I wonder if the lock will survive the LockPickingLawyer test.
It’s instantaneous for me. There’s no way Siri should be faster. Home key requires no network communication.I love my encode plus but homekey is way too finicky and takes too long to unlock, with either my Apple Watch or my iPhone. More often I am just telling Siri to unlock the door as I walk up.
So go to sleep.I love how we have an energy crisis and a climate crisis and with inflation and people’s money not going as far and people having to spend more for heating and gas and food that we are just converting our entire lives to tech and things that require energy and being connected and also expensive to replace when a battery dies or it becomes obsolete or a company decides to stop supporting something. We’ve gone from convenience to burden. We are replacing things that used to last 30 years with things they last 5. Im tired of it.
No you’re correct - it Is a CR2 battery, not an AA. I remembered incorrectly.So the CR2 batteries are for something else?
Doing that renders the product moot, so you have to leave the door knob below the deadbolt unlocked and just rely on the deadbolt.how useful is this if you ALWAYS lock the lock on the door knob below the deadbolt?
Honestly my most-used feature is being able to ask Siri if I remembered to lock the door after I’m already away from the house, and then having her lock it if I forgot. Second most useful feature is being able to let someone in to the house when I’m away, either by unlocking it with the App or granting them their own access.There's a lot of talk about convenience here, but having a digital lock is helpful when you lose your keys, or somehow lock them inside. Level has a few products, starting at $199, this $329 is a higher end model. $199 isn't terrible if you're getting locked out often enough when compared to locksmiths. $329 isn't terrible if you're constantly losing your keys either, but I'm more worried about your ability to hold a job and earn enough to begin with 😂
For me it usually is just me fumbling around and waving the phone around in multiple orientations trying to see if it will work better if I hold the top of the phone near the lock, or the side of the phone, or the middle, or if I angle it this way, or that way, etc… before I know it, a minute has gone by and I’m still standing in front of the door.It’s instantaneous for me. There’s no way Siri should be faster. Home key requires no network communication.
Yes! Level locks are horribly unreliable. Just look at reviews for them on Reddit.com/r/homekitDoes anyone have experience with this company and their products? I used Lockitron way back in the day and I would say our results were mixed at best. I was hoping to pick up the Schlage lock since the new one is HomeKit/Key compatible but stock has been an issue for a while. It is also much larger than this one and utilizes a keypad on the outside which I don't need. I will likely just wait for the Schlage unless there are a lot of good experiences with this company?
If 0.1% of iPhone users in America bought one, that still would be over 100,000 units sold.You know, I'd have considered this for my parents as a gift...then I saw the $329.95 tag in the second photo.
A Schlage deadbolt is like $30.
Are enough people really gonna spend $330 on a door lock in this economy to make stocking this worth it?
He would pick it in seconds it has a standard key core.I wonder if the lock will survive the LockPickingLawyer test.
Even if they did, I’m sure they’d require new hardware. Of all the 40+ HomeKit devices I’ve purchased, the August hardware is probably the most disappointing when it comes to ongoing support. As soon as they launch a new model with little to no improvements, all firmware updates stop.I wish that both August and Yale would both support home key. They are both made by the same company and are in most ways the same lock. But that would give home key a major brand of locks.
You have restored my faith in MR for the rest of the year. Bless you. "And as always, have a nice day..."Nothing on 1. Nothing on 2. 3 is binding. 4. 5. And open.
I have a Schlage lock on both my front doors and I do not even bother locking them 90% of the time. Maybe instead of worrying about the quality of your lock, you should move to a neighborhood where you are not constantly worried about break-ins. I am looking forward to this lock, as it has the biggest advantage of not looking like an electronic lock. I like my Schlage, but it is ugly and I am not a fan of having door codes as they always leak (one needs to give one’s code to someone for something and then they need to give it to someone, etc.).Yeah, no. If the hotel industry can't keep their locks patched and current, i'm not trusting my house lock to an electronic lock - far too many of them have hacks/bugs/etc and patches are infrequent at best (and third-party pen testing is usually absent). Just use a key.
