Yale Assure Lock 2 Touchscreen Keypad Deadbolt with Bluetooth, Black Suede, YRD420-BLE-BSP

I bought this based on a Consumer Reports ranking and after installing it appears to work so far EXCEPT: 1. The product says "Bluetooth" but to activate the Auto Unlock feature you actually need WiFi. The Auto Unlock feature was the main reason I bought this so, unless I buy the WiFi Module and install WiFi in my home, I cannot use this feature. Seems very misleading. 2. The thumbturn on the inside seems loose and wobbly. It works fine but compared to my previous standard manual lock it seems cheap. Will I return it? Not sure if I still can but I am thinking of it. Not sure if there is any better product.

This lock does not come with a WiFi module. The module itself is $90, so all you can do with this is stand infront of the door (my bedroom 20 feet away was not within bluetooth range) and lock-unlock. I have exact one with module, came with my security alarm system, I can check when I am in bed or at work, or in another country, if I lock the door. I can unlock it for some one, I can see all the records/history of door unlocking and who did it. It is what it should be as default. If you don't need any of those, just get a mechanical one for 3rd of the price (vevor or similar brand) that will last you longer than door itself.

This item came as a resale item when it was not marked as one, it also had scratches and defects on the exterior of the device. Furthermore this device was registered to a previous owner making it unusable to me.

Set up can be a little complicated, especially if connecting to wifi module but once set up it works great

Easy set up, but had a similar Yale lock so no drilling needed. Apple HomeKit was a bit of an issue until I discovered that “Yale setting” had to be tweaked.

they charge an extra 80$ if you want wifi access. they wait until you install it to tell you that. keypad also sucks. does not respond to your fingers at all. so you're just sitting there for minutes poking it waiting for it to wake up

Required extra part for Bluetooth operations Plus Aprox $ 100 Not worth the investment

I have not received it yet. Shipping is quite late.

The instruction book and instruction video in parallel were super helpful for installation. It is pretty seamless with other locks, no modifications needed to be made which was major plus. The multiple entry options has been a great peace of mind.

Even though the Lock is HomeKit compatible, it needs to be close enough to your Apple hub to connect to HomeKit. This is regardless, if you have the Bluetooth or the Wi-Fi module give it a shot. Also, don't expect to be able to do anything remotely such as setting up access codes; you need to be within Bluetooth range for any programming.
