Review videos need to be more like this. He didn't give us his life story, moved pretty fast through the contents and feature while still covering everything. Concise without feeling rushed. When will you compare the nest camera & IQ?
Thanks Austin! I'm glad to hear you liked the review. We wrote a comparison of the Nest cameras smarthomesolver.com/reviews/nest-cam-iq-vs-nest-cam-outdoor-vs-indoor/ and maybe we will do a video of that soon.
Austin 100% agree!
Austin back story’s are good nice to why they want it
this is why i subscribed 3 mins into the video
perfect right into review no long intro answered all my questions... thanks man great video
I had this Yale Nest lock for at least a year. So many times I couldn’t get it to connect to Nest Connect. The last time it just wouldn’t connect, so I’m done with it. I bought the Yale Assure lock. It set up fairly easy although not on the first try, and so far after 2 months it’s not failed me. I especially like it opening the door when I arrive home. I hope to continue having good luck with this lock.
The fact you’re wearing a skynet shirt while reviewing a smart lock...... the revolution has begun!
Loved the ending - what a good sport she was! I didn't expect to laugh while investigating locks. Also very informative, thank you so much!
Oh god, this review has everything. Excellent info on the product and great sense of humor at the end. I just subscribed, looking forward to more reviews!
Thanks Elmer! I appreciate you sticking around till the end of the video too!
The ending was hilarious!!! Love it!!
loCsOfLo\/3 Ms JADE Hahaha! "Let me in daddy!" 🤣🤣
No toddlers were abandoned in the making of this video. Thanks for watching, everyone! If you have any questions, drop them below and we'll get a good discussion going.
I realized later that the settings button on the lock can be used by first typing in the master code and press the settings button instead of the checkmark. Not sure why you would do that over using the app and why the voice prompt doesn't help with figuring this out.
Can we put any battery if we are in
I'm not sure about rechargeable batteries but any standard AA battery will work.
@@SmartHomeSolver can you unlock this from work or the store or while your out of town or do you have to be close to the door to get in
Reed, This Video is Great, I Will show you how This lock works:
[To enable Privacy Mode: Hold down the White Button for 5 Seconds, Until the Button Blinks Blue and responds *Privacy mode enabled* and the Button blinks Green Twice]
[To disable Privacy Mode: Hold down the Button for Five Seconds, Until it beeps, Then the lock will respond *Privacy mode is off*
Note: When One tries to Use the Keypad with Privacy Mode Enabled, The lock will respond a message *Please try again at another time* If you hear this, You may not use the keypad!
Note: When the Lock's Batteries Are Low, Even when you use the keypad, The Keypad Will show a Red Low Battery Light,
It will speak a Low Battery Warning, The Warning looks like this: *The battery is very low, Replace the battery soon*
On the Nest App: It may show a Low Battery Status, If you wait too long, The Batteries will be Dead Completely! Don't worry! You can use the 9V Battery on the Terminals on the Bottom of the Lock!
@@themodulator2345 he said that
Really great video. Detailed, yet straight to the point.
+Kira Lech thanks!
Thank you for showing the privacy feature, couldn't figure that one out
Thanks for the review. Question. Does it let you know if there was a failed pass code attempt? Is there character limit to the code you set?
Great review. Thank you for the in depth review. I have considered purchasing this home automation device for some time now
Also at first I hated having to hit the check after code unlike the Schlage I had prior but I realized people cannot guess the length of your code this way. With the Schlage all codes had to be the same length and after you enters 4 numbers the lock would error out telling someone your code is 4 digits long.
I know it is rare for someone to guess the code but still, now they have no idea if it is 4, 6, or 8 numbers long.
That's true it's more secure not knowing the code length. I would just prefer the check mark to be optional after the correct code is pressed, that way it could still not give away how long the code is. Not a big deal, I'm just being nitpicky.
Excellent review. First time watching one of your videos and it hit all of the key points and even answered all of my questions. Great job. You have a new subscriber my friend.
Thanks Wish Morgan that means a lot to me!
Awesome review man! Keep them coming!
+Robert J thanks!
Thank you for the informative video. Is the privacy setting able to be enabled remotely from the nest app, or do you have to be within the same WiFi network at home?
Next X Yale works great. I have it for a month now. The motor is super quiet.
No built in Camera? is there any monthly fee from Nest ?
Such an informative video! Great job!
Nice review video..it’s 3 years old but I’m going to use this video to install it tomorrow!!! Thanks bro!!
Please advise recommendation for the keyed lock underneath the Nest X Yale. I want to prevent guests from locking themselves out and defaulting to a key. Thanks, good video. Keep them simple.
Great review! Debating about getting this. I have a security door and not sure if I can install it on my security door.
This is GREAT! Deff changing my lock thank you!!
It talks to you?! 🤯 wow excellent video. Thanks so much! I think I’ll survive with the check mark “con” haha
Nice job! I've been thinking I should pick up one of these. Great review!
Thanks, Brett! That means a lot coming from a pro UA-camr like yourself. Nice connecting with you.
Working on it! Consistency is key and just keep making what you love. Looks like I have a few things to learn from you on Twitter!
I really learned from ur videos,I'm grateful.
I laughed out loud at the ending. That was awesome
😂😂😂
I had Geek Squad install my lock after Purchased. I worked fine but when the tech left, is when I began to have problems with the lock. It would not lock at times, and I got warnings that the communication between the lock and the WiFi hub. The two was only 4 ft apart, so that was a mistry. At times it would push the Plunger in all the way without any resistance, but other times it would have difficulty pushing it in all the way. I think that if there is the least bit of alignment with your door….you will have a problem with this Lock!
Still I would recomend it, it’s a great item when it’s working correctly.
Great review !!
If you have to decide between this lock and the August Smart Lock Pro? I am struggling on choosing :S
Thanks for your review. Can it be install at an exterior gate with no roof on top?
The settings button works if you do not have it set up on the Nest Application and are using the lock as a standalone lock.
Thanks for the tip!
Great review, do you know if there is anyway to connect a wireless keyfob to it so I can open the door as I walk up to it? Using any modules etc? Im hoping its possible with z-wave somehow
This is the best video about Nest Lock. Super complete and well explained. Thank you
Great review. What smart home do you suggest?
Thanks you solved a problem for me. Door frame hole wasnt deep enough. Thats why it kept saying lock is stuck.
+Michael Wulfbeer that's great to hear you got it figured out. I just used a drill and a screwdriver to deepen the hole which is probably not the best way. Hopefully yours doesn't look as bad as mine.
Great review... thanks
Last 5 seconds are gold
Outstanding instructional video
do you also lock the doorknob with the keyhole? do you need one? in the yale lock marketing pics i see knobs without keyholes... relying solely on the deadbolt of the yale lock. what are your thoughts on this?
can you show what is within the home/away assist submenu? does it trigger the nest thermostat to go into home mode?
I was honestly asking myself if this awesome lock would be suitable for my location (arizona) and was surprised when you answered just that. Thank you! I will be purchasing this because of your awesome review video 👍🏼
Z
Could you get a notification if the door sensor is triggered while the lock is engaged? (someone broke in). Maybe using Hubitat or SmartThings?
great video.. you sold me!!
Hi,
Do you think it’s possible to go for retro fitting with this smart lock? My door is 3” thick and I can’t seem to find ANY smart door lock that particularly supports 3” door.
Very cool. I love you man!
great review! so helpful!!! why can't all review videos be like this!
do you have reviews on other smart locks for the front door?
Thanks! Yes there is another lock that is a really good option ua-cam.com/video/TlZ_IMP7yOw/v-deo.html
The ending is too funny.
Awsome review mate
Thanks!
The settings icon is for enabling disabling other hidden features like Setup mode activation
Hi Reed, Did Google update any of the features regarding voice command, or proximity unlock from phone BT/geo-fence/etc...?
i got the security system. thermostat E. and outdoor camera. so very mcuh debating if this is necessary to have lol
do you have to use the included deadbolt? or can it lock/unlock an existing lock as long as the knob thingy fits?
Doubt it. You will have enough trouble getting the Nest dead bolt perfect.
Great video! Do you know of a smart lock that has both a passcode and Bluetooth option? It would be great to give Bluetooth access to people that live in the house and a temporary passcode to guests.
What the oval white plug in the wall piece use for? I don't think you mention about its use with the lock.
Great review!! 👏👏👏
I think it’s weird I can see the deadbolt from the outside your house. The lock is nice looking. I have the Schlage zwave lock which I’ve enjoyed for about 3-4 years now. Using it with smartthings.
So after more than a year of use , what's your opinion on the lock so far ?.
cant wait for the yale 2
nest connect is having a hard time connecting to my nest yale lock.what would u suggest should i do? did u have that same problem?
Does it notify you if the door is unlocked from the inside ? Example like if my son open the door, would I be able to know or get a notification that he open the door from the inside
Great video. I wish it had keypad key scramble. Guess I have to pass on this. Thanks for the great video.
Can you program a schedule to unlock and lock the door during certain hours?
Can you have multiple locks on your nest account e.g. Front door, side door and use the same passcode for each person?
Great review.
I have that lock. I am selling my home and I want to give the new buyer certainty that I am not going to have any control over it. So, I understand I can remove the batteries to reset the lock but I am not sure if that's enough to lose control of the lock from the app we have installed. Your thoughts?
I have a narrow glass panel beside the wooden door. Is there a way to disable the manual unlock from the inside. What is stopping an intruder braking the glass panel and unlocking the door?
have you come across any smart video door bell that have facial recognition(like apple faceid) that integrates with other smart lock and auto unlock when detects home users
Good lock, nice review. Only thing that could make this better is a key hole
Do you need to sign up for the nest aware to have some
Of the features?
Can the lock be toggled using the physical knob/switch from the inside? It _looks_ like it should be able to be used by hand, but I'm curious if that grinds the electronically controlled gears.
+Jason Karns yes the lock can be opened from the knob inside. At 2:53 it's really fast but the lock is opened from inside. It's really easy to turn like a normal bolt lock.
The check is a security feature. If your code is a subset of someone else's code it would unlock early under the other identity.
We had one of these in our AirBNB in NC
If you manually unlock from the inside and walk out... Does it automatically lock after you walk out after a few seconds/minutes ?? My friends keypad lock does that and I really like that...
Hi Erik thanks for the comment. Yes it can automatically lock after a certain amount of time. Here is some more info on it. nest.com/support/article/How-to-change-Nest-Yale-Lock-s-settings-with-the-app#Auto-Lock
What nest Smart hub do you use to operate your nest devices?
I have three of these, and just started using Home Assistant. I haven't found a way to integrate them just yet. Any ideas?
Can this lock be managed when you are away from the property? Can I add, or remove codes from wherever I am. OR do I have to be at or near the property
So have they upgraded anything on this lock since your initial review?
Hey i have the same lock but for some reason the setting icon on my door lock is missing! Is there a reason for that? And how to get that back on?
HEY LOVE YOUR VIDEOS ALWAYS WATCH THEM want to know IS THERE A WAY THAT I CAN GET THE LOCK TO OPEN AUTOMATICALLY WITH NEST HELLO BASED ON KNOWN FACES?
WHY ARE WE SHOUTING
Love to know if there is a setting to automatically unlock if a Nest Protect detects smoke.
You can turn the knob from the inside. Otherwise it would be a security vulnerability, imagine a burglar getting some smoke under the door and boom the lock let him in!
Also, what if you turn on privacy mode and you end up outside the home and your Internet or nest has an outage. Are you now locked out inspite of you having your smartphone with you ?
This lock has been out for some time now, and with pending, Home app updates, is there a newer version coming?
As far as security it does no make your door more secure just adds convenience. For the same amount you can get a good Schlage high security deadbolt.
I was looking at this today. Is there a video of the best lock 2019
I haven't made a video like that but the Schlage Encode just came out and that's a great lock. The best lock will really depend on if you use Nest, HomeKit, SmartThings or just want it to connect straight to WiFi.
Hey! Quick question. How many can you connect to one yale connect?
Do you think that you’ll review the Eufy door lock?
Can you do an update or does the new yale come with geo fence
does this work for a building gate?
i feel we need WiFi access , so the closes unit should provide the WiFi
Will this work with Smart Things? I have a lot of Nest stuff and saw you can add Nest products but wasn’t sure about this lock.
Hey +Jeffry Andrews. It doesn't look like it's currently working with SmartThings right now. It doesn't have Z-Wave or Zigbee but hopefully, the SmartThings app Nest Manager will add the lock soon.
jiust get it a lot cheaper on ratedgadgets
Such an appropriate shirt to discuss a networked locking system for the sake of our security! :D :D Alrighty, one question, can you label the lock so we can have multiple for the house, where the app can differentiate between what lock and who is accessing it? Thanks
Haha thanks! Yes you can label each lock and it should say what code/person assigned access which door.
can the app be used to unlock from anywhere or it has to be running on the same WiFi?
You’re a cool dude! Great videos
hi there, do you know if its waterproof?? thks in advance
How much total did it cost for the lock and the nest device it needs to work?
Hilarious ending, lol!!!
I just installed mine but the nest connect bluetooth wall adapter isn't showing that 6 digit code my nest app is asking for, how do I find it? THX
Good review, but i had to hit the like button just because of the ending.
Is Nest Connect a ‘hub’ or service? If so is there any locks that just work with WiFi and app? Same app as Nest thermostat? Thanks for sharing!
Nest Connect is like a small hub. There are actually some locks coming out that just work with Wi-Fi. Schalge Encode just announced one at CES. I tried it out at CES and I really like it. Check it out here ua-cam.com/video/ZnfZYRrysDE/v-deo.html
@@SmartHomeSolver , will one Nest Connect manage more than one Yale lock?
Can I still purchase this lock with the nest connect but only not use the nest connect? I have an existing Google ecosystem in the house will it work without that nest connect in the box?
This is a great video, but oh my god do I hate this lock. It’s the least reliable smart home thing in our house. Google is a software company that doesn’t understand that some hardware products just need to work all the time.
But still a great video!
You may want to consider doing a video on how to get this thing connected to Nest. It took many attempts and a little black magic to finally get it to connect him and asked. I had to reset the master code and now after many many many attempts, it will not connect to Nest. Unless you are an IT guy, or nerd, you may not want to consider this product. Beware of comments like, “this is simple”
