Review on Schlage FE599NX CAM 716 ACC by Srivatsan Oling

These Schlage locks are great. I have two of these, one by the front door of the garage and one by the closet where I kept the guns. I also have two Schlage Connect mortise locks for the front and rear entrance doors. I use these with my Smartthings hub and they work really well. There is a built in alarm which is cool. I can track when doors open and receive text messages to let me know when people come and go from my home. I also set an alarm to notify me if these doors open after 10pm. I have set the front and rear entry locks to lock if left unlocked for more than 90 seconds. This is in case someone forgets to lock the door after exiting. I like these for interior doors as they don't really make any noise when the door is unlocked. By default, they also lock the door again after a few seconds. These are the versions of the Schalge Connect with latches. They make noise when opening/closing, so I use the key early in the morning or late at night to avoid waking a sleeping child.

However, the finish was great! In direct sunlight there are no problems with paint wear. A NOTICE. I do NOT use a Home Hub and Schalge Connect service. That costs money every month. I use the Smartthings hub as there is NO monthly fee and I can do whatever I want with their apps. (By the way, GOOD Z-Wave system.) Samsung SmartThings F-HUB-US-2 Hub - White
