Smart Keypad

As far as keyless entry locks go, the Alfred D2 is in my opinion better than average. I had two Kwikset keyless locks that would often lose connection with my Hubitat hub which would result in some situations when my lock would not lock automatically, as programmed. I bought one Alfred D2 to try it out and have been very happy with the connectivity, ability to add codes for family and quiet operation. So, bought a second one for my garage entry to replace the Kwikset and it works just as well for connectivity and automation. I have the front door programmed to lock after it remains closed for over 5 minutes and the garage to lock after it remains closed for over 15 minutes. This allows for time to be doing things in the garage while enjoying a longer (and programmable) auto lock time through my home automation system. What I don't like is the OneTouch unlock is very unreliable and fails much more than it works which is the only thing preventing a 5-star review. I really wanted this feature to work, making entry from my garage to be much easier than putting an armful of groceries down to push in the unlock code. So, this is my only complaint and if this is not an important feature for you, the lock is 5-stars. The lock is easy to install, battery life is great, it is quiet and integrated well with my home automation system using the optional Z-Wave module. Strongly recommended if you don't find the one-touch feature important.

This smart lock has it all. Not only is it the nicest looking lock, it has all the features making it one of the best functional ones. There are so many great features: * One touch entry: I'm a cyclist with little kids--so opening the door at a touch is not just handy, but a safety feature! * Embedded passcode: for when you mistype the pincode--not just to prevent someone from discovering your code * Long battery life with a hidden micro usb power port if you miss the warnings on the lock itself and in the app. * Phone app access which you can log out of through the use of another phone if you ever misplace your phone. * A GASKET -- every lock should have one of these as you might discover when you take off the old one and have to deal with the marks left behind The lock and app are both easy to use and intuitive. I've used it a year now in the AZ sun (between 9-12 am where it’s seeing 120+ F temps in the spring/winter/fall--I wouldn’t install it on the back door in the full afternoon heat in the summer). The battery is at 52% and the touchscreen looks and acts like it did coming out of the box. The team is still improving the features. For instance, the app now logs when the lock is enabled. I’m impressed. It is by far the prettiest lock out there, but it also has the features to back it up. Love my DB2! *This review is going to say I received a review lock, but in all honesty, I wouldn’t have worked with the team for one if I didn’t think I would love it--much less drilled the optional (USE THE BILT INSTRUCTIONS!) in a door I just painted prior to installing. My old keyless lock worked just fine and I’m generally not the first to try out smart/tech devices. This lock was more than worth the switch.
