Level Lock+ (Wi-Fi) – Previous Model (Satin Nickel)

When I first saw these I was skeptical of the company, its features, and everything about it as I wasnt sure they would live up to the hype or their advertising but these exceeded my expectations by a mile (and then some). First off, these are some of the simplest, most elegant smart locks Ive ever seen. Ive used the August smart locks in the past, and recently even the newer Aqara ones but these are SO much better. You pay a small premium for these over the other ones I mentioned but its well worth it for how much better these are. Although the aforementioned ones meet different needs for different people, I think these ones are for those that want to maximize functionality while keeping aesthetics intact. The others are too bulky and take up way more room than they should and while the August ones are much quicker to install, and the Aqara has a keypad integrated, these just look so much better that its almost not even worth considering the other options. Home Keys with my phone or watch work SUPER quick and the lock has NEVER been disconnected or unreachable in the home app. Its super simple to share access with other people and the installation is very straightforward (as long as you dont have messed up door jambs like I did). The only issue Ive ever had with these is that it sometimes says its jammed if you haven't fully turned the paddle all the way over. Which to be honest isn't even the lock's fault but sometimes its so close to being fully turned its strange to see it consider it to be jammed. Only other gripe I have with it is that the battery is an odd size. This honestly couldn't have been solved in any other way on their part but an option to somehow hardwire these would be great. So far the battery life has been excellent, its been installed for about 6 months now but I am curious to see how these will fare compared to other locks Ive had in the past.

This thing left me completely locked out of my home. The install seemed easy at first. It took a little bit to get home keys working OK. When home keys worked, it was nice... however the home key experience was extremely erratic. It only worked ~50% of the time on my watch and iPhone, and it NEVER worked properly on my wife's watch and iPhone after I shared the device with her. The physical key was hard to get out of the lock as well - it stuck really bad. But the real kicker was that when I came home the next day, NOTHING worked. NFC didn't work - the app didn't work via BLE - and even the physical key didn't work... the entire cylinder was frozen. I had to use another door to get in, and I had to remove the lock completely. A slight shift in the lock from use had made it so the bolt and the locking mechanism had come apart. If you want to risk being locked out and having a ton of frustration, this lock is for you. If you want a real electronoic lock, stick with the bigger names.

I love these devices!! The Level Lock+ with the Matter firmware update has been a great addition to my home. As someone who has meticulously built a smart home ecosystem, I am very selective about the products I integrate, and I must say, this lock has exceeded my expectations. The Level Lock+ performs seamlessly within both Amazon Alexa and Apple Home ecosystems, including Apple Home Key. Its sleek and modern design, without the bulky external smart hardware and button keypad, sets it apart from other products that often look dated and cheap. Not only is it visually appealing, but the lock's strength and security are also top-notch. The ANSI Grade 1/A rating gives me peace of mind knowing my entryways are more secure compared to the conventional bolt locks I replaced. Installation was a breeze! The provided hardware fits perfectly into predrilled doorframes, although it's worth noting that the bolt bore size is larger than standard locks, which aligns with the Grade 1/A rating. Setting up the lock within my smart ecosystem was straightforward. Although I encountered a few hiccups while connecting to the second ecosystem, the Level Home Experts on the Customer Support team were incredibly engaging and knowledgeable. A special shout-out to Ruth and Courtney for their exceptional support. This an outstanding product that has enhanced my smart home experience and home security environment. If you are future proofing your home ecosystem with MoT, you will appreciate this product.

This is the second time I’ve purchased level locks+ and I couldn’t be happier. The locks work great via blue tooth in the app and also via Apple HomeKit which is extremely useful. I like that you can get the same tech features of other smart locks without the bulky appearance. The installation was quick and easy and I like that they provide multiple cap lengths depending on the way your current deadbolt is installed. The lock is a bit pricier compared to other smart home locks, but it’s worth it to me for the appearance and features. You can hear the locks when they open/close which is consistent with other locks, so I opt to turn the sound feature off to help preserve the battery. Also, they created these locks with future tech in mind and are willing to provide a Matter firmware update upon request which will allow you to control the locks from whichever ecosystem you prefer -or multiple if you want (Apple HomeKit, Google Home, etc). They do currently sell the locks with Matter already installed, however, those do not come in a chrome finish which is why I had to buy these and request the update. They responded quickly and followed up to ensure the locks were working before closing the case which I appreciate. All in all, they are great locks. I love them so much that I’ve now purchased 2 additional locks for another property bringing my total to 6! They get an extra bonus because they provide key fobs that allow you to control multiple locks at the same or multiple properties which is a dream for streamlining property management or not wanting to keep up with a ton of keys or codes if you own multiple properties. That is a sweet cherry on top!

The Level Lock+ Smart Lock with Apple Home Keys offers a seamless Apple Home Kit experience and the added convenience of NFC tags. First and foremost, the Level Lock+ is one of the best Apple Home Kit devices I've ever owned. It integrates almost flawlessly with the Home app, providing a straightforward toggle for locking and unlocking. The ease of use is impressive, and it seamlessly becomes a part of your smart home ecosystem quicker than it takes to install the lock, which isn't long at all. Installation was a breeze. I got to move the lock from my garage door and to the main door one it got the seal of approval, and the process was as simple and smooth as setting it up for the first time. This hassle-free installation showcases the thoughtfulness in the design and user experience of the Level Lock+. Electromagnets are always cool. One feature that pleasantly surprised me was the inclusion of NFC tags for key access. Initially, I overlooked this aspect when purchasing the device, but it turned out to be a game-changer. While the Home Kit functionality works wonderfully, having an NFC tag on my key ring provides unparalleled convenience. I no longer need to fumble with my phone to unlock the door; a quick tap of the NFC tag does the job seamlessly. However, I must emphasize that the Home Kit functionality remains amazing and offers a reliable alternative. Negatives: The only downside I encountered was with the Wallet App key integration. Despite setting it up correctly, I couldn't get the Wallet App key to work as efficiently as the NFC cards included with the device. It's possible that I made a mistake during the setup process, but I found the NFC tags on my key ring to be faster and more efficient for everyday use. In conclusion, the Level Lock+ Smart Lock with Apple Home Keys is an impressive addition to any smart home setup. Its seamless integration with the Apple Home Kit makes it a joy to use, and the NFC tags provide unparalleled convenience when accessing your home. The installation process was hassle-free, reflecting the attention to detail in the design. While I had a minor issue with the Wallet App key, the overall performance and functionality of the lock make it a worthy investment. If you're looking for a smart lock that combines excellent Apple Home Kit compatibility with the added convenience of NFC access, the Level Lock+ is an excellent choice. It has certainly made my daily routines smoother and more enjoyable, and I'm confident it will do the same for you!

Level Lock + is extremely easy to install. I replaced my existing deadbolt with this product so that I could access the garage man door with my iPhone and iWatch. The Level Lock + has a few options to operate it as it can also be unlocked with the app, included key or fob. During setup, there are a few options, including: auto lock and auto unlock. for now, I would rather lock and unlock it myself even though I can check in the app if it is locked or unlocked. The lock is built very well and made of solid materials. It consists of four main parts with different strike plate options. The installation kit is neatly packaged to include all the screws, parts, and a couple of options for the length of the bolt and strike plate. It connects via Bluetooth and the setup with the app was quick and easy. The lock set includes two (2) key fobs and two (2) actual keys. The fob work great, was easy to set up, and can be assigned. The fobs can be turned on and off in the app. The lock can be set up to be part of Apple Home which allows your iPhone connect to the lock and lock/unlock with apple idevice ease. It also works with newer Apple Watches. In addition to Apple Home, the lock also works with Siri commands, Google Home, Ring, and Alexa. It can be set up to work with Apple or Android phone devices. All in all, great lock. Great features.

The Level lock is a fantastic idea: easy access to your home using just your device is a worthy goal, especially if there is no bulky external hardware to make it evident that this is an electronic lock. Unfortunately it's simply not ready for prime time. I installed my lock several months ago, and it worked ok for a little while. I would get error messages occasionally, and then it started eating batteries way too fast. I contacted customer support and was advised that the problem lay with the alignment of the lock within the door, or with the pressure exerted by the weather stripping between the door and the frame against the lock. Well, there's not much I can do about the holes that are already drilled in my door (though I did chisel them out a little bit to make sure of a smooth entry of the bolt), and there's not much I can do about weather stripping. Weather stripping is essential to doors and windows to keep bugs out and to keep heating and cooling bills down. per Level's customer support: "Weatherstripping typically creates a tight seal when the door is closed, exerting pressure against the door frame. The thick weather stripping on the right side of the image suggests that when the door is closed, it creates additional pressure against the door frame." Well that's the job of weather stripping. It's supposed to make a tight seal, or else it's not effective, is it? My guess is that the sleek design of the Level lock is the source of its problems. It's powered by a tiny (and expensive!!!) 3V battery that is actually inside the hollow bolt of the lock. That battery is way too weak to overcome the natural friction caused by a tight-fitting door seal! Think about it - do you want a tight door seal between the cozy inside of your house and the bugs, pollution, and extreme temperatures of the outside? I'd submit that if your Level lock is working well, then your door is not sealed properly, and you need to invest in some quality weatherstripping. Your power bills will thank you! It's back to a quality manual lock for me. This tech is not mature enough for home use.

I had a very positive experience with the Level Lock+ and Levels technical support department. The lock had two biggest selling points. One, that it does not present as a smart lock. And second, it supports Apple Home Key. Usually, I don’t purchase bluetooth-only smart devices because of the limited communication distance. Also, the lock’s negative reviews curbed my enthusiasm about the product. However, I held out hope for the lock to be updated for Matter and Thread support. And once Level announced the rollout of Matter and Thread, I purchased the lock. But it arrived without the upgraded firmware for Matter and Thread support. And although my HomeKit hub is not within the recommended range of the lock, I was still able to successfully configure the bluetooth-only lock and add it to HomeKit. There was no issue using my preferred method of entry, my Apple Watch using Home Key. While there was some noticeable latency, the lock still operated as designed. But the firmware update to enable Thread support greatly improved the responsiveness of the lock as it was able to communicate via the other Thread devices in my home. The only downside is that I am unable to change lock settings when away from home. But this does not change my view of this product. I have been very happy with my purchase of the Level Lock+. It has been very useful and reliable. I ask only that Level changes how it presents battery life. I would like the battery life to be reported in percentages. And to be given the option to configure when and how often to be notified of battery health.

That’s all that matters to me when I look for the most unsmarthome looking device

Funciona al 100% yo y mi familia (4) lo utilizamos con productos Apple y funciona muy bien, la app se ve bien pero la verdad no la utilizo, utilizo home. Recomendado
