Review on ๐Ÿ”’ Google Nest x Yale Lock: Keyless Entry Smart Lock System - Tamper-Proof, Oil Rubbed Bronze Finish by Andre Tenk

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It's time to correct some people's misconceptions.

EDIT: I misunderstood a detail, Google Assistant does NOT open the door, it only locks it. I tried it this way, assuming it would work both ways, but it didn't work. Doesn't affect my rating or opinion on this, just thought it would be useful information. I'm checking the pros and cons, but after seeing the "best rating" on this product is a derogatory review due to a lack of knowledge about installation and usage (it was all in the manual and app) and I thought I would will check answers. Here are the best points of the ball moments of other negative reviews and their reality: โ€ข ๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ข๐˜ฃ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ต ๐˜ข๐˜ฃ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ต ๐˜ข๐˜ฃ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ต 40000% ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ ๐˜บ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ณ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ 1000% ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ด๐˜ช๐˜ฎ๐˜ฑ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ด๐˜ช๐˜ฎ๐˜ฑ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ด๐˜ช๐˜ฎ๐˜ฑ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ค๐˜ฌ ๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ค๐˜ฌ ๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ค๐˜ฌ ๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ค๐˜ฌ ๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ค๐˜ฌ ๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ค๐˜ฌ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ง ๐˜ข ๐˜ข ๐˜ฌ๐˜ฆ๐˜บ . If you adjust the locking bar so that it doesn't line up with the latch, it will be very picky about locking. If the latch is blunt, you can pinch it with your fingers. You don't want the motor to force the lock as it would burn out quickly. This can be avoided entirely by doing the correct installation from the start, which in my case just meant using a small flat head and a hammer to chip off a piece of wood where the strike plate should have been before screwing it on. And then a bit about the need for 9V? The lock itself runs on 4 AA batteries and will warn you in advance when the battery in the lock needs to be replaced. If you let it die you really must be careless. Not only can you add individual family members (each with their own unique passports), you can also create guest and temporary passports. โ€ข ๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ ๐˜ธ๐˜ช๐˜ง๐˜ช ๐˜ฆ๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ ๐˜ข๐˜ฑ๐˜ฑ ๐˜ข๐˜ฑ๐˜ฑ ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ท๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ท๐˜ฆ ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ ๐˜ข ๐˜ฏ๐˜ถ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ ๐˜ฏ๐˜ถ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ. If you forget your phone at home, your door will remain unlocked. So what? A: That is also wrong. You can grant two levels of access to other members you add to your family, admin rights or home-only login rights. You may receive unique codes and not have access to settings. โ€ข ๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฑ๐˜ช๐˜ฆ๐˜ค๐˜ฆ ๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ค๐˜ฌ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ฅ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฐ๐˜ญ๐˜ต ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ฅ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฐ๐˜ญ๐˜ต ๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜ฌ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ The tip is identical to the "stupid" Zasov that I have replaced. The difference is that the Nest Shaft has some free play where it attaches to the pivot point BECAUSE YOU CANNOT INSTALL IT OTHERWISE. This amount is for assembly purposes only and does not affect the "locking security" of the bolt. The only way to break it is to try to break it on purpose or if you mistakenly tried to cut it through the bolt assembly. Sorry, but that's like complaining about a butter knife that has no durability after stepping on one end and lifting the other end with your hand. In any case. Hope this helps anyone who wants to try this thing. Maybe if any of the other reviewers had read the manual they'd be sitting pretty well by now, but you know. The only difficulty I had was pairing the Nest Connect and everything was fine once I unplugged the Bluetooth headphones I was using during setup.
