I’ve been on the fence about smart locks since they first came out, but seem to be getting more standardplace. Are there any recommended products that replace the doorknob and not the deadbolt? I’d prefer to keep my old deadbolt as that’s plan B to secure the house. :slight_smile:

@jelockwood Thanks for all the replies. I’ve looked at the solutions and I am not so much impressed. I like the idea of the Yale deadbolt smartlock, where a keyhole is ourside together with a keypad. That makes sense for me. But the Euro cylinder smartlocks all seems to be just an addon with the ke…

[image] JDRoberts: If the lock goes bad altogether, then again, you should still be able to use a manual key on most of them. You just have to check the features of any specific model you are interested in. That’s my problem, I cannot find really the right model. I really like the idea of the…

They do the Conexis L1 but this is only for 3-point locking doors, they do the Entr but this does not support the connectivity you need. Nuki has a separate numeric keypad available outside, they also do …

Got my schlage lock installed with the RBoy DTH and Lock user manager. All seems to be working well. But is it normal to take a long time to lock/unlock from within the ST app? 30-40 seconds seems to be average.

That seems like a long time. Did you try a Z-wave network repair? And do you have a decent Z-wave network? I’ve never had any issues with any of my lock, but a lot of people say they require a repeater nearby unless your hub is close. FWIW, A lot of my ST stuff has seemed a bit slow today. Not 30-…

I’ll see if it’s any better today. My zwave is pretty solid, and I did do a repair. Hub is in the next room, and have a couple zwave switches nearby.
