What we recommend
Look for a lock with a long battery life
We strongly advise choosing a smart lock with an extended battery life. Opting for a lock that offers prolonged battery longevity guarantees continuous operation and reduces the frequency of battery replacements. The lock comes with Duracell batteries, and the battery life is reported to be good, lasting multiple weeks without issues.With the Enso Connect updated smart device dashboard, you can have full control over battery and disconnecting issues. Trust us for a seamless and hassle-free experience!
Push button vs touchscreen
At Enso Connect, we recommend the use of push buttons for their user-friendly design. With push buttons, guests can enter the access code effortlessly without any additional steps, ensuring a seamless experience. Touchscreens require to be activated by placing guest’s palm over the screen, causing confusion for those unfamiliar with the process. This is why we like Wyze Lock Keypad. It is a wireless, mountable keypad that communicates with Wyze Lock to unlock or lock your deadbolt with a code.
Key override is a good idea
When selecting a smart lock, we recommend the ones that incorporate a keyhole as a backup feature. This will ensure that you’re prepared for any Wi-Fi outages or battery issues. An old school keyhole option guarantees an alternative method of access, unaffected by technological glitches. What’s great in WYZE lock, is that it fits your existing deadbolt.
