Nest Yale Electronic LockI’ve been through a few electronic deadbolts over the years, mainly the Kwikset Powerbolt and the Kwikset Smartcode, both of which utilize pressure pads. Although they’ve been reliable, the pressure pad does wear out over time and the Kwikset Smartcode lock goes through AA batteries very quickly, as in 3 months max.While I haven’t had the Nest lock long enough to determine its battery life longevity, I can say that literally, every other attribute about this lock is far superior to the Kwikset’s that I’ve owned in the past.What I like:-Easy Install*-Bolt manually engages and disengages silky smooth, with no resistance.-Bolt points left-to-right when in the locked position, which is what I’m use to, vice some locks that point up-down in the locked position. As a creature of habit, the left-to-right lockup gives me a good visual.-The 9v battery backup option is brilliant, because I can always pop the battery out of my garage door opener if needed due to battery failure on the lock.-Near silent operation. My other Kwikset lock was very loud, gas powered not weed eater loud, but loud.-Unlocks super fast, with almost zero wait time for entry.-Lock App is simple and not cluttered with a plethora of icons for seldom used features.-Smooth glass touch face is easy to activate and instantly responsive to touch.-A smartphone or tablet isn’t required to make the lock operational, although a smart devices is indeed necessary to access the App.*A note about installing the module: My lock wouldn’t initially pair with my module, if you run into this issue, try a few things first before giving up;-During setup, connect the module as instructed without plugging it into the wall, just push on the front of the module to activate the light.-If the module still isn’t recognized, relocate the module to a receptacle closer to the lock.-After the module is activated, when instructed to connect the lock to the module, ensure that you use the same access point that you used when activating the module. Some homes have different networks that auto switch to the strongest access point signal, so just double check that your phone or tablet hasn’t auto-switched to a different access point.What I don’t like:-Cost ~ This is a pricy lock considering that it has minimal features compared to other brand of flagship locks. Purchased for a good price during Black Friday, otherwise, I could’ve never justified the retail price, even though I’m thoroughly impressed with the product thus far.-Google ~ Nest was bought out by Google, so it’s necessary to create a google account in order access the app features.-Styling ~ The outside portion of Nest Yale lock is spectacular. However, the same degree of sleek, minimalist styling wasn’t applied to the interior portion of the lock. It’s not unattractive by any stretch, but it’s far from awe-inspiring compared to the effort that Yale achieved on the front side of the lock.-Would prefer a completely tool-less battery access panel.Overall, I’m thrilled with the lock thus far, 5 Stars thrilled despite some of the shortfalls. However, if battery life turns out to be short, I’ll end up deducting a star.

this product is great. Easy to install and very effective for remote entry.

This door lock is awesome. The style, look, and overall feel are amazing. This meant for dead bolt-only locks. The installation is spot on. It is straightforward to install and once it is installed the lock is very secure. It can be used with Nest or Google apps but I needed help connecting it. I have Google Home but it requires you to use the Nest app for this to work. The unit has no wifi so it connects to this Bluetooth device you need to plug it near the lock if you want to use the app to lock or unlock the device. I am not using the app so all of that is not needed. Just put in your 4-digit code and it locks and unlocks just like any dead-bolt without a key. It takes 4 double AA batteries that come with it. This is a superb dead-bolt lock. Should have gotten this a long time ago. I use this lock on my garage door.

### Review: Nest Connect and Google Yale LockI've been using the Nest Connect and Google Yale Lock for a few months now, and my experience has been frustrating, to say the least. The main issue is that they frequently go offline, which completely defeats the purpose of having a smart lock and connected system.**Connectivity Issues**: Despite having a strong Wi-Fi signal, both the Nest Connect and the Yale Lock struggle to stay connected. This has left me locked out of my home on several occasions and has made remote access and control virtually impossible.**Inconsistent Performance**: When the devices are online, they work well. However, this consistency is rare. The connection drops often, and I find myself constantly having to reset or troubleshoot the devices.**Customer Support**: Reaching out to customer support has not been very helpful. The standard troubleshooting steps don't resolve the core issue of the connectivity problems, and I've yet to receive a solution that actually works.**Firmware Updates**: While I appreciate that Nest and Google try to fix issues through firmware updates, these updates haven't resolved the offline problems. In fact, sometimes they seem to create new issues.**Overall Experience**: For the premium price point, I expected a lot more reliability from both the Nest Connect and the Google Yale Lock. The frequent offline status makes them unreliable for daily use. I cannot recommend these products until significant improvements are made to their connectivity and performance.I've been using the Nest Connect and Google Yale Lock for a few months now, and my experience has been frustrating, to say the least.

Proceed with caution if you're considering adding these to your smart home setup.

Excelente producto, funciona muy bien

This is one of those things where spending money takes you a long way. If you have a google home system, this lock is the way to go. I know there are other cheaper locks out there but if you can save or invest in this specific lock, I 100% recommend

Highly recommended
