The Obsidian touchscreen smart lock with home connect technology enables the lock to wirelessly communicate with other devices in home. The lock allows the user (through a web enabled device) to remotely check the door lock status, lock or unlock the door and receive notifications via email or text. The Obsidian is a key way less, low-profile, one-touch locking motorized deadbolt. With your personalized code, you can enter your home with the convenience of keyless entry and the LED illumination provides increased visibility. It features patented SecureScreen technology to prevent code detection from fingerprints on the touchscreen. Obsidian is easy to install, program and use, and operates on 4 aa batteries. This single cylinder deadbolt can be locked or unlocked by using the keypad or key from the outside as well as the turn button from the inside. The crisp, clean appearance of the Satin Nickel finish adds to the overall look of the product and brings a modern feel.

Consumer Reports

CR’s take: The Kwikset Obsidian 954OBNZW500 is the strongest smart lock you can buy, at least when it comes to its strength against brute-force attacks. In our tests, it receives an Excellent rating for drilling thanks to its keyless design, as well as high marks for kick-ins and lock picking. The only thing about this lock that might make some consumers consider other options is that it uses a special wireless network called Z-Wave. That means you’ll need to connect it to a smart home hub that supports Z-Wave devices, such as a Samsung SmartThings smart home hub, Hubitat smart home hub, or Ring Alarm system. Still, the lock offers a number of useful features, including a touch-screen keypad for PIN codes, an access log to track who comes and goes, and voice control via Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.

  Conclusion: get something with physical buttons, like the Kwikset SmartCode Contemporary Single Cylinder Touchpad Electronic Deadbolt

 This, like most electronic deadbolts, doesn't work with rechargeable batteries, because they don't provide enough oomph.  Product life: The mechanism started failing after about 3.5 years. I don't know how long these are supposed to last, but it eventually just stopped being able to grab the deadbolt and the motor would just whirr and grind

5 years. I don't know how long these are supposed to last, but it eventually just stopped being able to grab the deadbolt and the motor would just whirr and grind.  Conclusion: get something with physical buttons, like the Kwikset SmartCode Contemporary Single Cylinder Touchpad Electronic Deadbolt

Used the Kwikset Obsidian keyless deadbolt for 3.5 years. It looks great, but has a faulty touchscreen and ultimately the locking motor ended up failing on us. We ended up replacing it with a model that has physical buttons

Looks Great; Ultimately Frustrating

..go find your instruction manual. Hope you saved it! 2) You have to disassemble the interior side of the lock just to replace the batteries

 Even the plastic panel that is supposed to 'slide up" to let you add new codes is poorly designed. you have to have a screwdriver to get it to slide up, and that can lead to scratching of it's nice black shiny surface.  We were planning to buy another one. But I think I'll look for a different brand or at least a different design

 Our first set of batteries lasted only 4 months (which either means do not buy Amazon brand batteries, or I'm going to have to change the batteries 3 times a year). Here is what I learned when trying to change the batteries:  1) It's hard to figure out how to do it if you didn't install the lock. There is absolutely nothing intuitive in the product design that would let you know how to change the batteries. So step 1 is

 3) It's just a very poor design IMHO. It would not have been hard to design the product so that you can replace batteries without disassembling the interior portion of the lock. Even the plastic panel that is supposed to 'slide up" to let you add new codes is poorly designed. you have to have a screwdriver to get it to slide up, and that can lead to scratching of it's nice black shiny surface

Beautiful looking lock with very poor user design making battery replacement much harder than it needs to be.

  If the batteries failed you could not get in the house.  But with a battery backup you don't have that problem anymore.  Also there is a low battery alert to let you know when to replace batteries. The auto lock feature is a nice touch but I disabled it because I don't want to have to unlock the door every time I want to enter the house

Kwikset has always made a quality product and their customer service is excellent.   I currently use a Kwikset electronic deadbolt on all of my entry doors.  If the Obsidian is anything like the current Kwikset deadbolts I currently own then I know it will last a long time.

Wyze was born out of the idea of making great technology accessible to all. We started in 2017 from our office in Kirkland, WA, by introducing our first product to the world - Wyze Cam, a smart home camera that has all the features people want at a fraction of the price of other cameras out there. Wyze Cam is now the number one selling camera on all of , proving that people love awesome tech that anyone can afford. We have since taken that same philosophy and launched other smart home products including Wyze Bulb, Wyze Sense, Wyze Plug, and now Wyze Lock. Wyze Lock is our latest piece of smart home wizardry. This is a smart lock that that does what you expect, and really all that you need from a smart lock. You can control it remotely from your phone to let the dog walker in, or make sure it gets locked after you left on your vacation in such a rush. That’s not all this bad boy can do. Wyze Lock knows when you arrive home and automatically unlocks as you approach the door. Once inside, Wyze Lock’s built-in gyroscope detects when the door is closed and automatically locks behind you. It’s got all that and more. Like we said, all the tech you need, now at a price you can afford.

CR’s take: The Wyze Lock is the first smart lock from this budget smart home company, and it performs quite well in our tests. It rates a Very Good for remote operation and scores high in our convenience and security add-on evaluations. Its features include auto-locking and unlocking, an access log, electronic keys, an integrated door sensor, voice control via Amazon Alexa (Google Assistant integration is supposedly in the works, but it’s been that way for over a year), and an alarm to let you know if the door is left open after a set amount of time. If you’d like to use PINs with this lock, Wyze sells a separate wireless keypad for $20.

TechGearLab

The Wyze Lock is a solid budget-friendly smart lock that performs well in all the ways that matter. It's a great option for a standalone smart device or a first step into creating your smart home, as it comes with its own smart hub and integrates easily into the Wyze ecosystem of smart devices. If you already own an Alexa or Google Nest, this affordable lock pairs easily with them also. The Wyze app shows you an activity log of who has accessed your house, making it easy to feel in control of your space. As this lock replaces just the inside part of your deadbolt, you get to keep your same house key, ensuring that even if the batteries die while you're away, you can still get into your home. 
If, however, your home is already set up with Apple HomeKit or another Z-Wave hub, the Wyze Lock won't pair with it. While you can easily share access codes via email, there's currently no way to share them over text. And anyone looking to use the code you've sent them must first download and set up the Wyze app. The deadbolt of the Wyze Lock earns the lowest ANSI grade for security &mdash; though this grade, Grade 3, is widely considered to be adequate for most residential security. All in all, there's a lot we like about this all-inclusive, high-value smart lock from Wyze, making it a great choice for many people.

 The next thing was auto lock, and this worked well for me except for when I had it on a setting of locking immediately, because sometimes the door would partially close, and then the lock would try to lock right away and get jammed or lock before the door was fully closed. So all I would have to do is just change it to be one minute or later, and it worked fine. And you would probably want this setting anyway so you don't accidentally lock yourself out if you didn't have the keypad or your phone on you. I also tested the auto unlock feature, which is supposed to automatically unlock your door when you walk within about 16 feet of the lock, and unfortunately I couldn't get this feature to work for me

 I'm seriously running out of room to put all these gateways and bridges everywhere. Setup was easy, all you need is a Phillips screwdriver, and I had it installed in around 5 minutes. Alright, now I'm going to show you what it's like using the lock's features. First, opening and closing the lock from the Wyze app

 Hey what's up, this is Reed. The Wyze Lock just came out and it's an inexpensive smart lock with a lot of features. And I'm going to test out these features and see if they actually work, or are they just a little gimmicky? Some say Wyze cams create a backdoor for Chinese servers into your house. Well, I just installed a Wyze lock on my home's backdoor, so I'll be talking about Wyze and security at the end

 It's more batteries you have to replace and more screws you have to put in the wall. I think a keypad is necessary for a smart door lock, and I guess this is the best possible solution for this type of lock. For automations, you can add Wyze rules to have your cameras and sensors work with the lock. You can also use a rule to always lock your door at a certain time at night

 People like this style of lock because you can keep using the same house keys.

 However, if you have a cheap deadbolt on there, then you also keep the same vulnerabilities
