Product Description
The Schlage Sense Smart Deadbolt with Century Trim in Satin Nickel makes daily life easier and more convenient. Enter an access code on the touchscreen to unlock the door instead of searching your pockets for keys. Pair the lock with your smartphone over Bluetooth . Share access with trusted friends and family with just a few taps in the Schlage Sense app – no more keeping track of spare keys. The Schlage Sense lock is easy to install yourself in minutes. It’s battery operated so there’s no hardwiring required, and the lock will still accept access codes if the power goes out at home. Typical battery life with average use is about one year, and the low battery indicator reminds you weeks in advance to replace it. You can update the lock wirelessly through the app as new features are released, which means you never have to buy a new lock to take advantage of the latest capabilities. Add the Schlage Sense Wi-Fi Adapter (sold separately) to your home Wi-Fi network to lock/unlock from anywhere on Android smartphones, iPhone , iPad or iPod touch . Or, if you have an iPad /Apple TV connected to your home Wi-Fi network, you can control the lock from your iPhone as part of your HomeKit-enabled smart home.

I did not have a deadbolt installed in my exterior door and decided to install it myself. This meant the door had to be drilled and chiseled, etc. I bought the Milwaukee door lock installation kit (about $35) and watched a few Youtube videos and I was able to pull off a pretty decent installation that looks very clean and functions well. You will also need a chisel to set the strike plates. This is easier than you would imagine. Thank you Youtube !
The main thing I did not expect about installation of this lock is that the most important thing is preparing your door. The motor that drives this deadbolt is lightweight and it needs the door to be perfectly aligned so that the bolt can open and close with no added pressure or drag. So if you have a door that you have to lift up or press in or pull out or otherwise wiggle to get the deadbolt closed, you are going to have to do some work on your door until it is all properly aligned so that the deadbolt can click open or closed easily with no interference or drag. Apparently Schlage customer support does have some tricks up their sleeve like differently shaped strike plates if needed. But that is the first thing you need to start with .... how your door and current deadbolt fit and work and do you need to adjust the door itself.
Schlage says that with correct fit the batteries will last over a year but they recommend replacing them annually anyway. However the first time your bolt tests the installation in the door it uses a low power mode to lock the bolt. If it is unable to successfully complete its "low power" cycle due to drag somewhere in the fit, after 3 unsuccessful tries it will go into a "high power" mode permanently. This will result in shorter battery life. You can check your battery level in the app. After a few weeks of constant use the batteries are still showing at 100%.
Schlage also has a nice video about installation that is available in the app or on Youtube. I was amused to see that the very first thing in the instructions is that they tell you "FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS!". For example you do not insert the batteries until a specific time and if you insert them too early you can foul up the lock's programming and self test cycle. So, READ AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS STEP BY STEP.
For extra reinforcement, Schlage provides a heavy duty backer to the strike plate on the frame and super long screws to secure it through your door frame. You may really want to have an impact driver to set these long screws. We didn't and stripped it using our regular electric screwdriver but finally got them in.... only to discover the placement was slightly off and we had a slight drag on the operation of the deadbolt. And there was no way those screws were coming out without a fight. So if I was doing it all over again, I would have set the strike plate only using the small screws until I fully tested the fit of the lock. In our case we were able to adjust the lower strike plate for the door handle inward to get the deadbolt back to non-interference operation, so we were OK.
Once physically installed, the HomeKit setup and lock programming was quick and easy. The first thing the lock did was update its firmware and I had not a single hiccup with the HomeKit. I have a 3rd generation Apple TV that's about 10 feet away from the front door and it is turned off in power saving mode most of the time but I have not noticed any problems with remote access when I have tried it. Works perfectly.
So how do we actually use the door? Well, you can assign up to 30 codes for entrance and those codes can be set to work during all hours and days or limited hours and days. It does warn you that whatever number of digits you pick for your codes that will be permanent. So we went with 4 digit codes since that's what most people are used to for their PINs. Longer codes would obviously be slightly more secure, but if you stand at the lock and try various combinations you can only make a few attempts before it sets off a built-in internal alarm. The alarm is loudest in the house and doesn't carry outside too strongly but loud enough to make the person attempting to guess your code feel uncomfortable standing there. You only get a certain number of tries before it won't accept any more and sounds the alarm.
So there are two of us in the house and we each picked a four digit code and that's what we use as our key. You can lock and unlock it using the app, but it's easier just to walk up to the door and type in your code. You can use the app to check the lock status and lock or unlock it remotely (works perfectly with our HomeKit setup) and also to view an extensive log of who has locked/unlocked the door and when. You can set the door to auto lock at the interval of your choice. On the exterior, as soon as you close the door you can press the Schlage button to lock the door immediately without waiting for it to auto lock. Once inside we are making it a habit to manually lock the door upon entry to save battery so it doesn't auto lock every time.
So I always used to be stressed out about "did I have my key with me" and now ... I just don't need a key. The door is locked a lot more than before. It has a built in alarm that responds to tampering. It keeps a record of when it's been opened and closed. And I can remotely allow access to someone if needed which is a huge comfort given that my dogs are left in the house a lot and I'd always worried about how I would handle that if I was stuck somewhere and needed someone to go in and take care of them.... now I can do it easily from wherever.
Documentation of HomeKit features is sparse but I expect that to improve over time. For example the one time I set off the lock's alarm by typing in the wrong code repeatedly, i would have expected it to send me a notification that the alarm had been set off. It did not and I have no way of knowing if it was supposed to or not or how to set it to do that if possible.
IN SUMMARY, I LOVE THIS LOCK. For a future upgrade, I can see the value of adding an automatic door closer so I am considering adding one of those to my door to make sure it closes fully on its own so that the auto lock can be completely successful without my remembering to fully manually close the door.
There are several options to using this lock:
1) Manually adding codes without using the a smartphone app -- I'm not sure why anybody would pay for this lock and stick with this option, as the "smart" part of the lock will essentially be disabled, but it's nice to know it's an option.
2) HomeKit using an Apple TV as a hub -- This is my setup and it works very well. This option is available for anyone who has a 3rd generation Apple TV and up (I use the 4th gen) -- if you don't know what generation you have, google search the model number on the back or underside of the device. This is probably the easiest way to set this lock up for people who use everything Apple. I have my Apple TV on one end of my 1,000 square foot condo and the lock on the other end. The lock "sees" the Apple TV just fine. There has never been a connectivity issue. Setting up required little tech know-how, as Apple has made the process very breezy. I have many options on how to use the lock: Siri, HomeKit app, Schlage Sense app, manually entering codes, etc. I usually manually enter codes to enter my place as it's the fastest route. But pulling out my phone to say, "hey Siri, unlock my front door" is pretty painless. My favorite part of using the apps to manage the lock is remote access to the lock. I can manually lock, unlock, assign codes, disable codes, all from the Schlage Sense app as long as I have an internet connection -- all of this without a subscription fee that other smart lock manufacturers charge. I love it.
3) HomeKit using an iPad as a hub -- Again, mostly for Apple product users. I tried this a bit just to see how well it worked, but I switched back to the Apple TV since the Apple TV will always be home and plugged in. It works just like the Apple TV option, and set up is a breeze. It's pretty much streamlined and easy thanks to the HomeKit set up process being straightforward.
4) Schlage Sense Wi-Fi Adapter option -- I have not tried this option out, so I can't vouch for how well it works. This is the only way, I've read, to enable smart compatibilities using and Android device. This is an additional purchase unfortunately, but all IoT smart "things" require hubs or adapters, so it's not a big deal.
If you want to use another type of hub with the lock, currently you're out of luck. It only supports Apple TV, iPad, or the Wi-Fi adapter. The Schlage Connect lock is the lock you'll want to buy instead, if you want to use your Amazon Echo, Samsung SmartThings hub, etc.
Overall Pros:
* Fingerprint resistant, high quality surface covering the buttons. This is what makes this lock compared to others I've used. Some smart locks have a glossy LCD screen that you hover your hand over the panel, press a few random buttons which are prompted, then enter your code. Clunky. Not this one. You simply enter your code and it unlocks. There are no physical buttons to wear out, and since it's a matte nickel finish, you can't tell which numbers are frequently used.
* Lots of connectivity options -- see above
* Batteries are very easily replaceable
* Battery life - I've used the lock now for about 4 months and I'm only down to 81% battery life. This is phenomenal. I'll likely only need to change the batteries once every 2 years or so. Your mileage may vary, of course, based on how often it's used and how well the cylinder is aligned.
* HomeKit integration is fantastic
Cons:
* The thing is loud -- but the noise is hardly a factor in my like of the lock
* The indoor part of the lock is bulky -- this doesn't bother me though
* Not compatible with non-Apple or Schlage hubs (get the Schlage Connect for that)
* I had an issue where all the doors in my condo used unusually long cylinders to have the handles and locks further away from the door frame. I ran into serious issues with getting this installed, since this lock was incompatible with my old cylinder. I had to drill a new hole for the lock and fill/patch the old hole in the door. But this is hardly Schlage's fault.
If you want a smart lock and own mostly Apple products, get this lock. You won't regret it.

Installation+instructions were so easy I didn’t even need his help. Literally just followed the instructions.
I’ve been so happy with it, I bought one for my garage too! You will not regret. (Unless you want one with proximity sensor, then ya, you’ll regret cuz this doesn’t have that feature)
Currently in use without wifi adapter. (I figured I’m an iphone/homekit user and siri, keypad, key would be sufficient)
I will/may update review if purchased.
A configuração foi bem tranquila e o funcionamento tanto com senha como via HomeKit está perfeito até o momento.
Does exactly what it should. Recommend the wifi adapter.
I’m able to lock and unlock my condo from the other side of the globe. And see the history of who has come and gomeo
Downside. Amazon Australia website advertised a separate plug in unit for a big extra price but said it was needed to get full wi fi phone control of the lock. I paid the extra as a separate order. Very high delivery cost because as it turns out it had to come from the USA. Thu unit when it arrived is no use. USA plugs and rated to only 110 volts. seems it is not available in a 240 volt version. So no wi-fi which was advertised as a feature by Amazon Australia and why i chose this lock over others.
