- The Schlage Encode Plus is a first-of-its-kind! Not only is it the first smart lock with THREAD, but it's also the first smart lock in the USA with Apple HomeKey! geni.us/Schlag... (Amazon affiliate link) Apple HomeKey allows you to use your phone or your Apple watch to unlock the door simply by holding it up near the lock. It's so simple but so cool!
FYI: the video was produced around September 2022 but not released on TH-cam due to limited supply. It is now more available. Although many sellers are price gouging, so beware.
PRODUCT UPDATE: Schlage has addressed the Battery life, and it has improved greatly and lasts around the advertised time frame, obviously depending on personal use.

![[1514] Schlage’s “100% Pick-Proof” Smart Lock (LOL)](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/mGR3h6KTntc/mqdefault.jpg)
*FYI:* the video was produced around September 2022 but not released on TH-cam due to limited supply. It is now more available. Although many sellers are price gouging, so beware.
*PRODUCT UPDATE:* Schlage has addressed the Battery life, and it has improved greatly and lasts around the advertised time frame, obviously depending on personal use.
This is still my go to lock, we’re getting 6+ months even in the cold now
Is its proximity to a wifi source a possible reason for bad battery life? That is, if it were closer to a wifi router, would that improve the battery life?
No, the access point is only about 10 feet away. But please read the video description or pin comment for product updates.
Do you need Schlage app and apple home app both to be able to use All features?
Your battery lasts for 2 months? I have the previous model of schlage just the regular pin pad not a smart lock. My battery lasts for 8 months? Maybe I don't really use it ofen but the battery lasts for so long. How often do you use your lock? I wonder if that has to do with it
read video description or pin comment.
Connected to HomeKit - does it update HomeKit status when you manually lock/unlock with the door knob?
Yes, and with notifications on, you get notified too.
Biggest complain about this lock is the keypad does not light up enough to see the numbers well. I simply input my code based on muscle memory but you can’t see a damn thing.
Depending on where it’s installed, this is actually a safety feature. Imagine illuminating to everyone near & far the numbers as you tap…
To illuminate the keypad you can press the house icon or the lock icon on the lower left or right hand side for it to light up before entering your code
Can someone scan your home key while in use?
How do you add another IPhone to this lock with home key?
Within the app
Need Help on letting all family members use their phone or apple watch to open, everytime I set mine up and try to set other members it cancels mine. also is all the controls done with the home app or schlage app? Thank you sorry I hope you can help.
How do i get in if i dont have my phone or watch?
there is a number pad you can press your code in
@@kqxx Huge difference, makes it must better, u should add that to the video, thanks
@@WSAONE Yeah I agree. Not everyone has a phone or watch to unlock. Usually most smart lock have a pinpad function. It's pretty standard
@@kqxx I have the Schlage Encode, just not the plus and with mine you can see the keys, I am happy to know the Plus has them as well.
How do I change the entry code after I have factory reset it
I just installed mine about a month ago and I just checked my battery life and I am a 94%. Yes I am up on Thread at this pace I should get 6-8 months out of the batteries. My Schlage Sense average about 9-10 months and really started to go when it got super cold. Not sure why you are only getting 2 months.
Thanks for watch. Your proubally didn't see the notes or the pin comment but this video is kinda old although newly released to this channel. Schlage has update something and the battery life is much better now. Thanks again for watching.
I only get 2 months out of mine too. It's awful!
Can you please provide a link to re-keying kit.
Yep, this is the kit I bought and use. geni.us/SchlageRekeyKit (Amazon Affilaite Link) It doesn't come with a case but I linked the case in the description plus an end cap removal tool thats not required but makes it easier to get the end cap and tail off the cylinder. A pin or screw driver also works but takes a little longer.
Do you have to purchase the home kit for it to work with the phone?
HomeKit is a free app that runs only on Apple devices.
Yes, kind of. You need an Apple TV in order for HomeKit to work.
I have the original Schlage encode. The number lights went out. Any issues with the encode plus of the number lights not working?
is there battery on there? maybe there's not enough batteries
I'd take the 2 months - My August lock gets 6 weeks tops
Wow
I don’t know what’s up with yours, but I’ve had mine since July 2022 and it’s battery has only been
replaced once?
See the pin message! Out of curiousity, what system do you use? Apple, Alexa, Google?
@@ModernDayReviews 🍎
@@ModernDayReviews Apple. Out of the two I think they’re a little bit better with privacy.
My Schlage connect with Z-wave plus last about 1year with Duracell Battery's , 2 months is just ridiculous .
I'm curious if maybe he was using rechargeables and that's what caused a shorter battery life?
So this doesn't work if you don't have a homepod? I don't see that in the description of the product on their site. It is already close to $80 more than the previous version, so If I want it I have to now buy an $80 homepod to be able to lock/unlock quickly with my phone/watch? ):
A homepod, homepod mini, or ATV is for automations and remote access in HomeKit over thread. You can still use Apple Home Key without one though and HomeKit works on your phone when within Bluetooth range of the lock. This also works over WiFi for Alexa, Google & the native Schlage app, but like I said in the video, this is a lock your paying extra for Apple Home Key.
Is there a way to require FaceID before opening HomeKey?
Without Express Mode on, you'll have to use FaceID or Passcode
Well, the battery depends on how much you use it
Battery life - hell no
Did you read the video description and the pinned comment?
Just use a lock and key , this only useful if you feel that you are being followed or live in a really bad neighborhood.
I had a kid who constantly lost her key (ADHD) when we were in our apartment. When I bought my house years ago, I got a Z-Wave Schlage that worked with SmartThings. I didn’t give her a key, just a code, but I love it. It’s handy being able to unlock it with my phone if I’ve got a bunch of stuff to bring in like groceries. I’ve also got ADHD, so if I’m distracted when I’m leaving, it’s nice to be able to check the app to see if my door’s locked. Also, if you have tradespeople that need to come in, you can unlock the door remotely or give them a code and deactivate it when they’re done. Some locks will allow you to put time parameters on when the codes are active.
If I feel like I’m being followed, I’m not going to lead them home. If you need to get in your house quickly, NFC is not the way to go. Open the app and use WiFi as you’re walking up or in your car. Seconds can matter.
