Title: Best Lock on the Market
Review: The Schlage BE499WB CEN 622 Encode Plus WiFi Deadbolt Smart Lock is a fantastic upgrade for my home security. The Apple Home Key integration is seamless, and I love being able to unlock my door with just a tap of my iPhone or Apple Watch. The keyless entry is super convenient, and the sleek matte black finish gives it a modern look that fits perfectly with my homeâs style.Installation was pretty straightforward, and I was able to connect it to my home WiFi without any issues. The lock works reliably with Apple HomeKit, and Iâve set up automations to lock the door at night and when I leave the house. The ability to create and manage access codes for family members or guests is also a great feature, and the lock provides notifications when itâs locked or unlocked, so I can always keep track of what's happening.The build quality feels robust, and the Century Trim design adds a sleek, minimalist appearance. Iâve used the lock in various weather conditions, and so far, itâs held up great.If youâre looking for a smart lock that integrates with Apple Home and offers both convenience and security, I highly recommend this one. Itâs a little pricey, but the features and reliability make it well worth the investment.I loved being able to use my iPhone and Apple Watch to unlock the front door. Worth the money if you walk your dog or take your kids outside and want a simple way in and out.

Title: Works great so far! Primus Cylinder fits well in it!
Review: I replaced my old deadbolt (Array Smart Lock) with this one. While the price was a bit of a tough pill to swallow, I couldn't be happier with it.The lock actually connects to the app/etc with ease (I could never get my other lock to connect). The lock seems solid and sturdy and installation was very easy.My main reason for switching the lock is that I was upgrading to a Schlage Primus Key for the better key control (I rent a couple of my rooms). My old lock wasn't compatible. This one fit it with no issue.While this has been quite the investment, it was one that I am glad I made - and I have a lot more peace of mind when it comes to my lock and my keys!

Title: Worth every penny, works flawlessly
Review: For a long time, this was a very sought after Deadlock Smart Lock, hard to find in stock in many places.The Schlage Encore Plus WiFi Smart Lock is very easy to install, integrates well with Apple HomeKit, and works flawlessly.It features a keypad which holds up to 100 access codes, can create Virtual Apple Keys, view your lock history and more.The Virtual Key is created in the Apple Wallet making it easy to open the door with your iPhone or Apple Watch, give your family or friends their own access code so you can monitor who comes and goes as well as the time of day the door was unlocked.The smart lock can be controlled with Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant, so no matter which voice assistant you use to control your smart home this lock will fit in well.Battery life is great, I have been able to go at a minimum of 6 months before replacing the AA batteries.No need to carry your house keys around, with the touch of a button you can lock your door when leaving or open it with a code or virtual key on arrival. You are given a key for backup if needed.You can revoke a code or virtual key you assigned to someone at anytime easily, setup a onetime code, expire the code, or set it to only allow access on a certain day or time. Customization is unlimited.This lock is a great step towards automating your smart home.Cons: Keypad numbers can be hard to read in sunlight.

Title: Reliable and Feature-Rich Smart Lock - Highly Recommended
Review: I recently purchased the Schlage BE499WB CAM 716 Encode Plus WiFi Deadbolt Smart Lock with Apple Home Key, and I am thoroughly impressed. The aged bronze finish with Camelot trim adds a sophisticated touch to my front door, blending seamlessly with my home's exterior.Installation and Setup:The installation process was straightforward, even for someone like me who isn't particularly handy.

The lock is responsive and reliable, with no noticeable lag.Security:Security is paramount, and this smart lock delivers. It provides robust encryption and authentication protocols, ensuring my home is secure. The built-in alarm technology senses potential security breaches at the lock, adding an extra layer of protection.Battery Life:The battery life is impressive. The lock uses standard AA batteries, which are easy to replace, and the app provides timely notifications when the battery is running low. I have been using the lock for several months, and the battery still has plenty of life left.App Functionality:The Schlage Home app is intuitive and user-friendly. It allows me to monitor the lock's status, receive notifications, and manage access codes with ease.

Review: Ya tuve locks de esta marca y son muy buenas, el color, los accesorios y la solidez y el uso a largo plazo. Lo único que no entendà al inicio fue el desbloqueo con homekit (iPhone) y sólo basta acerca el teléfono desbloqueado y detecta el cierre por contactless, fuera de ahà la sincronización smart es relativamente sencilla y se puede manejar desde cualquier parte del mundo. Recomendado, el precio es algo alto respecto a lo que se puede conseguir con opciones koreanas o chinas, ya decides si deseas algo a corto o largo plazo.

Review: I've been looking for a relatively tiny, smart phone operatable, no extra drilling, tough enough, no extra devices like door bell, hub or camera, just a reliable simple to use real LOCK, and this is the one.My front door is a little different from most regular doors, there are windows on the left and right side of it, so no way for me to use long screws, and its faceplate is round, most locks are rectangle, although some brands do have round option, but I have to contact their customer support to get one, that means I have to wait couple of more days to have the job done, I don't like it. Some brands have fancy functions like chimes, hub, camera, fingerprint or even AI feature, they really attracted my eyes, but after carefully research, you either have to buy additional accessories separately, or you have to buy memory card etc. to enjoy the full features. And, I found some fancy locks are made by plastic!! Why bother to install a fancy plastic lock that anyone could kick in?? What's the point to buy a lock in the first place?Then I read a lot of comments of each different lock, I love high-tech stuff too, but many buyers said their camera didn't work after couple of months, or the lock won't connect to its hub and memory card couldn't store videos, or fingerprint doesn't recognize anymore, or the rechargable battery drains fast... I just need a lock, a lock that can let us in and out easily while prevent someone who's not invited from showing up in my house, and it should comes with a physical key just in case something goes wrong, basically that's all I want - and if a lock that can lock/unlock with a smartphone that'd be even better.This Schlage Encode+ Smart Lock has it all, it comes with square and round faceplates and it supoort wifi, I can use my iPhone as a key to lock/unlock the door, no need to put additional devices in place to have the lock fully functional, and it's tiny (at least it looks like a lock) with beautiful looking. Speaking of looking, some locks with fancy functions are really big, I understand when putting camera, doorbell, fingerprint altogether would need a bigger case, but it really looks ugly... it's like sticking a frying pan or brick onto your door, plus some fancy locks are made of plastic or thin aluminum alloy, a screw driver would totally remove the lock in seconds. Anyways, there might be better locks in the market, but they don't fit my door. This Schlage lock meets all my demands, I have to go for it although its price is higher.Conclusion: less fancy stuff, less power consumption and less opportunity to mulfunction. Do not misguided by fancy functions, we are looking for a reliable lock after all.
