"A full-featured WiFi smart lock for the price of a basic one, paid for with battery changes."
The 'Remote Control from Anywhere' via built-in WiFi means the lock connects directly to your network, but this convenience is what necessitates the unusually large 8 AA battery pack and its 6-month lifespan.
This is a strong value for a landlord or homeowner who needs remote access and user management on a budget. If you want app control from anywhere without buying a $150+ lock plus a bridge, this is a direct path.
Anyone prioritizing maximum physical security should look for a lock with a published ANSI Grade 1 or 2 rating. Users who dislike frequent battery changes can find Bluetooth-only models that last over a year on four AAs.
