Delaney Deadbolt Z-Wave - Touchpad Keypad - Polished Chrome

This thing has a very low-quality application and apparently, you need their proprietary hub to connect it to Alexa, you can't do it with Wink or a standard Z-wave hub. Skip this and get one from one of the real lock companies.

I tried 3 different HS4 systems and none of them could add this lock. I even tried adding it as an insecure device. No luck. I must have spent 3 hours adding and removing, resetting etc. No luck. So, I called their support and they had never heard of HomeSeer. God was clearly sending me a message. Sent it back. Had I been able to add the device, I would have complained that the keypad is very hard to wake up requiring 2 or 3 attempts and then you have to punch the random numbers it displays THEN you can enter your code. But you're not done yet, then you have to press the lock/unlock button to open the lock. We have 3 Schlage and 2 Yales. They both let you walk up, enter the code and they open. Who wants 10 key presses for a 4 digit code?

This is great. I do not have to worry about lost keys anymore. Kids can use it to get in & out and when my son forgets to lock the door, I can lock it from my phone while at work or can set it to auto lock if I want. I originally started with just the ZWave lock alone and used it with Samsung Smart Things hub, but because Samsung constantly "polls" the items you have connected it would kill the batteries quickly. I then replaced my z wave hub with the camera hub from Delaney, the combo pack offered, and have had no issues whatsoever since then and it has been several months. I have smoke alarms, lights, and plugs hooked to it that I can control from my phone and can also control via Alexa. Life is easy and my husband says the house is getting smarter than him. LOL

Where to begin. There is a lot going wrong with this lock. First there is alot of plastics on the inside. Plastics gears that lock and unlock the bolt. It's clunky and loud. Sometimes the thumb turn gets stuck and hard to turn. The batteries are dying every couple of months. And for the final nail in the coffin. The touch screen is the worst! You can only see the numbers at night! Sorry delaney but your selling a bad product!

I have had this lock since it was originally offered. It has been a workhorse. My kids use this to get in and out without any problem. The sleek design and the color matches the handle I have on my door. I am a pretty handy person and was able to put this in in about 15 minutes. Programming was easy to understand and the doing it was simple enough. My wife is happy now that my kids have a way in without having to keep up with a key.

My family is loving this smartlock! Convenient never having to use a key! We are able to unlock the door for one-time usage or if we forgot to give family a key. It makes life so much easier for us.
