Review on Yale Assure Lock Z Wave SmartThings by Tory Richardson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Very happy with Security & Surveillance

So far this has been everything I expected and more. The lock paired easily with my ST hub and I use it with the Enhanced Auto Door Lock app and the Smart Locks app. Opens and closes very smoothly. It's well done. The only thing I didn't like but fixed right away is that it locks itself if you press any button on the outside. This can be a problem if you have a closer - the door can slam shut if the latch is removed. I turned it off right away. The battery indicator still shows 100% after two weeks of use. I programmed it to automatically lock after a short delay using the Enhanced Auto Door Lock app. There I had to remove a few lines of code to prevent the app from sending the unlock command. Now it works great. It's been over a year and still works as it should. The batteries lasted about a year with moderate use. The castle weathered Florida's wet weather with ease. It is not exposed to direct sunlight or rain, but can get wet if it is windy. If you see the battery indicator shows 20%, replace the batteries.

Pros
  • Works with Alexa via a compatible hub. Features may vary by Z-Wave controller. Requires a compatible Smart Functions System
Cons
  • Requires Socket
