Danalock V3 Z-Wave Smart Lock vs August Smart Lock Pro (Z-Wave)

[btcompute]

Hi,
I’m considering purchasing either one of these two locks.
Any thoughts on which one may:

1. Integrate best with SmartThings
2. Be most reliable

Any helpful info or comments would be be appreciated.
Thanks

Danalock has limitations on programming over zwave. August lock is more flexible from that perspective.

August lock zwave firmware has some issues sometimes so Danalock is more reliable from that perspective.

Comes down to what you need from the lock in terms of features.

See this post for a comparison between lock models which should help.

Updated comparison table of Z-Wave features available across the various popular lock brands. Capabilities but they tend to similar across models (e.g. Most brand models share very similar features). Schalge BE469/FE599 have been singled out since they are quite different from each other. This is a good starting point for folks to understand what features they would like to have and then go from there: Comparison table moved to first post Would also recommend reading these posts about limitations of specific lock models
