Wyze Lock

I was a little skeptical about keeping my old deadbolt, but this smart lock snaps right on and works perfectly. Being able to check if the door is locked from my phone has already saved me from turning back home twice.

Took maybe 10 minutes to install — just swapped out the backplate on my existing deadbolt — and now I can lock the door from my work desk. The app connects reliably every time, which was my main worry.

I was a little skeptical about keeping my old deadbolt, but this lock paired in under five minutes and the remote lock/unlock from my phone has been flawless. The auto-lock feature is a nice peace of mind so I never have to wonder if I locked the door.
