone in my pocket, the smart lock would unlock. However, this lock does not have that feature.In addition, the material the touchpad is made of will make it very evident of what buttons are being pressed over time. So you will need to either clean the touchpad every once in a while or change your passcode to use other numbers, for security purposes.Lastly the keys that come with the smart lock look and feel very cheap.

Totally installed myself, clear instructions. In the app, there are several ways to unlock then the door, with key, use passcode, use app via bluetooth, or remotely.However I didn’t find too many ways to lock the door. On the end I find there is a auto lock function, I can choose duration time like after unlock 20 second, then lock the door. Works every time. I used rogers security system, I always need to go back and check if I lock the door or not. But with this one, I can just forget it cause I know it will auto lock itself.

The locksmith guy wasn't familiar with it, but installed it without any significant problems, and pointed out that its neoprene seal will protect it again water damage in driving rain, which appears to have impaired three previous locks of ours of a better-known brand (that starts with "Sch"—never again).Being able to lock and unlock with the app is nice. The Auto-lock feature is quite useful. The automatic record of locking/unlocking (but only when that's done with the app) is a bonus. The remote locking would be useful, but requires a Gateway, which is a separate purchase. The best feature (when it works) is being able to give someone an eKey or Passcode for a set date and time period (so a tenant's access automatically expires at the end of their tenancy period), or one-time only, or on a recurring basis.The key (no pun intended) phrase here is "when it works". After nearly a month's use, the biggest problem is the software, which has confusing interface issues, and curious glitches. For some reason, the lock/unlock settings have reversed. (The FAQ acknowledges this problem, and suggests a fix by switching a toggle "on the back panel", which we have no idea what that means, as it is not shown in the diagram.) Also, it is unclear what is the difference (or the relationship) between "Passcodes" and "eKeys", and setting someone up with either only for worked for two of us—the other two are having to use the physical key. The good news is that the physical keys cannot be duplicated.Bottom line: if the software glitches and interface were to be fixed, this lock would rate a full five stars. As it is, it's good, but with limitations.

Since my existing deadbolt (combination type) decided to dye on us during this lockdown period, I was forced to get a replacement. Looked on Amazon and saw this one, and the bluetooth features looked like it would come in handy, since I'm lazy, I can unlock the door without going to do it!!It arrived quickly complete with instructions, template and drill bit for the mounting screw and a screw driver, only thing needed was 4 AA batteries.Since I was installing it into a previous deadbolt lock hole, it was fairly easy to do, took less than 20 minutes.The keypad glows nicely, easy to see in all light conditions and very responsive to touch.Download the app to set up codes, lock and unlock all with phone's bluetooth (so you have to be within range).It is compatible with a gateway, but I do not need that feature, but good to know.It also comes with two keys, which cannot be copied, plus if the battery dies, you can hold a 9-volt to it and still operate the lock if you need to. I also like the feature to set it to auto lock after a prescribed time period, very handy just in case!Overall, very happy with this bluetooth deadbolt lock.

Easy to install and operate. App integration is nice, pretty much everything can be done on app. Customer support is great for any help needed with installation or operation.
