Yale Assure Lock with Z-Wave, Black Suede Smart Touchscreen Deadbolt Works with Ring Alarm, Samsung SmartThings, Wink (Hub Required, Sold Separately), YRD226-ZW2-BSP

I have Abode home security & automation system and needed a lock that works with it. The Yale Assure lock with z-wave was up and running in 10 minutes (to be fair I have installed a lot of regular dead bolts, this isn't really any different, just have to make sure you put the wires in the right way, but that's pretty easy). The z-wave integration with Abode was easy enough, although if your not tech savy you may struggle with that part. Nice that I can set it up to notify my phone when its open, AND I can lock and unlock through my Abode phone app The lock is grade 2, so better than a regular cheap deadlock you'd pick up at the hardware store, so it is a step up in security, just make sure your strike plate on the door frame using 3 inch long screws that reach the frame, otherwise it won't matter if you have grade1 or 2 or 3 deadbolt- anyone could kick it open in a few seconds. This comes with everything you need, screws and all, just make sure it goes all the way into the frame of the house and not just the trim. The touch screen is very nice and responds very well and the autolock function works really well, especially when you have kids and hands are always full... no fussing with keys is such a luxury that I wish I gotten sooner. This thing looks fancy too. I can't say enough about my first impressions. That being said, I will update in 3 and 6 months... Update: a few months in and I couldn’t be happier. Opening it 5 times a day at least and battery is still strong. No issues, works great!!

The Yale lock itself works well, seems well build and has easy to follow instructions for installation. (which is why I gave the product 5 stars). However Ring users be advised that the Z-Wave link to the Ring hub is not able to control the schedules for the lock itself (Ring does not support it). For instance: You can sync Ring codes to the Yale lock and set a schedule in the ring app. The codes will still unlock the deadbolt at any time of day, even outside of the set schedule. If a code is used to unlock the deadbolt outside of the schedule it will not disarm the ring system and the alarm will sound after the entry delay. While it is nice to be able to have the Ring system disarmed when you unlock the door, we purchased it hoping to provide access control on a schedule which is currently impossible when connecting Z-Wave locks to the Ring system. If you are a Ring user interested in access control you may be better off looking for another smart lock (Yale has some) that has it's own control app that can handle schedules and forgo the convenience of the "auto disarm when unlocking/arming when locking" feature that Ring offers.

I got this for a number of reasons: 1) I'm trying to convert into a smart house (have this and an ecobee thermostat, lights are next on the list). 2) One of my roommates loses their keys constantly, so having a keyless entry was beneficial 3) We've been doing work on the house including getting central a/c and having the windows replaced, so having a way for contractors to access the house is great I got this with a keyed entry in addition to the number pad, in case of electrical failure. However, other than testing the keys, we've yet to use them, and I installed this about six months ago. So far, the batteries have not died, and there's been no other electrical failure (knock on wood). I've read a few reviews saying that the key pad wasn't responsive, but neither I nor my roommates have had any problems with that, though it did take a few days to figure out what they meant by "back of the hand to activate" was actually "back of the fingers". We got the hang of it in less than a week, so I'm not sure what else to suggest to people having problems. The nickle finish is smooth and sleek looking. It's quite pretty, and matches a lot of the brushed nickle objects I have in the house. The only hiccup I had was getting it on the wifi, but after I plugged my smartthings hub in closer to the lock, I was able to connect it with no problems, and it stayed connected even after I moved the hub back to its normal location. I especially like that I can lock or unlock from my phone, so that when I come home with a lot of groceries, I don't have to worry about fumbling for keys or stopping to put in a code. I can just unlock it from my car before I even start picking up my grocery bags. This lock was an investment because of the price, but I'd definitely say a good one. Note: I had a pretty smooth installation, so I can't say whether support is good or not for those who have problems. Hopefully, everyone else purchasing this product has as easy an install as I did.

I like the integration with Alexa and Ring, and they don't use up batteries like two other brands I tried. I prefer the number pad which disappears when not in use over a fingerprint or bluetooth style of opening. Battery life very good. No problems at all! UPDATE: I RARELY WRITE BAD REVIEWS. After just a little over a year (and of course, out of warranty), the touchpad quit working. (I had purchased 3 of these locks!) I called support to troubleshoot; they had me send a video and a copy of my Amazon receipt. I was told I needed a new touchpad. I sent to them what was requested, then was told I needed a whole new unit because "it was out of warranty" . I then emailed and asked why they told me I just needed the touchpad.. They replied that they "don't sell parts". I emailed again and asked why they has just told me otherwise, they emailed they could "give me" a 20% discount if I bought it off the Yale website, but didn't give me the code. I had to email yet again for the code. Then they gave me the code. It is AnahiJ-WH54837. I went to their site and it is out of stock. My suggestions: either buy a more reliable lock or spend the $79 for a 3 year extended warranty for this $300 lock. If it is going to fail, it will probably do so in 3 years (just a guess). I just think such an expensive item should have lasted much, much longer.

The is the 2nd Yale Zwave deadbolt that I bought. The first one (RYD210) was bought back in 2011 and it is still work well. I replace it because the color on the outside is all dull due to 12 years weather exposure. This touchscreen one look much more luxurious and I like the voice instruction is very convenience. Also the sound effort is much soft. But other than that, the installation design and functions are all pretty much sme as 12 years ago. And work just the same. Fairly reliable with few issues that can be resolved by completely reset and reprogram. The only thing lack is the random code feature that Kiwkset/Weiser has so people cannot see your finger print to guest your code.

Slick looks, works like a charm

Excelente producto.

I’ve had this a few years. It’s awful. I have tried to like it as they are expensive. The deadbolt always goes into the locked position when you walk by the door causing it to bang into your door casing. It won’t actually lock however when you want it too easily. The screen is very difficult to turn on to key in your pin. It’s also very evident because of the touch screen what 4 numbers get pushed for the pin. I have used a lot of similar locks. This one is an awful experience and very frustrating.
