Super Slick and Truly Apple HomeKit Compatible (with limits)
PROS:First, I’ve read many, many articles, reviews and viewed twice as many videos searching for the best Apple HomeKit compatible smart lock. I did my homework.Bingo – Schlage Encode Plus kept coming up as the one to purchase. The “Plus” means it Apple HomeKit compatible. I bought two. I agree hands down I made the correct purchase. They have worked seamlessly from install to setup. It took longer to install (15 minutes changing out hardware, etc) than to connect to HomeKit (2 minutes). Neither was complicated or frustrating! The connectivity has been seamless. I had a need to set up temporary Codes for others including limits to what days and hours, expiration date, etc. and when miles away from home lock or unlock the door, all done easily and successfully through HomeKit App.Schlage has a wealth of information on install and setting up and connecting to HomeKit. Start first with downloading the Schlage App. Also, they have great interactive instructions available walking you through step by step. All this makes for a successful install and operation.CONS:As for features, the only downside is getting geofence capabilities to work seamlessly in HomeKit and this appears to be because of security protections with HomeKit. Overkill, let the user decide. There is no information out there about this. The focus seems to be tap your phone or watch to lock/unlock while you are standing there (can also use Siri inside, etc) but NOT on setting up Scenes and Automations which is the weak link. When set up in Scenes with my other items, lamps, etc. nothing worked properly with Automation automatically due to the “alert” that pops up on iPhone screen asking if you want to execute the Automation. For example, pulling into or out of the garage and driveway “Scene” for lock or unlock Schlage locks, turn on or off lights, etc. I have to confirm execution of Scene on my iPhone pop up notification! Bummer. I had to remove the locks from the “Scene” and all was back to normal. An alert still pops up for the locks asking to confirm. This needs improvement holistically. I’m still seeking solutions and I’m sticking with my purchases.Also, Schlage only includes one key with the lock. At this price point, two keys would be appropriate.UPDATE: 08-10-2025: Through a Siri command on my phone or watch and also via CarPlay, I’m able to lock and unlock the door(s) upon leaving and/or returning home, pulling into or out of the driveway, etc. Though I don’t consider this HomeKit Automation, it’s a work around. I’m still satisfied with my purchase.

Best Lock on the Market
The Schlage BE499WB CEN 622 Encode Plus WiFi Deadbolt Smart Lock is a fantastic upgrade for my home security. The Apple Home Key integration is seamless, and I love being able to unlock my door with just a tap of my iPhone or Apple Watch. The keyless entry is super convenient, and the sleek matte black finish gives it a modern look that fits perfectly with my home’s style.Installation was pretty straightforward, and I was able to connect it to my home WiFi without any issues. The lock works reliably with Apple HomeKit, and I’ve set up automations to lock the door at night and when I leave the house. The ability to create and manage access codes for family members or guests is also a great feature, and the lock provides notifications when it’s locked or unlocked, so I can always keep track of what’s happening.The build quality feels robust, and the Century Trim design adds a sleek, minimalist appearance. I’ve used the lock in various weather conditions, and so far, it’s held up great.If you’re looking for a smart lock that integrates with Apple Home and offers both convenience and security, I highly recommend this one. It’s a little pricey, but the features and reliability make it well worth the investment.I loved being able to use my iPhone and Apple Watch to unlock the front door. Worth the money if you walk your dog or take your kids outside and want a simple way in and out.

Decent lock with terrible battery life
I have a couple other older Schlage smart locks. They look nice and work fairly well. This one adds NFC touch unlock which is great when my hands are full, I can just tap my watch to it to lock/unlock.I don’t like the keypad as much as the earlier models, it seems to lack something.The battery situation is the biggest drawback but also a slight improvement. It eats through batteries at twice the rate (or higher, maybe 3x) than the other locks, which go at least a year between changes.They did improve the battery bay, the last one had a nine volt connector on a super thin cable that breaks really easy…fortunately I found a replacement battery holder on amazon for cheap. this one connects by inserting, no cable connection needed, so at least that help (considering how often it needs batteries this would have been a real problem likely)The Schlage app is uneven. I can’t seem to find a way to set access codes to multiple locks at once, so I have to connect, wait, add the name and the code, wait, repeat with the other locks.

The lock looks elegant and feels premium quality. It uses NFC to set up on the iPhone Home App, making the setup process easy and error-free. I thought the lock uses WiFi for connection but my router-connected device list doesn’t list the lock, making me feel the lock is offline. However, everything still works well. So I searched it up online and realized that it uses Thread for HomeKit integration YAY! I have Eve products for home automation and the Eve app shows the lock under the Thread network. Additionally, the Home Key express mode works like a charm!

Me encanta esta cerradura. Es muy confiable. Asegurate de que se conecte a thread si la vas a usar con un hub de Apple. Para ello has el setup sin usar la app de Schlage, algo que pocos mencionan es que debes de reiniciar tu celular al finalizar el setup para que la cerradura se conecte por thread. Para validar que si este conectada por Matter hay varias apps como Eve Matter. Usando thread dura mucho la bateria y la reaccion es instantánea usando home key.

It worked for 6 months – bought it in Feb 2025. Now the touchscreen will randomly not work and i have to remove the battery pack and reinsert to get it working. No warning as to when it will fail. My previous Schalge touchscreen lasted more than 10 years. Total disappointment as the return period is over and no warranty from Amazon. I just saw other 1 star reviews who have the same problem. AMAZON should respond to this.
