Kwikset Halo Wi-Fi Smart Lock, Keyless Entry Front Door Touchscreen Deadbolt, App Control, Grade AAA Certified, Easy Install No Hub, Venetian Bronze Finish, Digital Remote Lock

Voice command unlocking ability
I have never changed door handles or deadbolts before, but this was very straightforward. All that is needed is a Phillips screwdriver. The instructions are well written, and the illustrations are clear and helpful. The hardest part about this was getting the lock to pair with my phone. If you have a wifi repeater put it as close to the lock as possible. After MANY failed attempts, I moved my repeater to within 4 feet of the lock, and it paired on the first attempt. I then put the repeater back in its usual spot, and 5he lock continues to work well. The app is intuitive, and easy to use. I connected it to Google home, and Alexa, and now i can use voice commands to lock or unlock, as well as check the status(locked or unlocked). The lock can be set to lock at a specific time. The best part is being able to unlock my door while on my way home, so I can bring in groceries without fumbling to open the lock. There is a geofencing capability, which unlocks the lock upon your return, which is really awesome. But due to the area I live in, it wasn’t reliable. So i just use voice commands to unlock it while still in my car. I have been using it for two weeks now, and the battery is at 90%, which seems reasonable, due to all my experiments with it.

Update: JUNK.
Update: The batteries needed to be changed and since then, cannot pair, cannot connect. Goes through an endless loop of Bluetooth pairing which fails because the lock is already configured, so factory reset the lock, then try to pair again, then a fail because device is already paired, then delete the pairing and try to re-pair, which fails because it cannot connect to the Internet even though the Internet is fine, then needing full access to contact history and calls. ABSOLUTE PIECE OF JUNK.I bought this to replace a Schlage unit of similar specs and main concern was that it fit the existing cutout and had a telephone keypad setup. It was also one of the lower priced models.Installation seems to be well though out. Each step of the install had a separate box with the items needed. Only tool needed for my installation was a Phillps screwdriver but you may need additional tools to drill holes or cleanup the door jamb. The instructions include a QR Code to access a video version of the installation which I turned to for some portions.Installation mostly followed the manual. I used a Dremel to cleanup the strike plate seating as the strike plate is much longer than the previous one and slightly narrower. Seating the exterior keypad was a bit cumbersome as it kept falling off while adjusting. I used painters tape to hold it in place while I threaded the connectors through. One minor annoyance was that the connector from the exterior keypad to the lock mechanism doesn’t click into place which made me unsure if it was seated correctly. It was a bit fiddly to put in place but worked.On attaching the batteries the lock did a calibration step. Per the instructions, if it failed I would need to adjust but it didn’t really say what needed to be adjusted. This step is important as it affects the usage of the lock.Once that was completed, attaching the interior cover was a bit fiddly also. There are two screws that hold the interior mechanism to a mounting plate. They are not counter-sunk. When attaching the cover these screws got in the way so you have to carefully line up the cover. Then you add two screws to secure the plate. These also are not counter-sunk and protrude. They are also not rounded so seem unfinished and ill-fitting. I could see catching a finger on this bit of metal. Minor but annoying.The battery cover plate was annoying to remove. There are no ridges, just a shiny piece of black plastic, so it was neeedlessly difficult to access.All of these were annoyances but the reason for the 3 stars is that using the app to program the lock requires registering with the Kwikset site and giving an email and a phone number and Wifi network access. I don’t use those features and there didn’t seem to be a way to bypass this. The reason this is annoying is because there are countless hacks against IoT databases. I don’t know Kwiksets security stance but given the history of other “security” devices, it’s definitely a concern. The app allows you to set features such as Auto-lock and Auto-Unlock, Lock sound, battery state, Status LED, etc.. You can also remotely unlock the door when on the same Wifi network.Once all this is setup you can use the lock. The exterior keypad is black until you touch the screen. Enter the code and with luck, the lock will open.In summary, the lock works. If it were more expensive I’d probably return it but for the price it’s acceptable.

Excelente, la recomiendo ampliamente, me fue muy facil instalarla y configurarla que luego resulta muy complicado, en este caso me fue muy sencillo y la cerradura trabaja perfectamente, obviamente como todo este tipo de cerraduras consume las baterías con cierta velocidad pero no mas que otras cerraduras electrónicas que he usado mucho mejor que 2 cerraduras Yale que he tenido y ambas dieron problemas en poco tiempo y se consumian las baterías a una velocidad increible Gran Cerradura!!!

Se instala muy fácil, muy amigable para emparejar con app. Responde siempre sin problemas de desconexión.La recomiendo.

Buen producto, fácil de instalar
