Important Note: When I did this video, I had intended/assumed based on my title wording that the audience would be primarily people who either already had a SmartThings base system in place, or were considering going that route. But if you're not already familiar with the SmartThings home automation environment, you many not be aware that at the heart of this system is the SmartThings Hub, which is the master controller for all the devices you add to your SmartThings configuration. This is why I included links to the SmartThings Home Kit and the Samsung Smart Home webpage for additional information. This Smartlock is not really intended to be a standalone device (though it can be if all you want to do is use the keypad for keyless entry...but you won't have access to any of the automation options I demonstrated). I hope this clears up any confusion out there.
I know this is old but how do I add multiple codes in Smart Things? I have rentals and MiCasa Verde allowed me to add up to 32 codes and set expiration days. Can Smart Things do any of this?
Battery Life note: I just today replaced the 4 AA batteries after getting a low battery notification. So the original batteries lasted almost 1 year under what I'd call moderate use. Not bad!
I know this is an old video, but what is the cheapest way I can get this to be a "smart" lock? I didn't read the box well enough and thought it had a built in interface or an app to download. Kind of feel like I just spent a ton of money to buy a simple key pad deadbolt. I'm not planning on doing any other automation. I just want to be able to lock and unlock from anywhere.
With this particular type of lock, a hub is required for any remote control or scheduling functions. Alexa by itself is not sufficient....it just adds voice control integration to the lock through the hub. You can buy smart locks that don't require the hub since they can connect directly to wifi and can be Alexa voice controlled, but they also cost alot more as a result.
@@raghavendravaranasi7909 This is the hub that is basically the successor to the Samsung SmartThings hub (since Samsung decided to stop producing hardware and focus on the software): amzn.to/31Ccibc It is the Aeotec Smart Home Hub.
Here's a version that's basically the same thing I'm demonstrating, only without the automation integration: amzn.to/38qpgdp Or, probably more like what you are asking for, here's another one that is wi-fi connected and does have automation options, but doesn't require a 3rd party hub: amzn.to/2LuENzQ (also notice the price is going to be significantly higher on these kinds of locks). Hope that helps!
Thank you for a detailed video. Quick Question: Can we automate to lock and unlock the door when the configured mobile is near the smart lock? if yes, could you please throw some light on it.
This Kwikset 888 I show in this video does require a smart hub connection in order to remote control it (but then you can control it from anywhere). To do what you're asking, you'll need a 'wifi' connected smart lock that does not require a smart hub. They're a bit more expensive, but something like the Kwikset 99390-001 would be what you want to look for.
Not sure what your long term experience is with those? I’ve owned three, all purchased from Amazon. Two of the three have failed secondary to moisture and rust in the battery compartment. High quality Energizer batteries used. The two that failed lasted less than a year.
Yeah, this particular model is super noisy I think. I also now have an Ultraloq which I absolutely love: th-cam.com/video/I5VDATDwsrc/w-d-xo.html Super quiet...way more functionality.
Thanks for the kind words! I'm doing another Smart Lock review now that should be out in a few days. It's basically the lock I WISHED I had bought the first time (but I couldn't have since it is just hitting the market now). :P
Can I add multiple entry codes thru the SmartThings app? I want to add one for my housekeeper and exterminator so I know if and when either one of these come in the house. I could only figure out how to set up two of them. Is there a way to add more?
This Quickset lock does allow you to add several codes (up to like 8 I think? I'd have to check the manual) - but you can't do it through the SmartThings app- -you have to program them from the physical lock. I just got a new lock in which I'm starting to work on reviewing today that will definitely allow you to do that from the app, as well as add time/date constraints to access. It's very cool. Will hopefully have that up in 4 or 5 days.
I just looked at the manual for the 914 and from what I can tell, it would require a Z-wave compatible smart home controller in order to remotely control it from your phone.
Yeah - sorry. I guess that might not be entirely clear if you're not already familiar with the SmartThings system. I just pinned a comment with further explanation as I certainly don't want to mislead anyone. Thanks.
yeah - looks like a lot of them got a bit more expensive. Here's a Yale version for $150 that actually down in price - looks a bit more premium than the Kwikset. amzn.to/3dE7fLh
This one doesn't have it's own app. You'd use the SmartThings app to control it. Here's one that has a TON more features, including it's own full-featured app: th-cam.com/video/I5VDATDwsrc/w-d-xo.html
@@nikeshreddy5356 For the Kwikset in this video, you definitely need the Hub. For the UltraLoq I linked for you, you can use a hub (for max functionality), but it also can operate without a hub and just use the app - but you won't get remote unlock/lock capability since you'd have to be within Bluetooth range to control it via the app.

I went and got a Halo home depot so much help that I wasted all day on it. The one I had used RF, not blue tooth or WIFI
We need a hub to connect this device
It says I need a hub to connect this device. What is a hub
@SickK8GSXR600 this is what you're looking for: amzn.to/3TDaeIl

What brand battery did you use?

I like your instructions they are pretty straightforward very easy
Nice video. How do you set up a smart things/aeotech hub on smart things app?
I have same as you and can’t get it find them kwikset 888 door lock. Did yuu have any luck????
It saying I need a hub device but I have a Alexa will that work???

Do l need a hub to connect it to t he wifi?
Yes. You'll need an automation hub of some kind that supports Z-Wave devices.
@@ReeWrayOutdoors can you please suggest compatible Hubs as I bought some but they are not recognizing this lock.
@@raghavendravaranasi7909 This is the hub that is basically the successor to the Samsung SmartThings hub (since Samsung decided to stop producing hardware and focus on the software): amzn.to/31Ccibc It is the Aeotec Smart Home Hub.
Couldn’t do it on mine i need a hub .
do you know of any smart door lock that works with smartthings but doesn't require a hub?
Here's a version that's basically the same thing I'm demonstrating, only without the automation integration: amzn.to/38qpgdp Or, probably more like what you are asking for, here's another one that is wi-fi connected and does have automation options, but doesn't require a 3rd party hub: amzn.to/2LuENzQ (also notice the price is going to be significantly higher on these kinds of locks).

Smartthings is a hub? I don't understand your question.

If I'm in NC and I want to control my lock or set a new code on a door in VA what do I need if all I have is wifi? And is this lock good for that?
Do I need a hub

Mine is still doing fine. Although, I will say that I much prefer the U-Bolt lock I have from U-Tec. th-cam.com/video/I5VDATDwsrc/w-d-xo.html
Its noisy compare to the one I have witch is a different Kwikset model.
Yeah, this particular model is super noisy I think. I also now have an Ultraloq which I absolutely love: th-cam.com/video/I5VDATDwsrc/w-d-xo.html Super quiet...way more functionality.
Its asking for hub now.
mee too

Can some show me how to pair iPhone to Kwikset smart code 914.No security control just to my phone, so I can use it to lock

I tried it and it says I need smarthub????
Yeah - sorry. I guess that might not be entirely clear if you're not already familiar with the SmartThings system. I just pinned a comment with further explanation as I certainly don't want to mislead anyone. Thanks.
Well the word got out. It's $137 now
