Wyze Auto-Lock Bolt, Fingerprint Keyless Entry Door Smart Bluetooth Deadbolt Replacement, Backlit Keypad, IPX5 Weatherproof, in-App History and Scheduled Access, BHMA, UL 20-Min Fire Rated

I looked at a bunch of smart locks, chose WYZE due to reviews & the fact I have been happy with 3 cameras & a smart outlet from them. The lock was simple to install, took me about 25 minutes, but I have arthritis in my hands. The lighter color was a very close match for our existing hardware, which is a plus. You can lock by simply hitting the lock key on the pad. Unlocking is done with the fingerprint sensor or the keypad using whatever code you choose. The sensor doesn't work for me, but I think it's because of a skin issue I have. It works 100% correctly for my wife. Using the keypad is easy, it lights up in the dark, which is a plus. It's so nice not having to carry a bunch of keys & fiddle with them while holding bags or whatever, trying to unlock the door. I only wish I'd gone to one of these years ago.It takes AA batteries & the app tells you when they're getting low. The keypad will also glow red to let you know. They're on the inside so you don't have to open the door to change them. So far, we're getting about 6 weeks between battery changes, which could be better, but I can live with that.The app is fine. Takes about 6 seconds to connect to the lock & lets you lock/unlock & also keeps a log of each time the lock is opened or closed & by whom. Let's you update firmware & has a manual that's easy to access & use, though I haven't needed it but the one time. There are locks you can pay more for that may have more bells & whistles, but this one is a good value based on features, reliability (so far) & price, in my opinion. Recommended.

My Wyze auto deadbolt was installed about a year and a half before this review. This the experience I have had with it.The installation instructions are very easy to follow and understand. I have installed deadbolts in the past and this was easy. The app that connects via Bluetooth works well, and the features is offers are very useful. Set my family up in the app and we were off and running. Here are some pros and cons I have.ProsDurability of the lock has been amazing. It gets used about 5-10 times a day, and never had a problem where we couldn't get in our house. The lock is very strong and secure.Battery life is very good. You can check battery life in the app. After about 6 months of use the battery only went down 30%. I didn't know if this was calculated percentage by usage or actual battery life, so I changed the batteries and it went back to 100% after about a day.The fingerprint key-less entry is so nice, but with the fingerprint sensor like on the lock and on other devices. If your finger is wet or something has blocked or changed your fingerprint, it will not work. I just use the keypad when this happens.There are some nice features in the app. My favorites are you can set the deadbolt to auto lock after a set time. This is nice when your forgetful like we are. You can add users with just a code to get access, like a contractor or something like that. One feature saved us while we were on vacation. Our neighbor need to get into our house and check something after a bad storm. The app offers a one time use code that will unlock the deadbolt. The app does need to be connected to the internet to access this feature.Overall, this deadbolt from Waze was a game changer for us. Its nice not having to carry keys for the house anymore.Note: If there is any resistance on your current deadbolt when you unlock it. You will have to adjust your striker plate for this deadbolt to work properly. Wyze does offer support with this concern that is in the instruction.

I received the dead bolt the same day. Which was amazing. Installation was easy, programming was also easy. The instructions are very straight forward and well written. This lock has a lot of great features. I especially like the Auto Lock function. You have the option of setting the Auto Lock for many delay times, 15, 30 etc. seconds and also can set a specific block of time for this feature. This is a safety item that every household should consider.

I really really wish this had Wi-Fi so I could check my lock status and lock/unlock remotely. But other than that this thing is great. It was extremely easy to install. As easy as any deadbolt. Setup was very easy. The app is great, the fingerprint reader is great, the keypad is great, it functions fast and smooth with the keypad, fingerprint, and Bluetooth app. The lock/unlock log with users is great.. sensing someone a one time use pass code works flawlessly.. Connecting is very fast. By the time I walk up to my door my phone is already connected to it and all I have to do is click the unlock button and it will unlock immediately. Which worked great the one time I got home from work and my hands were so dirty that the fingerprint reader wouldn't work and I forgot the pin. LOL. I like that there is a variety of ways to unlock it. I've used them all and I love them all. The main way that I enter my home now is through fingerprint. No more taking keys out of my pocket while my arms are full and digging around trying to find a key or remembering what password I sent the PIN code to. And not even having to take my phone out of my pocket to use the app if I don't want to. I just walk up to the door, touch the fingerprint reader, it unlocks and I go inside.Perfect.
