Nest x Yale Lock Review Unboxing, Features, Setup, Installation, Settings + Google Hub

Today, We will be checking out the Nest x Yale Lock. Smart locks have been on my list to check out for a while now and I really haven't got around to do it until now.

I chose the Nest x Yale lock as my first smart lock because I already know the Nest App and I know Yale has been in the lock and security industry for years.

So, this is an integration between Yale, the hardware part of the lock and Nest, the software and together, you will have a secure deadbolt lock that is connected and can be controlled remotely via the Nest app aside from typing in your pass code to open and lock your door.

With the Nest app, you can easily lock and unlock your door anywhere even you are at the other side of the globe.
Give people a passcode instead of a key.
Lock and check the status of your door using your voice using google assistant.
Get notified every time your door is locked and unlocked and by who.

I like that bit you added about short door screws, not many people know that.

Your demonstration on this product was right on. It helped us right down to the complete setup. You explained the installation thoroughly. Thank you so much. Keep kicking them out. 😇

I have found this video to be very helpful. I wanted to add this tip in case anyone else has the issue I had. I had to get a new wifi router. I could not get the Nest Connect to re-connect to the wifi. Nothing I tried would connect the lock or the connect. I finally discovered that the lock has a reset button located on the back. Although I did not find specific information stating that you need to reset it to add it to a new wifi I did do this and the Connect and the lock set up perfectly.

I just love all the extra info you provide in this review

Nice to see how simple and usable this is. Especially since this was a year or two ago now, so they've probably improved this since

Sir, english is not my first language, but I understood everything enough to install my lock.thank you very much.

Great analysis. They really do need to add the lock and unlock functionality when you are answering hello doorbell. Very good suggestion.

Thank you for your quality reviews! I recommend turning Spaces ON in your Nest app settings. Then assign devices to thier respective spaces. I.E. have Nest Hello and Nest Yale assigned to Entryway. That way, in the summary view you could see people and access door locks easier. It is not as slick as the competition's set up, yet. At least viewing and controls are more organized and accessible.

Very awesome video, actually one of the best I have found, explaining the review of the nest lock. Thank you very much for the clarity and specifics of the installation and use.

having a nest yale lock unlock option in the doorbell menu is genius. a clear oversight on the part of nest.

[jerryolano]

I was amazed. Specially the way you explain everything.. more blog thanks

[RayyanRahman]

I wish the Nest tag would work with the lock so you hold it up at the keypad and it automatically unlocks

[wellfleetion]

I'm glad you were able to get that Nest Connect to actually "connect". Many people, including myself, were unable to do so as it has a known bug that knocks one's router offline and needing a hard reset prior to the pairing process being completed. The routers seem to be random. Nest support is aware of this issue and has been working on this issue for months! Nevertheless, sick of frustration and waiting, I was forced to buy the Nest Secure at $400 in order to have the lock pair with the Nest app and work as advertised. No cool.

I have the Yale/Nest deadbolt lock, got it from BB TIN for free. I agree about incorporating a lock icon in the dorrbell screen to unlock the door while viewing person at door!

[MrVizziato]

This has been the most clear and easy to follow videos on this product I've watched. Very informative and educational. I just bought and installed my nest x Yale lock today and so far I'm digging it. And I absolutely agree with you about the nest hello doorbell not giving you the option to unlock the door right from the video. All of this tech is supposed to make things easier not complicated with more steps. Hopefully with an update they can add that in which I'm sure could be done.

This review is careful and have good details that other review videos don't

[DaraAbasute]

such a well done video! thank you so much for this. SN: I think you'd make a great airline flight attendant with the way you explain instructions
