5 Smart Locks for your Apple Home!

McNally: That’s cute, however I am inside your house.

Perfect timing Shane. I just bought a house! Finally!!! I had thought it would only have a sliding door, and it does have 2 of those, but there’s also a regular front door which I’ll use as my main entrance just as soon as I get some new steps built to the verandah. So tossing up between the Encode plus and the Aqara for there. I think the Encode plus will suit the house better, but it will come down to features. I’m now thinking maybe the Switchbot lock could potentially work on the sliding doors too…

I have almost all the smart devices and have integrated them into my lifestyle, except the smart lock. I bought a smart lock years ago and removed it after a year. I did not get any benefit from the lock and I did not like the fact that it used a lot of batteries. Also, the unit didn’t give any advance warnings about low battery and the batteries would always go dead on a rainy day when my wife was trying to get into the house. I went back to regular locks and don’t miss the smart lock.

How can i know which locks are supported so that i can use my samsung watch to open the door ?thanks

[HelloJelo]

Can the switchbot be controlled by just touching it with the Apple Watch via homekey?

[Zimi]

I've been hoping for something like this for the yard gate. Do you know if there is one that would work with home kit?

[Doomsdayer]

What about the European market? Nothing to be found here Homekey compatible.

Shane so what would work if you have a iron security door before getting to that main house door each door has two locks.

I love the look and functionally of the Schlage. Have it and love it.

[rivertonrock]

Between Schlage and Aqara, which has been more reliable for your home?

[CyberGenesis]

How's it feel to have spent $300 on a deadbolt that takes less than a second to jiggle open?

[dbaby]

So you need a different app to setup all of these devices

[ERROR-Musik]

Usualy the cores Don't have any security features.

We use Encodes on our rentals but got the Encode plus for our own home. Love the Homekit integration but the physical lock itself isn't as good as the regular Encode. You can't even see the numbers on the thing so people that aren't in your Home and are forced to use the keypad are confused. The original Encode the numbers were visible all the time and lit even better at night when you press the keypad.

All can be drilled open in 30 seconds.

That’s one thing that I will never get smart in my house a lock

[Chopper_philly]

What about the knob?? Don’t you want to lock they too

[LikelyLagging]

should probably watch some lock picking lawyer before recommending half of these to anyone

[gerardovelazquez]

Lol why make your already unsecure bolt lock even less secure by adding crap hardware??.
