The Lockly Flex Touch is a Bluetooth smart lock with a built-in fingerprint scanner, but you'll need to pay an extra $80 for the plug-in Wi-Fi hub that lets you control it from anywhere or pair it with a voice assistant. You can use the mobile app or the key fob for keyless door entry. If you do, you'll need to buy the Kevo Plus connect module. Kwikset Kevo Bluetooth Deadbolt: Kwikset's second-gen Kevo is a good Bluetooth smart lock and a simple answer to smartening your door if you don't need remote control access. If it were me buying, I'd try to catch it on sale for less than $200, but this is definitely a smart lock worth considering if you want fingerprint access at your front door. It was a strong performer in our tests, with a snappy, responsive fingerprint scanner and a relatively quiet design, and it supports voice controls via Alexa or Google Assistant (no HomeKit support, though).

Another version features a Z-Wave radio instead of Wi-Fi for $291 - it might be worth considering if your home already has a Z-Wave hub that can communicate with it.Įditor's note: In August 2020, PCMag and Bitdefender released a report alleging that August and Yale Android apps when working with Connect modules were vulnerable to a hack during setup mode that could give away Wi-Fi credentials.

About the only August feature that you don't get here is compatibility with Apple HomeKit (sorry, Siri). With that August Connect Wi-Fi bridge pairing the lock with your home network, this version of the August lock is compatible with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa for voice control, and you'll find the same great remote access features in the August mobile app.
