Nest Smart Lock 1 Year Later (Nest x Yale Lock)

In this video we review the Nest x Yale smart lock 1 year later and cover the features of the lock, how it works and if it's the right fit for your home. I've had a Nest Smart lock for over a year on my home and have enjoyed being key free and the smart lock features that make managing your home security easier.

My favorite features of the Nest smart lock are using the keypad instead of a key and the auto lock feature. With the auto lock feature on the nest lock, the lock can automatically lock the door even if you forget so you don't need to worry about it.

With the Nest x Yale lock you can easily assign codes to guests, dog walkers or contractors and set schedules and times when the access codes are valid. You can also control the Nest x Yale smart lock directly from the Nest app and lock or unlock the smart lock from your phone.

The Nest x Yale lock works on the same app as the Nest Thermostat and does integrate with other Nest devices on the Nest app.

If you have a compatible Google Home or Google Assistant you can also use Google voice commands to lock the Nest x Yale lock with your voice.

My friend, you forgot to mention that one of the main features that differentiate the Nest x Yale and August is that auto-unlock feature with geofencing, it will unlock the door when you get 2OO meters from the lock.

[carlossegura]

hello. Thank you for the video. Do you know if there is an updated version of this lock or a better one than he Nest?

[desuma]

Great review, do you know if there is anyway to connect a wireless keyfob to it so I can open the door as I walk up to it? Using any modules etc? Im hoping its possible with z-wave somehow

[giddensre]

Great review. Very informative and helpful. You swayed me to go forward with my purchase. Thanks.

[blackbushido]

Hello excellent video!! I was just wondering, which lock will unlock as I approach the door and which lock can I unlock or lock with my iPhone and will I be able to unlock or lock with my Google Hub Max?? Thank you an thank you for your timely response

I recently got a low battery notice for my nest door lock. I changed the batteries as instructed. I tested the batteries I removed and the batteries all tested as good. Do you know why the lock would say the batteries need to be replaced when the batteries are still good.

[plmpcharisma]

What do you do if the lock happens to malfunction? Is there still a way to get in without a key?

[mariogabriel]

Hell Thank you for video. We have the same door. What happens is someone breaks your glass and opens it from inside? Any security for that right now we have a key on both sides Thanks again

Great presentation! I have encountered an issue of Nest x Yale lock with battery drainage even after replacing legitimate all four AA batteries, it turned low battery after two rounds of locking & unlocking within three days without any rain. Your advices?

[GinaPresta]

This review is amazing! Just bought. Any clue on the battery life? Using this for my Airbnb in CT when i'm in FL.

[kstevenson]

thanks man! I think you answered all my questions!!! The only thing I'm wondering which you didn't know at the time of this video is whether to this will be compatiable with the new Matter/Chip standard which i'm sure at the moment no one knows but given the brand it probably will be.

[SpiffingPepe]

Quick correction: No, you cannot use the lock without either Guard or Connect. But when you buy a lock, you'll get a Connect with it. No hate!
