Smart Lock, SMONET Fingerprint Door Lock Smart Deadbolt Keyless Entry - Electronic Digital Keypad with Biometric Fingerprint, Smartphone App Auto Lock Bluetooth Keys Fobs Smartlock for Alexa, Home

Just installed this. It's working great so far. The only reason I'm writing a review is to save you one headache when you're trying to connect to the lock using Bluetooth. The lock must be LOCKED. Otherwise Bluetooth will fail to connect and you'll never get the app to work.Here are my favorite things:Security: It has a physical key and supports passcodes, keyfobs, and finger prints. The passcodes are generated. If you can set your own, I have not figured out how. You can also text someone a temporary code with an expiration date and time.Batter life: Just installed. No data yet.Ease of use: Again, the initial set up with the Bluetooth will give you fits if you don't have the lock in the correct position. If you are struggling with "operation failed" errors when you try to connect, just switch the deadbolt into the other position than what you have it in and try again. For me, it had to be in the LOCKED position.Build quality: It's mostly heavy plastic and little aluminum. It's not made from the beautiful heavy polished brass of the "old-fashioned" lock I replaced with it, but it looks nice and I expect it will hold up for many years.

Installing the lock physically was very easy. It requires an app to set it up. After several failures with nondescript error messages, I tried another device and it worked on that one. With this, it took many times longer to configure it that it did to install it. Fortunately, once the app is up and running, installing a 2nd lock goes very quickly.Some minor cutting to accomodate the new plates was needed. This was done using a utility knife. The plastic box-like object they provide wasn't useful though. The deadbolt recess was oval in shape. It would have been a lot of work to have to chisel all that out just to get the rectangular plastic box in there. That was left out.The main drawback for me is the auto-lock. It is based solely on timing and doesn't care if the door is open or closed. Another lock I have is smarter. It has a hall-effect sensor and locks when the door is closed. Much nicer. I would much prefer this type of locking, but was unable to find a unit that met my requirements. I chose this one as something of a tradeoff.The other problem is aesthetics. What works on the outside, aesthetically, doesn't work so well inside. The inside is a large dark brick like object whose color doesn't match the typical interior decor. It would be better if they had a few covers of different colors to use for the indoor part. I covered the battery cover to lighten the color. The outside unit, though, looks great. One of the reasons I bought it. But there are two very different sides to a door. I am not done yet. I will try to find a way to make it look nicer on the inside.The app is for the most part well written (except for the lack of proper error messages), but the copy function from lock to lock isn't very useful. It doesn't bring your attention to its limitation which is that it only copies the card info. Nor does it say what it did. It just says copied 2 records. Not very informative. It does not copy the fingerprints. Getting the fingerprints is a lot more work. Being able to copy those would be a bigger benefit than the cards which are easy to add.Overall, though, the unit is quite acceptable. The main thing likely to sink it is if the auto-lock turns out to be a nuisance. Auto-lock is a must have for me. A good auto-lock with sensor would be preferred. Time will tell.

I was in the market for an electronic lock and this one fit the bill. Bluetooth, fingerprint reader, keypad, and manual entry. The lock was extremely easy to install with decent instructions and basically everything you need to install. The lock has a very smooth feel when locking so seems to be built well It was easy to connect to using the app and program. The fingerprint reader is tricky, it worked great for me but couldn't get any of my family registered after several attempts. Which isa shame as by far the fingerprint unlock is by far the easiest to do. The keypad works well but does have to be "woken" up to input code or more frustrating, to luck.Only issue anyone from my family has complained about is the lock feature. If I was the builder I would change the lock feature to a simple lock icon instead of the hash key. We have had issues waking the keypad up and then holding the hash key down and nothing happening or getting the operation fail warning. But for the most part it works well also, the operation fail is a bit harsh and unforgiving.The RFID cards work well, I wish they sent now than 2. Sometimes it can take several passes before it recognizes which I assume is because it is asleep but otherwise works great (I understand this is common with battery powered devices).So again, for the most part it works really well. I have not tried the WiFi option as it requires a particular gateway. It works be nice if it worked with the Chamberlain gateway a lot of people have for their garage doors.I almost went with the Yale but this one has far more built in options for half the price.
