Yale Assure Lock 2 Touch (New) - Fingerprint Door Lock in Black - Unlock with Your Code or Your Fingerprint - YRD420-F-BLE-BSP - No Wi-Fi

I’ve had a great experience with this. I’ve had it now for about 1.5 years and I love how easy it is to get in the door with the fingerprint. We use it almost daily. The only thing that could improve is the battery life. We actually burn through the batteries fast so if there was ever a next gen one I’d hope they’d improve that.

I needed to be able to check the status, lock, and unlock the door remotely even when not at home. This Yale lock does that. The app works pretty well, quickly showing you the lock status, allowing you to see a log of lock/unlock events, and you can add guest codes and fingerprints. The fingerprint reader works fairly well but I'd like it if you could add multiple fingerprints per person rather than being limited to one. You can kind of do this by creating a guest account for each additional fingerprint, but it's not quite as convenient. Battery life is TBD. I installed the lock with the included alkaline batteries about a month ago. There's no battery level indicator in the app or on the lock itself, but presumably it will notify me somehow once the level gets low. My previous smart lock had a very large Li-Ion battery pack which claimed to get up to 1 year of battery life. The Yale lock only promises 3 months of battery life when using wifi. Not the greatest - I'd love it if they could switch to a larger rechargeable pack, but the quality of the lock itself so far is miles beyond my previous one. So I'll deal with having to change the batteries a few times a year. The keypad so far has worked great despite being in sub-zero weather. My biggest concern with smart locks is their reliability and longevity, so I'll update this review if there are problems down the line. But for now, very happy with it.

The lock (Yale Assure Lock 2 Touch YRD450-F-BLE-BSP) has excellent features, with fingerprint unlock which works fairly well and 'one-touch' locking from the outside. From the inside, the knob is turned to lock/unlock the door. This lock is the 'second' lock on the door. We purchased this lock particularly because it does *not* have a key (which could be picked), because it has decent batteries (4 x AA) and because Yale is a reputable lock brand. As some other reviews mention, although sold by amazon.com.au, the lock doesn't seem supported in Australia (or anywhere other than USA/Canada). This results in - for us - two separate problems (1) extra steps involved in configuring the lock with the 'Yale Access' or 'August Home' app (2) connecting the lock to the local network The second problem I have not been able to solve. As of July 2024, the 'Yale Access' app and 'August Home' app does not recognise the 'Yale Connect Plus Wifi Bridge' (currently sold in Australia) and the 'Plus' bridge is not listed in the manual product selector choices. I purchased the older version of the Wifi bridge (the version which is not 'Plus', and is no longer available from standard shops in Australia). Although I could connect to that older Wifi bridge with the app, trying to connect that Wifi bridge to the lock is not successful (the app reports an error). Another Amazon review - and an oblique reference on the Yale website - mentions that Yale Assure Lock can connect to the Wifi bridge, so I don't know if that is a problem with buying the Australian version of the old Wifi bridge or because the App doesn't like being outside North America (although I'm using an VPN). Sadly, z-wave standards are different in Australia compared to the USA, and there are some reports that using the Yale Assure 2 wifi module is detrimental to the lock's battery life. The first problem is solveable. As of July 2024, it *cannot* be configured with the "Yale Home" app which is available to Australian users of Google Play. Either the "Yale Access" app needs to be installed from another source or the "August Home" app can be used (available in Google Play for Australian users). Both these apps will not allow a lock to be 'added' to the 'home' unless the app believes the user is in the USA or Canada. Some other users mention using an American phone number. I used an Australian phone number, but used a VPN to 'fake' a USA location.

Was great when it worked. After about 3 months it stopped. Followed all support and replaced batteries and reset to factory settings.. it's useless. Very disappointed.
