This is a great review Michael. I have been using Yale locks with and without a Zwave hub for 8 years now at our AirBnB, and your analysis is dead on. Great video - thanks!
Hellow uncle how are you? Your video is very nice but if your thumbnail is better it will help to increase your video views..Do you need a professional UA-cam thumbnail designer?

Good stuff! Thanks for a great, real-life review of what's worked (and what hasn't) with these.
Glad it was helpful!

Appreciate that, thanks!
My go to smart locks are Schlage Encode, Kwikset Halo Touch & Lockly.
Agreed with your observations on the Yale assure locks
I really wanted the Schlage Encode Plus for Apple Home Key when it first came out, but it was out-of-stock or just too expensive.
@@michaelsleen yeah they struggled to keep it in stock for awhile there
How's the battery life on the Yale with zwave? I've seen that the Yale with wifi option is incredibly bad, so I'm hoping zwave would be better.
Zero complaints. I love that lock and would happily put it on all my exterior doors.
@@michaelsleen Cool. Thanks for the quick response!
Thanks for the video.
What you think about the aqara locks?
While I don't have one, I think they are a solid option. I like how the new U200 uses Matter over Thread and supports Apple Home Key.
Just the video I was looking for. What Zwave usb stick do you use?
Just added a link to it in the video description. Glad this video was helpful!
@@michaelsleenthanks a lot 😊 I have two Yale Assure Lock SL with two Zwave Plus modules I want to integrate with home assistant
Hellow uncle
how are you?

I'm good for now, but thanks.
