YaleAssure Lock Deadbolt, Satin Nickel Digital Touchscreen Keypad with Z-Wave and Backup Key for Front or Back Entry Door, YRD226-ZW2-619

Our Schlage keypad deadbolt lock broke after 8yrs of service. I decided to replace it with the Yale Assure Z Wave smart lock to integrate it with our SmartThings (ST) hub.Installation was very easy. The only issue I ran into was the deadbolt mechanism did not operate smoothly when I first installed it. The installation diagram mentions you need to check that it moves freely at each step of the way and although I thought I followed the directions it was still sticking. It appears the deadbolt mechanism and the interior/exterior covers have very small tolerance so you need to constantly check for smooth operation while mating and fastening them through the deadbolt mechanism (it might help with an extra pair of hands).One thing I dislike is the included rectangular strike plate for the door frame. It would have been nice if Yale provided a plate with a lip.As for programming the lock, there are many reviews/comments saying this Z Wave lock does not show who unlocked the deadbolt in the ST app log. This is inaccurate. You can see who unlocked the deadbolt if you follow the directions below:1) Follow the directions that came with the lock including the step where you set your master entry code2) DO NOT create regular entry codes using the keypad. If you created entry codes from the lock's keypad, ST history log will only show "Code 2" or "Code 3" as the one who unlocked the deadbolt. If you created codes using the keypad, you'll have to do a factory reset and start over.3) Open the ST app on your phone (I'm using an iPhone app) and on the upper left corner of the screen, tap the three horizontal bars (menu bar)4) Select SmartApps5) Add the Smart Lock Guess Access widget by tapping on it6) Once the widget is added, you'll see the widget on the main screen. Select the widget.7) In the upper left corner of the widget screen, select Lock Codes and then select Invite Guest8) Complete all three fields and save them for each account you are creating. The info provided in the "Who will be using this lock?" field is what will be shown in the log.9) You can click on 'History' in the upper right corner and you'll see that each account has been created with a date/time stamp.10) Users can start using their entry codes immediately. However, their unlock history will not be logged. It seems it takes 4-6 hrs for the user log history to be activated in ST. After 4-6 hrs, when a user unlocks with their code, the history log will show the date/person/time of when the deadbolt unlocked.11) You can turn on notifications in the ST app and iPhone to notify you each time the deadbolt is unlocked.

Adiós a mi viejo Kwikset, siempre me tocaba cambiarle baterías, vivía descargado. Yale Impecable, funciona muy bien el mecanismo, me fue fácil configurarlo con mis sistema de seguridad en casa de marca Vivint, su instalación solo te tomará unos cuantos minutos

UPDATE: YALE has replaced the lock and the new one works perfectly! Great customer service!Bought a broken lock. The only good news after Yale technical support confirmed that the lock was defective was that I could tell my wife that I wasn't installing it incorrectly and that we didn't need to hire a handyman to properly replace the door lock/emasculate me. That made me feel good...for like a second, until she lambasted me for buying a "refurbished" item to save like $20. But, I mean, $20 is $20, and if I buy like 25 more "refurbished" items that would almost pay for her next round of botox. So in actuality, I wasn't being cheap, I was being selfless and putting the needs of my wife ahead of my own. Personally, I think that makes me a hero; however, my wife doesn't quite see it that way...but of course, she injects a neurotoxin directly into her face each year which may affect her judgement and therefore I am going to side with myself on this one. Now if you'll excuse me, there's a couch that needs sleeping on.Long story short, I got sold a broken item and it doesn't appear that Amazon will let me return it because I didn't try to install it until after my return window had closed. :(

I was probably spoiled by the feature set of my August lock, because the Yale Assure Lock SL with Z-Wave, Key-Free Touchscreen Deadbolt is a dunce by comparison.The one thing it does well is connect to the Ring Alarm Z-wave hub - - but integration with Ring means forfeiting most of the remote functionality afforded in the August app. That means actually having to touch the lock's screen (complete with using a "master code" and having the five-fold paper manual in front of you translate the functions into push-button sequences) to adjust the volume, enable the inside indicator, configuring one touch or delayed locking,.... basically anything except assigning user codes.Speaking of user codes.... the stand alone lock permits 6 digit user codes, but once it's connected to Ring, you're limited to 4 digits - - (connecting the lock to my home security system limits codes to 4 digits instead of the native 6 - - go figure).There's no geo-fencing, no one-time user codes (huh?), and no time constrained (schedule based) codes (The Ring app politely informs me, "Schedules can't be used with smart locks at this time"). . The lock has no "door sense" feature to tell you if the the door's been left ajar. Quite oddly (stupidly?), the auto lock time delay can't be set to more than 30 seconds.To its credit, keypad entry is smooth, and the more classic manual deadbolt knob confuses less people than the August's hulky mechanism. Installation was easy and required no retrofits to our existing door or latch bores.Mercifully, the lock connects to Alexa via Ring. Alexa allows locking and unlocking to be controlled in routines. I used the Ring alarm door sensor "closed" as a trigger to auto lock after a wait period of my choosing.Overall I'm underwhelmed both with the device's native feature set and the primitive Ring alarm integration. The Alexa connector allows for adequate automation - albeit without geo-fencing. It's one of the very few locks that is certified to work with the Ring alarm Z-wave hub, and the Prime Day pricing wooed me over.
