Specifications Schlage’s smart lock is finally widely available at Home Depot in its modern Century style in matte black and satin nickel.Īs you’ll see in my hands-on video, home key is a great way to access your home with your iPhone or Apple Watch via just a tap. The Schlage Encode Plus is the first such consumer lock solution to take advantage of the NFC-powered Apple home key support. It would be better if the keypad had a button that was obvious to push to light up the whole set of numbers.As first announced at WWDC 2021, iOS 15 evolves Apple Wallet to store keys for hotels, homes, and even cars. Secondly, the keypad is totally black until it's activated by guessing where the numbers are, then it lights up. So with this lock, better stock up on batteries. I replaced the batteries with the alkaline batteries and in 1 week they went from 95% to 70% (the app has a handy feature that tells you the battery level). They went dead in under 10 weeks and the lock, on front door, is seldom used as we use the side entrance. When I installed the lock 2 1/2 months ago, I used Everyready lithium batteries instead of the Duracell batteries that came with the product, as lithium batteries generally outlast alkaline. The Schlage website says 6 months between battery replacement. Why only 2 stars? Firstly, the battery life is terrible. The lock mechanism works very smoothly and is good looking too. The associated app is also very good, lots of control and fast. Poor battery life I bought this lock 2 1/2 months ago and the installation was easy.
