SimpliSafe - Smart Lock + PIN Pad - Black

Hi Friends, please do not buy this lock. Installation took 5 min. Its been 3 hrs with simplisafe customer care to connect Lock to simplisafe keypad and hub. It started with software update followed by calibration error which could not be solved by customer care too. Read some blogs and most of them have similar issues. Looks like product was not tested before releasing it to customers. RETURNING to store.

easy to install convenient will thinking about getting one for my other door

Had to return found out you have to have a simply safe system to set up

I've wanted a smart lock for a while and saw that SimpliSafe came out with their version. First, the price is very low, if you already have the alarm system. The quality of materials and the look is very nice. Very easy to install. You do have to update the alarm software to show the lock as a device to add. Works perfectly. Auto lock feature insures your door locks if you forget. Easily view status and operate with the SimpliSafe app. For the price, it was a no brainer. SimpliSafe is a little behind some of the other brands as far as an extended number of complete home security devices. Hopefully the outdoor camera is next for them.

First off, people rating this low for their lack of understanding of how the product is supposed to work is beyond dumb. This thing is so easy to install and setup. I've installed multiple kwikset smart locks, and Argus locks. This is by far the simplest lock I've dealt with. I think I spent more time updating the keypad (which is required to add the lock to devices) than I did install the lock. For unlock/lock via app and push notifications for events you need to have the interactive plan. I took it as a given since most, if not all, of their devices work this way. But you do not need to be on the interactive plan for it to do the rest of the neat tricks like; Auto lock, Monitor door open and prevent auto lock if it is, disable security system if lock is opened via a code, lock when the system is armed, unlock if the system is disarmed. Almost all of these 'smart' functions are configurable. The design is very sleek and the pinpad buttons have a great tactile feel. Only thing I wish it didn't have is the Simplisafe logo (mine is black so it stands out) for a more stealth look. But I understand why they would do it

Very odd that you must subscribe for monthly monitoring if you want to lock/unlock your door with the app
