From what I saw so far you can arrange it to lock automatically after leaving the house. Also , when you arrive at the door it opens automatically. Thought you might want to add it to your presentation. Thank you for the video. Cheers ! Obviously subscribed.

This will be one of my first purchases when I move out to my apartment. I have a two story apartment I’m moving into and I’m Definitely one of those type of people to not remember if I locked the door or not but am also the one to now want to get up and look. This will also come in handy if I’m upstairs and a friend comes over I don’t have to rush down stairs to let them In.

FYI you used the wrong adapter for the bolt. Use the orange one if the bolt is vertical or horizontal. If the bolt is in between use the blue. If you take it off and put the orange one in your wyze latch will be level.

Good review. Very very similar to August. The biggest difference is that August uses a magnet to detect if the door is closed, open or ajar. Their website doesn't say how they detect it exactly. Do you find it accurate several months in after your review?

This is almost a 100% clone of August right down to the magnetic faceplate. I just installed one recently and I think even the plastic inserts are the same. Differences: August adds Homekit "Siri, unlock the front door." And also has a magnetic sensor you drill into the door's frame that detects when the door is ajar or completely open.

@DoItYourselfDad

I totally get the concern. What I like about these over other smart locks is that it doesn’t change anything on the outside of the door, someone walking up would never know you have a smart lock on the other side. Everything can be hacked given enough time, but your standard key lock can get picked with a bump key in seconds. What’s that old saying.... locks only keep honest people out?
