Best Z-Wave Smart Lock for the Money? Kwikset Home Connect 620

[@BrandonDoyleMN]

If you’ve got a Z-wave hub in your home this lock is a great bang for your buck and very reliable. I like your tests

[@baudneo]

What controller are you using and how did you include the lock? I've spent 5 days trying to add this lock to my brand new controller without luck.

[@karmasuture1]

Great content but that beeping transition noise is unbelievably annoying you need a different one

[@DIYSmartHomeGuy1]

good feedback. Thanks!

[@BudsSmartHome]

Good video John. Thumbs up!

[@DIYSmartHomeGuy1]

Many thanks!

Just ordered 2 Venetian Bronze on Prime Day for $89ea! Can't wait to get them going.

[@DIYSmartHomeGuy1]

Awesome! Thanks for the feedback!

Fully compatible with Ring Alarm base station?

[@ShaneS071]

been looking for a outdoor z-wave or zigbee door lock with finger print reader and auto lock feature, any advice

[@DIYSmartHomeGuy1]

Working on it!

[@HeatherDerieux21]

Were you able to find this criteria?

[@ShaneS071]

@@HeatherDerieux21 I used a Pine World Pro lock system , and just bought a ULTRALOQ World's First Z-Wave Smart Lock with Fingerprint ID to replace that when it goes bad

[@jerrycrocker5732]

I use this with Home Assistant and cannot get it to report its locked/unlocked state. Either if its changed manually or via zwave it never reports its state back. Any idea if there is a specific parameter for this? it seemingly worked for a few days then just always says unlocked or unavailable for its state. Has no issue receiving zwave commands to trigger the lock so i know the network isn't at fault here.

[@alanoldaker563]

Is there a way in Hubitat to get alerted for the jam?

[@DIYSmartHomeGuy1]

Not to my knowledge. you can always close a virtual lock at the same time and then compare the two after a new seconds to minutes. Will for sure tell you if they don't match, but not specifically the reason.

Thank you very much Mama GK! I love your cooking videos!

[@davidrobinson2515]

Can’t get this to work with Samsung SmartThings v3 hub. Is that because it is zwave 700?

[@DIYSmartHomeGuy1]

Not sure. Check the SmartThings community. They may have more experience on the issue. Sorry I can' help more.

[@Dazdigo]

I wish these deadbolts used 18650s, they are rechargeable, cheap and will last a lot longer than 4 AA.

[@DIYSmartHomeGuy1]

Yeah, still a way to go on the "power-friendly" side of these locks.

[@dankelley9361]

I think a great addition would be to include install & a SmartThings review.

[@DIYSmartHomeGuy1]

thanks for the input. It's much appreciated.

[@ypark2877]

The very New Smarthings station no zwave?

[@DIYSmartHomeGuy1]

My understanding is that the SmartThings Station (as opposed to the SmartThings Hub) does not have a Z-Wave radio. If you want the Z-Wave and you want to stick with SmartThings, you'll need the SmartThings Hub (which is built by Aeotec)

[@PricklyGuyCreations]

Can this be used with hubitat to see whos key code was entered? ex. 1234 is john "John unlocked door" or 5678 is Jack "Jack unlocked the door"

[@DIYSmartHomeGuy1]

Yes it can

[@vijay.peachi]

Nice video. My Bluetooth pairing is not working. Do you have a video for that ?

[@seanschops3172]

On clearance right now at lowes for $74.

[@DIYSmartHomeGuy1]

Great price for a great lock!

[@DejaGruvBand]

What app works with this lock?

[@DIYSmartHomeGuy1]

It's a Z-Wave lock so it needs a Z-Wave hub. Whichever one you pick will have an app.

[@DejaGruvBand]

@@DIYSmartHomeGuy1 It is and I don’t have a z wave hub

[@baudneo]

This device is trash. It refuses to pair with my zwave network "S2 bootstrapping failed: secure inclusion timout elapsed." Going on day 5 of trying to add 2 of these locks to a brand new zwave controller on home assistant and z wave js ui. Z wave is garbage.
