Yale Assure Lock SL - Key Free Smart Lock with Touchscreen Keypad - Works with Apple HomeKit and Siri (YRD256iM1619) in Satin Nickel

Perfect, sleek Apple HomeKit compatible KEYLESS Lock! There is NO Keyhole to bump or pick! Once set up, you DON'T need your phone or a fob on you to Lock/Unlock the door which is what a lot of the others require.Installation: Easy to install in an existing standard deadbolt door hole. Remove old deadbolt, install new stuff, per instructions. I personally didn't have to change anything. Comes with three different depth depth screws for attaching the exterior touch keypad to the interior locking/network mechanism to accommodate most all door thicknesses. I used the medium(black) ones in my set up.Set up:Pretty easy, just follow Yale Secure app instructions (download and login first), Need to Set Up Master Code first, I believe.Two minor issue during set up, not enough to lose a star:1) Instructions are little confusing on the initial "Master Code" Setup part due to the way the instructions are written (maybe the video from the BILT website/app is more clear?), but once that was over it was pretty straight forward. Hint: after covering the key pad with your hand, press the "Gear Icon" before trying to enter your Master Code. The audio makes it seem like you enter it immediately, but you need to hit the gear icon first. Then it will prompt you the rest of the way. To set up User codes -> Use the app, much easier! ("Yale Secure" is the correct one, I know there are others out there even if you have other Yale smart locks you need to use the Yale Secure App, I believe) 2) Not super clear that you need to touch the keypad with 2 or more fingers or back of hand to activate it before entering Key code or that covering the keypad with you hand (after all set up is done) will lock it AKA the "One-Touch Lock". Some of the advanced setting functions are not explained very well in the app, but are in the documentation if you dig a bit. HomeKit integration with the iM1 module version is flawless, follow the instructions on setup in the Yale Secure app and it'll show up in Apple "Home" in HomeKit under "Default Room" and you can go from there adding it to scenes all that jazz.Improvements that would be nice, but not showstoppers:Show what keycode was used to unlock the door in the notification, instead of generic "Front Door Unlocked" message. However,this may just be a HomeKit limitation and an easy software update (Get on it, Yale & Apple!).Overall: Great smart lock with HomeKit integration that doesn't have a keyhole or require a fob or phone to unlock. Slim and sleek keypad design looks great even on our craftsman bungalow door, doesn't take away or try to be too 'Edgy'. Works great day to day once you get over the few set up issues that an be cleared up with better documentation. Leave the keys and phone at home and go for a distraction free bike ride or walk!

Súper funcional!, muy buena estética, sencilla configuración, cerradura muy intuitiva, su integración con HOME dé Apple excelente, recomendable 100%

I recently had some unwelcome guests move out of my house. I needed to change the locks on my three doors. Instead of having the re-keyed or buy new door deadbolts and door handles, I decided to integrate a secure deadbolt into my Apple HomeKit system.I researched all of the available locks out there. Most either used current deadbolt (not an option for me since I would have to re-key) or they replaced the deadbolt and still used a key.I don't like the security of keys. Watching youtube, seems like bumping a lock is vey simply with instructions right there on the web. I wanted no key, first I have locked myself out in the past and hate leaving a key on the parameter of the house. And second, I like the the security of no key.Yale has an excellent reputation in the lock business. I found this keyless, Homekit enabled lock and decided to purchase three for all my doors. The fit and finish are excellent. Yale has developed an outstanding application for supporting these locks and they integrated directly into Apples Home application.I found the installation straight forward and easy. I upgraded my door jam plate with a very robust one I found on Amazon. The door, once locked, is very secure from kicking in to other means of bypassing keys.Very impressed with the ease of setup in Apple's Home application. It installs fast and painlessly. Yale's application makes entering passcodes for guest very easy and straight forward, Up to 25 guest codes can be entered for each lock. Also, status is immediate so you know when they are operated and by whom.Though I've had the locks for only 2 weeks, my battery lift is showing 100% on all three locks. I've operating them many times just playing with them. The key is to make sure you align the deadbolt so there is no pressure needed for the lock to close the bolt. I have my garage entry door not all the way closed and issued a command to lock, it did lock but it used a lot of force closing the door completely while inserting the bolt. This caused the unit to beep at me indicating excessive use of battery current.So, you want good battery life? Make sure you align the deadbolt and door faceplate.I have a simple scene where I can say or do a "Lock Down" and the Home application will ensure all three locks are closed. This provides peace of mind. I am also notified when the locks are used while I'm away.Someone mentioned a person standing outside saying "Hey Siri, unlock front door". This will not work if you do not have a device to validate the command. You must use your iPhone or iPad to acknowledge to unlock the command. It is easier to simply enter the code on the key pad. Now when you say "Hey Siri, lock the front door" it will immediately lock the doors. No need for validation from a known device. This has been well thought out.

I bought two of these for my house to use with Homekit. I installed the locks and set them up per the instructions, but they could only be controlled remotely when my phone was very close to the lock with bluetooth on. So, for example, from my bedroom I could not operate either lock. Not through the Yale app and not through Homekit. I called Yale technical support and other than asking me a questions, they really didn’t do any troubleshooting. They wanted to send me a new module for one of the locks, not both, and see if that fixed it. They said if that doesn’t fix it, it might be a software issue or that I might need to call Apple and ask them to help me.Well, I am not going to be Yale’s guinea pig. I have already spent half a Saturday installing two locks and more hours trying to get these things to work correctly. I am not going to wait for one module to come in the mail, then spend time with their tech support working on that, and probably more time working on their software. I already have two modules because I have two locks and neither work. So how is another module going to fix it? And if it does then I have to wait for them to send yet another module for the second lock? I have many other products set up and working on Homekit, so I know the issue is with this product, not my setup.For what it’s worth to anyone still reading and considering this lock, I did learn that the lock works by bluetooth, not wifi, which really surprised me. My guess is that’s a bad design choice in the first place. Bluetooth is very short range. Even when they are working correctly, they communicate directly with your Homekit hub, so a HomePod, Apple TV, iPad, etc. That means that unless your house is very small, you’ll have to have a hub near every lock. I did try putting my HomePod Mini right next to the lock and that still didn't fix my issue. But anyone with a large house is going to need multiple hubs and those aren't cheap.The Yale app is pretty poor as well, there’s not much you can do there to check the status of the locks to do any troubleshooting. If they’re working they work, and if not the status just shows as “reading.” There’s no way to see if they are or are not connecting to your hub or try to reset that connection. So when they don’t work correctly, there’s really nothing you can do except just go through the whole install process again and hope.I am returning these and will try a different lock.
