Schlage was good about warranty on one that I had issues with, so can not complain much. I would advise against using alkaline batteries, if they leak acid it has potential to kill the board on the unit. Rechargeable NIMH (eneloop) or Lion are the way to go.

There used to be a lot of deals with these and the match handles for ~$200 but haven't seen them in a long time.
I had 3 with exploded batteries due to nonuse for a while, only one failed the board. This happened a couple months before the above screen issue so I did not have the extra rear board/motor unit. I found a used one to fix as they commonly sell for ~$50-70 on ebay/facebook and I had good luck with longevity.
I did have to cleanup the terminals on the battery holder extensively to get the other two working, but they also sell replacement units.
With Alexa routines I had have it programmed to ensure all the locks are locked whenever my alarm is set. Great if anyone in the house forgets to lock a door.

I use ring system with alarm and have alexa but no z-wave. Will it work in this setup? Will I be able to connect to my Orbi router wifi?
TIA

Also one advantage of Z-Wave over wifi that I know of is that Z-Wave operates on a mesh network which means each device can communicate with each other and piggyback until it gets to the hub. So if you have a big house and your hub is upstairs, the downstairs lock can communicate with the main floor lock and then up to the hub. If you ever have connectivity gaps you can just buy a cheap Z-Wave lamp plug to put somewhere in between and that acts as a relay.
I've had 5 of the "dumb" version of this deadbolt (has the digital keypad, no key, and requires a manual twist to lock) for 9 years in Seattle and they have worked fantastic. They still look pretty much brand new even with the Seattle elements. One site that I read on recently compared the Schlage locks to Kwikset and said that the Schlage offer more benefits including beefier steel.
That's as much as I know so maybe someone else has better information. Sale ends midnight PST fyi.
My front door faces directly east, so it has seen plenty of sun in the 10 years of ownership, and frankly it looks great and there are no obvious signs of wear that would give away a door code. Not sure we even still have the key for it... have never once used it.
