Meet the secure, tamper-proof smart lock from Nest and Yale. It’s keyless, so you can lock and unlock the door from anywhere with the Nest app.[1] Give people you trust a passcode instead of a key, and get alerts when they come and go. And lock the door with a tap. If you forget, the Nest x Yale Lock even reminds you.
Q: If I already have a nest thermostat will this work with the existing nest hub?
A: The lock comes with a nest connect which connects it to your WiFi network. You can control your lock and thermostat from the same hub or app on your phone.
Q: How long do the batteries last typically?
A: This is all dependent on the amount of use the Nest x Yale lock receives in the home, but should be expected to last roughly one year if not more.
Q: Will the lock work without internet?
A: Wi-Fi connection is necessary for the setup of your Nest × Yale Lock. Although it doesn’t connect directly to Wi-Fi, it uses Weave to connect to a Nest Connect or Nest Guard in your home. Your Connect or Guard will then connect to your Wi-Fi network and communicate with the Nest app. Once your Nest x Yale Lock is all set, you’ll still be able to unlock your door with the keypad if the Wi-Fi goes down, but you won’t be able to use the Nest app to control your lock or change settings. You also won’t get any notifications from the lock. Check this link for more info: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9251009
