The lock is very good, one of the particular advantages to Yale over Schlage deadbolts is that Schlage deadbolts tend to die around 50-60% battery. Yale Assure works the deadbolt motor all the way down to 20-25% before it dies (with alkaline batteries). Some of the Yale assure locks tend to have issue with the Z-Wave module but it’s a hit or a miss.
The default smartthing lock handler works great for basic open/close and even basic programming options but if you’re looking at use the advanced features of the lock like auto lock, privacy modes, audio controls, lock-out customization, DPS sensors, RFID etc you may want to check this this custom handler.
As for code programming, basic programming can be done using SmartLocks but if you’re looking for advanced programming/integrated features and you have access to RBoy Apps this is a very powerful/stable option to use (and it works in conjunction with SmartLocks):
