Yale 05/101200/SI - Linus Smart Lock - Silver - Keyless and Secure Door Lock

This fits onto the inside of the door and leaves a keyhole outside which is great for emergencies. I’ve been using it for a while with Apple HomeKit and it is so convenient not to have to look for my keys when I get home. My phone automatically unlocks the door when I get close. Easy to install and use either through the Yale app or the Apple home app.

This is a great device and works really well. However it’s not so good with Alexa as it asks for a PIN number every time I ask the door to be opened and she never understands the pin. The pin code should be a function that can be disabled. I have now removed the skill from Alexa as it works better with Apple HomeKit. Other than the Alexa issues it works really well with the added features from the WIFI Hub.

I'd been looking for a smart lock for some time, but don't trust them enough to lose the key. I always liked the conexis, but wanted a key. I did get an ultion, which uses a built in Dana lock, but it is an all in one and didn't fit my lever and lock fitting. Eventually tried this with the yale modular cylinder (as, again, my lock was a mm too short!) Installing the new cylinder was child's play and, after watching a fitting video on YouTube for the linus, adding this on was easy too. Setup was literally a couple of clicks in the app, wait a little for it to test connections, and your done. I don't use the auto lock function as there are two adults in the house and I don't want it locking everytime someone closes the door; but the auto unlocking works great. I go out of the area (about 200m) and as I enter, the app goes into polling mode, waiting for me to get in bluetooth distance and then jocks the door! If the door is already unlocked (someone in the house already) then it recognises this and doesn't try to unlock again. If you enter the area, but don't get close to the house (we live close to a supermarket and I drop in there on the way home usually), then the app recognises this and asks if you want to suspend the Bluetooth polling for a period. I bought the WiFi module separate on another auction site for the half the price after I was happy with the initial setup, and the extra bits are great - checking lock status; opening for my adult kids who turn up any time; Google assistant voice integration, etc. Also enables you to lock from the comfort of the car instead of getting drenched locking with the key or waiting for the Bluetooth connection (which admittedly takes 2-3 secs) 😉

Quite hard to put together as I was very close to calling a locksmith… However, after two hours and a lot of patience, I managed to get both the lock cylinder and smart lock installed. Couldn't be happier as it works flawlessly!

The lock stopped working just after a few months. It's still in warranty. However, Yale's customer support is non-existent. When you email them, no one responds. When you call them, you get told to email as the support staff are incompetent. I won't recommend Yale as a brand. Their products are grossly unreliable.

Very easy to install if you’ve got the exactly door and lock requirements. I had to modify some stuff i.e. the knob of the cylinder to fit the smart lock and make it work. Overall a good product so far! Happy with it.

It’s very slow, I must wait 1 minute to connect with the lock. It’s item for the house without wall, I thinking well be ok

20% of the time you think you locked the door only to find out it was unlocked when you return home. Keep in mind some door handles need to be lifted in order to lock (so it might not be as practical as you think). The app is very buggy and not at all polished. Absolutely not worth the money.

ممتاز لكن هناك مشكله في استهلاك البطاريه

Easy to install No need for door modifications. Only change the cylinder of the door. Good connection and functionality particularly with the automatic door opening and closing.

Es bastante fácil de instalar, aunque algo cara para lo que es( tenia antes una Sherlock S2 , que me costó 75 en su día y la he cambiado por esta, porque Sherlock dejo de tener soporte y ya no dejaba compartir llaves, por lo que se hacia inservible) con esta y el puente wifi ya ni siquiera hace falta compartir la llave puedes abrir a distancia. Esta es muchísimo más silenciosa incluso que la Sherlock que tenia y por lo general funciona correctamente salvo algún error puntual de no responder al desbloqueo, o el desbloqueo automático que he decidido quitar porque me detecta dos pisos más abajo de casa ( vivo en un edificio y se desbloquea cuando voy subiendo detecta el bluetooth) por lo que no me da tiempo a llegar abrir y me toca al final acabar sacando el móvil así que igual me da, y me da más confianza hacerlo yo mismo. Por lo demás de momento bastante bien, espero que tenga un buen soporte durante años por El precio que cuesta…

Bardzo dobry produkt który bardzo ułatwia codzienne życie.
