Works Great – Long Battery Life
Best smart door lock that goes over your existing deadbolt out there!Physical installation is simple and takes 10 – 15 minutes depending on if/how you install the door sensor. If you’re drilling it into the door jamb for a hidden look like I did, it’s a good idea to have some krazy glue on hand because if the hole you drill is even a hair too wide in diameter, the sensor wont stay snug in it. A little glue solves that easily.The wifi setup can be a bit if a pain in the butt the first time you do it because you have to turn off Intelligent wifi on your phone (don’t waste your time guessing which option to turn off, just turn them ALL off until you’re done setup) and you may have to allow the lock set to do software updates, which can take a while. Also, if the wifi module doesn’t connect the first time, don’t get too frustrated or discouraged. Just make sure you’re close to it, and close enough to a wifi access point to have a decent signal, and try it again. It will work the 2nd (or 3rd) time! And for those who want to complain about the wifi module being separate… I’ll take that option all day long because it means the batteries last 4x longer than models that have an integrated wifi module!After you’re through initial setup, it works GREAT! Totally worth the time it takes to install, even if it’s a bit cumbersome to do. Fingerprint functionality is really convenient for the wife and me and I also like that I can assign different entry codes for all the kids.I’m typically very wary of items that have less than a 4 star rating on Amazon but for once I’m really glad I ignored the relatively low rating (3.8 stars as of this review) and went with it. Liked the first one on the front door so much that I bought 2 more for the other exterior doors on our house!

Might be perfect, if you are just the right person
I am quite happy with this unit, but it took (1) knowing exactly what I needed, and (2) getting it working just right. Let me explain…First, I wouldn’t get this unit unless you are sure it is what you need in terms of features. I personally needed a smart lock with a fingerprint reader, a keypad, and the option to use a traditional key. On top of that I wanted pretty decent battery life, and didn’t mind the requirement for a wifi bridge to be plugged in nearby. So given all that, the unit was a fit for me.Once installed, I noticed a lot of hang-ups where the lock couldn’t extend all the way when the door was shut. It turns out that the resistance was too much for the little motor, maybe just when the weather was hot and humid. A little bit of tweaking to make sure my door was closing all the way and was nice and straight in the frame may have helped, but the issue persisted somewhat. Then I had to be sure the latch plate was lining up perfectly (which it wasn’t before). Not everyone can do that kind of stuff, but it was quite easy for me as a reasonably handy dad.Now, a couple months in, I am happy. My older visitors don’t have any trouble, nor do my youngsters, and the lock never gets stuck even if hot and humid or cold and dry. Battery life is looking pretty good too. The only drawback I have discovered is that you have to have a phone number to have a fingerprint, which I would’ve preferred to know in advance, but anyone without a phone can still use their code, or a key, or I can simply unlock for them from my device.

Room for improvement
I’m very familiar with smart locks, have installed quite a few from several different brands. My front door (double doors) is full of Schlage hardware. I have the very expensive Schalge Encode Plus but never liked it and decided to go back to the original keys door lock and try out this Yale unit.The good – the design and lock hardware for the door is really nice. Solid, easy to install, and makes a lot of sense.The bad – there are several, most of it Yale could fix with a software update:1 – no Matter support even though Yale claimed it would be available later in 2024. We are hitting Q2 2025 and no Matter2 – the door positioning sensor. You have two choices, the easiest is to surface mount it next to the lock. In my case it would be on the secondary door – which is a darkly stained door with all oil rubbed hardware. A white unit would look absolutely awful. The second choice is to drill into my expensive door to add in the unit on the door edge – again, a no-go. If they offered this thing in black that would be better3 – no auto lock without the door sensor. This is just dumb because every other lock out there offers this. Further, you can still get around this using your smart home. I am a SmartThings user with Home Assistant as a secondary (they are tied together) for things SmartThings doesn’t handle well. I just have SmartThings setup to auto-lock the door.4 – WiFi bridge is oversized; I have other units with smaller bridges. Further, the bridge SHOULD be built into the lock itself5 – WiFi bridge setup required turning off intelligent WiFi settings to set it up (with no explanation of what it wanted shut off exactly…took some research to find it). No other bridge I have setup requires that.6 – Keypad is slow to read fingerprints and you seem to need to tap an extra button to wake it up.7 – the lock wants to decide whether your phone is connected to WiFi or Bluetooth. How about I pick and leave it on WiFi because that’s what I want8 – the app is…okay. Not thrilled with it, but works9 – SmartThings integration is a bit too basic. Why not integrate it with most of the same functions as the Yale App?Overall, this is okay. From my research, this is the best retrofit solution out there, but PLENTY of room for improvement…most Yale could fix with a simple firmware update

So far so good! Reliable setup.
Have just installed it, but the installation and setup process was flawless (lock + hub + keypad). I read many reviews about unreliable setup especially with android/pixel phones, but my setup (March 2026) was perfect via my Pixel 8. It sounds like perhaps Yale/August has made a lot of improvements to the software. I’ll update this review if I have issues over time, but so far it’s been working well. The finger print reader is fairly slow, as others have mentioned.

Missing Parts
Purchased “like new”. Missing many parts, not just a few. Completely unusable, lesson learned.
