Ratings and reviews

Using wifi to lock or unlock is very laggy, but if you're close enough, it switches to Bluetooth and always works on Bluetooth. I am using this with Airbnb and it's great, it integrates and I no longer have to generate codes or instruct the guest... They automatically receive a message from Airbnb and are given a code that is not effective till a specific time that you assign as your check in time. I used this to replace my Kwikset wifi smart lock, which only let you set dates, but not time.

Terrible compatibility issues. I fought with this app to set up 2 locks for about 4 hours. Constant disconnects and errors during setup. I thought I'd try with another phone, pulled an old Samsung with outdated firmware out, and it worked immediately. Its ridiculous that this app doesnt work properly on Pixels.

The app mostly does what I expect. It shows the status of the lock and the position of the door (open, closed, etc.). It lets me lock and unlock the door. It tells me when someone else has unlocked/opened the door. It alerts me if the door has been left open. It's slow to connect when I open the app. It won't show the current health of the batteries. It warns me to replace the batteries when they are still good. I can say I replaced the batteries and it will still be fine for several months.
