-Posted from my paperweight nest connect that Google support escalated to engineering and still can't fix
When it works it works well. I use rechargable AA's.
Yeah, your issues were my exact concerns when deciding against this, mainly because it uses August internals, which in my experience are simply horrible when it comes to connectivity. Add to it that there is no actual keyhole for when the device goes offline? Hard pass again.
Have had a great experience with the Wyze door locks, FYI.
After doing hours of research on smart locks. The best bang for the buck is Wyze Doorlock. No WiFi, but it has fingerprint and keypad. $70.
Aqara U100 is $150 and it has all the bells and whistles. Keypad, key, fingerprint, and Apple Homekey.
-No unlock on approach, if your hands are full you still gotta type in the code
-Doesn't know if door is open or closed, no way to check if it's CLOSED and locked, only if the lock is extended
-Tries to auto lock even if door is open (results in lots of accidental slams of the deadbolt on doorframe)
Only issue I had at all was with initial install, where it was pretty finicky about having a very perfectly aligned lock plate for the deadbolt. Only other complaint is that I wish it had a manual key override "just in case", but I think it's pretty conservative on the low battery warnings, and has been a real lifesaver on many occasions.
Completely agree. The only difficult part of the install was aligning the bolt with the plate. If it's not perfectly aligned, the unit says "unable to lock..."
The easy way to do it is to coat all 4 sides of the bolt with lipstick and then slide the bolt into the plate. You'll see where the bolt hits the plate and file it off or align the door.
Any other better was to do this?

That said... I unfortunately bought into the Nest ecosystem a long time ago so I'm stuck unless I want to pay thousands to buy into another crappy ecosystem. The truth of the matter is that all smart home products suck. I wouldn't start into the Nest world from scratch at this point, but this lock has been great for me and I'm ordering a second for my back door simply so I don't need physical keys for one door and not the other. BUT I wouldn't recommend buying it if you're not already stuck with Nest. My other Nest products are much more garbage than this lock. I can't think of _any_ other ecosystem that is rock solid though. The Smart Home dream is one of the single biggest tech failures in my opinion.
