Nest X Yale Smart Door Lock
The smart door lock has revolutionized home automation. For instance, are you the person who tries to make one trip carrying all the groceries from the car to the kitchen? Instead of going back for multiple trips, you overload your arms with grocery bags struggling to walk up the stairs. You would rather risk breaking the glass of pasta, tripping, or tearing grocery bags then taking another trip. Then arriving at the door with 8 bags looped around each arm, the keys are your back pocket. What’s next?
The Nest X Yale Smart Door Lock provides a solution for multiple scenarios besides our grocery example. Simply type in the code or unlock the door from your smartphone. The smart door lock replaces the standard deadbolt lock and comes with voice and written instructions to make installation simple.
The Look and Feel
The Next Yale Smart Lock comes in oil-rubbed bronze, satin nickel, or polished brass with a touch keypad. On the inside of the door shows a two tone design with a panel covering the electronic board and batteries. The tamper-proof lock will alert you when batteries are low and will lock if you run out of battery. Then, you can quickly charge the lock with a standard 9 volt battery for your peace of mind and convenience.

The Smart Lock Installation
Installation can be time consuming for home home products so people would rather hire someone. Nest provides a voice automated walk through as you install the batteries.
The installation of the smart lock is relatively simple. Install the batteries and allow the voice prompt to carefully direct you on how to install the lock. Then download the Nest Application via smartphone, scan the bar-code, and create your master pin. However, you do need the Nest Connect device which is smart hub for an extra $30.
Like a majority of home automation devices, you will need the hub. Connect the hub to Wi-FI and you’re ready to go.
Replace Your Keys With a Smart Door Lock
The Nest X Yale Smart Door Lock is a supplement of carrying around house keys. Set schedules of when you’d like your door unlocked. Don’t worry about having to leave a key under the mat for your dog walker or friends who frequently stop by.
If those friends stop by a little too much enable privacy mode and lock the door from the inside, disabling the pin. Go into the application and set different pins for family and friends. Even, enable and disable pins at the touch of a few buttons. The customization features makes managing your airbnb easy with temporary access. It also allows an amazing amenity for people entering your property as a real estate agent. Say goodbye to the heavy lock box!
