So I've had my second one installed for about 2 weeks now. The first has been installed for about 2 months. I haven't had to change any batteries so far. I just checked the battery level on the front door lock and it's at 56%.

i find i have to change batteries (with duracell or enegizer) about 1 maybe 2 times a year

this is used daily though, 4 people in household

I have three of these locks. The first one I installed in July and it is at 33% right now. I also have the keypads installed on all three. I love the flexibility of being able to use the keypad, my phone, or the existing keys (since all three door are keyed the same). I also have a timer setup to automatically lock all three at 9:30 each night.
How did you convince yourself to pay for that heavily outdated looking keypad šŸ¤”

I'll share feedback about the lock once I install it.
Typically, people run into connection/wifi/bt issues with all these locks (August, Wyze etc). And that's to be expected with BT/Wifi. Maybe Matter/Thread will probably solve these issues.

Rechargeable batteries and low battery notifications. Most of the AA rechargeable batteries are 1.2V while the regular ones are 1.5V. That's the reason you'll get low battery notifications with the rechargeable ones. The lock will measure the battery volts to estimate the energy consumption.

As for the hardware itself, I've been checking the reviews and there's quite a few August locks with broken plastic parts (check amazon). Current August locks seem pretty fragile. Previous August generations had more metal parts inside than Gen3/Wifi. Wyze seems a bit more simple. Check the FCC links. Not sure about the software though.

I used to be a big wyze fan, until I had 4 wyze products brick on me. Contacted customer support who told me there's known issues that some products will become useless if the battery gets too low and they won't issue any refunds a year after purchase.

Never buying from them again.

They're like $20, not exactly breaking the bank.

I have this lock I occasionally use on an out of state investment property and it works perfectly for my needs. My lock has the front keypad which connects to the back deadbolt on the apartment door.
When I have an apartment vacant, for showings , I buzz potential tenants in to the "empty apartment" remotely from my home 1000 miles away. I have them text/call me when they are ready to leave so I can remotely lock the door behind them. The entire time I can see them to screen them from my Wyze camera which is really close by. When I choose a tenant my handyman runs over and pulls the front keypad off the lock and replaces it with the existing lock that was already installed!
Never had an issue with batteries but this lock doesnt get the use of a family of 4 who live there full time.

Wyze knew about a security vulnerability in their cameras and kept it hidden for years. There's no way I would trust Wyze on my network after such a failure to communicate.

You literally have to be on the home wifi network to exploit such vulnerability. If someone is on your home wifi you have bigger issues

This is not Twitter. Please keep your opinions to yourself. No one asked if you would trust this or forcing to buy it... just share your experience with the locks if you used them, something useful to the community.

I just got one a few weeks ago and I've not had any issues. At 93% battery, so maybe 3% loss per week?

Biggest issue I have with it is that the auto unlock is not exactly snappy. It takes a while for it to figure out that I'm in the vicinity.

So because normal thieves just kick down the door, can we presume that you don't have any locks on your home?
my doors and locks cannot be kicked in.
and we have sonars throughout the perimeters. we know who's there before they even touch the door.

there is absolutely no reason these locks should burn through battery that quickly, my schlage smart connect deadbolt with built in keypad lasts well over a year with the 4 AA batteries being constantly opened and closed all the time. These wyze locks dont have wifi built in, they use zigbee which is a very low power protocol so it's just bad engineering, also, do read the reviews on Amazon, their support is atrocious and when they fail, you better have an alternate way in, which defeats the purpose, just look at the pics of broken windows and cut off doors... but yes their marketing video is funny

You can still use your regular key or have a locksmith pick it if necessary.

Quote from FairNest1755 :
Can anyone compare to the the August lock?
Yes! Wyze over August easily, main reasons: smart home compatibility, wifi stability, ease of use for visitors, appearance, in that order.

The August was a nightmare with my wifi and their tech support was useless. I eventually got it connected by splitting up my wifi, turning one into the simplest of SSID names and 2.4 GHz required (tech support wanted me to go buy an OLD router that worked with August, lmao), but even with that, it would still drop connection and prove unreliable. Lastly, visitors would come over and be completely confused as to how the August unlocks.

Wyze was an easy setup, no wifi issues, easy install, keypad works great, works with Google home (and Alexa according to them, but can't verify that), and it looks like a dead bolt that everyone knows how to use.

In retrospect, the August is kind of a fire hazard if someone has never seen it before.
