Schlage Connect Review - Lock Your Door with Alexa 

Thanks for the review.

Great review bro, I'm going to get one. Thanks !

Have you heard of any way to control the Schlage Connect with Homekit? I've got it working with Alexa(of course), but would like to be able to control it with Homekit also. I don't want to replace 3 locksets, just to enable Homekit.

Great review. Hoping you could answer my questions: do I need the SmartThings hub? I read that it can connect with the Phillips Hue but I only have the bridge. Do I need the hub for the Schlage Connect to be discoverable?

Can I clear all codes so there are absolutely no codes to enter? I want to only use the app or a physical key to enter the home. How does the lock detect picking and bumping attempts? If that actually works it's well worth the cost of the lock, especially after upgrading the pins to a mixed set of spools, serrated, and security.

I have the two Schlage Connect locks for two different doors and they work great. I have them set up to unlock upon arrival with presence sensor (our cell phones), as well as auto-lock after 15 minutes if door is closed using Auto-Lock Smart App via SmartThings or SmartThings Routine. As well as have it all lock at bedtime using a Google or Alexa command and virtual switches to trigger lock. Works really great, and best thing is you can not only use as Smart lock, but can also use as “Dumb” lock with physical keys (although I haven’t used my house keys in 8 years since I got these locks). One note: the ZWave pairing can be slightly finicky at first. Make sure your hub is close to the locks, or least get some ZWave repeaters installed nearby.

Your videos have come a long way! haha

This is the second home in which ru-vid.comUgkx0jZ_lGlDVJhDnmagEU8gn47cmfPNlLQU we've replaced our "regular" doorbell with a Ring video doorbell and we really enjoy it. It is very easy to install and it works very well, with a clear picture through the app and good in-home use (we added the chime, which is also easy to install and doesn't require another thought to use).

What option do i have to choose in the smart things app and when I try it it doesn't work. Why?

Great video it was very helpful

If I use a Habitat Elevation hub will I be able to add it to HomeKit?

are you able to use a proximity sensor to unlock the door as you approach it?

do you have any settings to switch the dead bolt from left to right hand door

I have the Schlage connect and a echo do I also need a hub? I thought the echo was a hub?

Which one do your prefer the schalge encode or nest x Yale ?

Can a hubitat be used for the intermediary?

Love your review. I have two of these on different homes. On my permanent residence, as a single woman residing alone, I love love the automatic locking feature. When I have unknown visitors over, I can be assured no one is going to follow me into the house or step inside when I look away. The door locks behind me and it just may save my life. Women think differently than men - it’s not an inconvenience at all.

Please help me I am tryng this for a week How to connect smartthings to your z wave. Like where do you find the Qr code or when you try to connect it says remove the battery cover and press and reales the button but I don't find any button please help me

It works just fine. I like it.

I see an "unlock when i arrive" smartapp in your list of apps but i'm not able to find this in smartthings. Any pointers?

If I have echo show gen 2 with built in hub can I use that or have to buy one of these other 2 you mention?

I've bought the connect, returned it to Amazon after 3 days. the Z-wave did not work for mine.

I was able to have Alexa unlock my Kwikset lock by using my 4 Digit voice password for Alexa. Is not being able to unlock it with voice a schlage thing? That would be the only deal breaker for me. I need to be able to unlock with voice.

Can I pair and control Schlage Connect to Google Assistant/Lenovo?

Can you go in-depth on how to set up smartthings?

I have two of these locks and wasn't aware you could use Alexa to lock them. Do you know if you can use Google Home to do this?

Can you use hubitat?

What do you about the handle lock? Not lock it?

How loud is the lock when engaging/disengaging? We tried a Kwikset and it was obnoxiously loud. We also tried an August but their z-wave integration is hot garbage so we returned it.

My SmartThings zinger hub is no longer working. How do I connect directly to Amazon Alexa Hub?

I used to can control the lock with smart things 2 and lock manager app. Now, it's not working. Which app and which gen of smart things you are using now?

Google Home support???

Works find until the temperature outside dips well below zero. The batteries get cold and the lock starts acting wonky.

Are you still using this, or is there a better one?

Is it normal to be loud? When you lock and unlock door it’s loud.

Thanks for the video. Is it too difficult to manage codes using smart things? Which do you recommend? Thanks!

Ok, I don't anything. What is Z-wave? And is smart things and wink an app? Do they cost money?

Im still confused... how do i connect mine to Amazon Alexa?

my husband fond your amazingly carizmatic review insane

I know this is over two years old, but a little editing would make this an even better video. My echo keeps trying to lock the doors or something every time you say Alexa. Simply muting that part would make it so much better.

Wow, the sound of the motor controlling the deadbolt sounds dreadful. I'm not a mechanical engineer but I know enough about mechanics/electronics to know that motor wont last very long. Think I'll look into the commercial grade stuff.

can someone from outside command Alexa to open the door ? that's kind of scary...

You didn’t supply the info needed. Locking and unlocking by Alexis was what was needed. .

Crazy how this guy sounds and looks like nick swardson lol.

Roku was a tv up or down

Damn that shit is loud

Can unlock the door with Alexa

damn that motor is so loud.

all this time i said it wrong....lol

Do you have any kids are you married ?

what happens if you have the window open and some creep yells: "Alexa! Open the front door!"

The battery die all the time and it disconnects all the time too

It's actually pronounced schlaga not sclheg. It's German.

My right ear rang when the siren in your video went off at 1:12. When incorporating such loud noises into your videos, please lower the volume.

This is a piece of shit lock. I am on my third and it doesnt work.

why alexa??? there is google home

are you able to use a proximity sensor to unlock the door as you approach it?
