This is the single most utilized home automation device my family uses.
Pros:
- I don't use a key anymore. Easily lock and unlock my door when entering. The app is simple to use for locking and unlocking. One huge button to click in the middle of the screen. (Of course you could still use the key if you really wanted to.)
- Can easily share lock codes with others. my high school-age daughter has her own code to use with her phone. I get notified and can see a video when she enters and leaves the home.
- Amazon Key service works like a charm. I usually get a notice the package is on its way so I can remotely turn off my ADT alarm system. The door opens, then the delivery slides into my front door, the door closes, and finally the door locks. And I have a video record to show it all.
- Battery life has been over five months using it multiple times every day.
Cons:
- I really wish i could pet my wife also use the Amazon key service from her account too. Unless there is a way I can't figure out, we are in the same Amazon family with the same address, but there is no way to allow her to also have the key service when she orders something from Amazon.
- The batteries have lasted long but in order to replace the batteries you have to unscrew the battery assembly manually. Not that it's hard but it's not a simple pull-out-and-replace job either.
