Easiest way to make your house smarter and easier to use in high traffic doorways
If you have a door with a deadbolt that has plenty of traffic this is the deadbolt for you.Personal Experience:My family uses our man door on the side of our house for nearly everything, from walking the dog to going out back to taking out the trash it is the most heavily trafficked doorway. After a few instances where I was taking late night walks with the dogs and didn’t want to fumble with keys in below freezing temperatures I decided to upgrade to this Z-Wave Deadbolt. Since I installed the deadbolt I have been extremely pleased with its performance. The electronic locking and unlocking features are so simple my 5/yo is able to lock/unlock while I get the dogs ready or cleaned up before going on a walk or into the garage. I also have a home hub which took less time to recognize the device than I spent physically installing the deadbolt (always a win). Having the deadbolt connect to my SmartThings Hub quickly was a huge plus because I hate spending tons of time setting up electronics that should be simple. One of the biggest benefits (IMHO) of connecting the deadbolt to my SmartThings is that I get notifications if the deadbolt is left open longer than an hour. I can also check the status of the lock before I go to bed, because if you are like me, you lay in bed unable to sleep and try to remember if you locked to door until you drag your butt out of bed to check. This unit does use batteries so just be aware that you are going to change them based on your habits, if you use the electronic features a lot you will need to swap out batteries more often. If I get 6 months of battery life based on the amount of traffic I expect than I am very pleased. Finally was the aesthetics of the product is in line with the door knob that I had so the new deadbolt did not look out of place after everything was completed.Pros:Easy to install if replacing and existing deadbolt of the same sizeNumbers and lock symbol are easy to read and pushConnecting to SmartThings was simple and fast (and by fast I mean less than a minute)Z-Wave Plus range and response is excellentColor scheme matched the existing knobs/deadbolts I haveCons:Battery life can drained if used constantly (I see this as cost of having electronic deadbolt but being objective)

Great lock. Some initial issues setting up with Vivint
Great lock. Replaced older version same brand 888 that eventually wore out. Installed in 20 min no problem. Did have a time with getting it setup via Vivint alarm system. In the future, Suggest before installing the back part of lock to get the ZWave connection recognized by the Vivint keypad first. After some of the issues with the setup and what I learned from this install, this is what I would do next time for a VIVINT system. Call Vivint and get tech help to get into the Installer Toolbox screen – this is where you add or remove ZWave devices. Remove the old lock from the system first. Then take the back half of the new lock with the battery pack inserted up next to the Vivint keypad and add the new lock. I had to reboot my keypad after removing the original lock before it would recognize and add the new lock. Overall great lock and the last Kwikset lasted 12 years.

Reliable – Long Battery Life
Bought this lock for use with SmartThings, and it’s been flawless since. I did knock one star for the auto-lock feature because it only has a 30 second option and can only be changed by removing the back cover. Would be nice to adjust the time, particularly via Zwave parameter to make it easier to adjust; so I could run out to get mail without it locking. If you can, it might be better to program the auto-lock in your zwave software for flexibility, but having the lock do it added nice piece of mind since it should be a 100% reliable.The good to great stuff:Install was quick and painless for me to do myself (moderately handy person). The door it was going on was new, so I didn’t have any issues with the lock alignment. The install could take more time if you need to chisel a better fit in the door jamb.Battery life has been better than expected as it is still on the original batteries after 6+ months. This isn’t an everyday door, but it did get consistent use (multiple times a day) for several months and more sporadic use for the last several (couple times a week).The lock itself is great looking and reliable. My other doors were already Kwikset, and it was easy to set the lock to use the current keys. The keypad has nice feel and easy to press numbers.Zwave functionality has been excellent with SmartThings, and they now have the ability to manage lock codes directly in the app. I’ve used this a couple times to create specific codes for family or friends.I definitely recommend this lock and plan to get another one for our other exterior door.

Utilisation a la maison

Turns out that as I tried to install I discovered that my door required the drive-in latch (A2). Apparently this part is considered optional and not included in the box. How do I get this part? Given I can’t use it I’ve put 2 stars for the time being.Update: They manufacturer sent me the part I needed. This has been a very reliable and useful smart lock to own. Very happy with this purchase.
