Matte Black Keyed Deadbolt Smart Lock with Google Matter, YRD510-MT1-BLK

After exchanging with a Yale Assure 2 and not being successful at integrating the Assure 2 with Google Home, I decided to go back and reinstall this product and successfully did so. What I found is that the manual did not address the various orientations by which the lock can be installed. Since I am the kind of person who wants to ensure the product works before putting it in place, I tested the product and even installed it in Google Home. This resulted in the motor rotating opposite the preferred direction. After receiving the Assure 2 lock, I could not integrate it with Google Home. So I went back to this Smart Lock, researched, reset it, and was able to make it work properly. Easy integration with Google Home. Oh, btw, there are 2 QR codes and you’ll know which one to use when you have the product on hand. Caution, do not power up until it is installed with the deadbolt because it will not automatically sense its orientation.

One of the most frustrating purchases I have ever made — borderline scam I am extremely disappointed with the Yale Smart Lock YRD 510. Nowhere — and I mean nowhere — in the product description, packaging, official website, or marketing material does it clearly state that this lock is only functional in the USA and Canada. I purchased this lock in good faith to install it in my country house in Colombia, assuming that a global brand like Yale would offer a product compatible with standard smart-home ecosystems worldwide. That assumption was a mistake. After installation, it has been completely impossible to pair the lock with Google Home or even properly set it up using Yale’s own application. The lock simply does not work as advertised outside the US/Canada region. This critical limitation is not disclosed in any clear or visible way before purchase. Had this restriction been clearly stated, I would never have bought this product. Selling a “smart” device that silently fails outside two countries — without explicit warnings — is unacceptable. At this price point, this feels misleading at best and an absolute rip-off at worst. Yale should either: • Clearly label this product as US/Canada only, or • Ensure true international compatibility for a brand that claims global reach. As it stands, I feel deceived and regret this purchase entirely. I do not recommend this lock to anyone outside the United States or Canada.

The poor earlier reviews were written before Google released several patches and a few missing features; the lock now works flawlessly using only the Google Home app. It is an improvement over the Nest x Yale lock in at least the following ways: - Built-in connectivity (if you have other Matter devices) so a separate nearby device is no longer required for Wi-Fi - A passcode limit of 250, significantly higher than the previous limit of 10 - The ability to unlock via voice with a Google speaker (it will ask you for your pin each time) I personally don't want the key hole so there is no way to get in without forced entry but it seems like most folks prefer that as a backup option to avoid getting locked out.

Installation is pretty straight forward. Build quality seems sturdy enough with a nice heft to it. It took me 40 mins to go step by step using the video instructions with verifying measurements for the door. Set up with the Google Home app could've been better. There's no prompt during set up to set your pin. If you try to use the Google Home app to unlock it before setting a pin, you’ll be greeted with an incorrect pin message. Too many failed attempts and it’ll temporarily lock you out. You’ll have to find the pin settings in the “Household & Access” part of the settings for the lock. You’ll be able to set a pin for each user of your household. Google dropped the ball on this crucial step of the process. Once the pin is set, it gives you an option to have Google Home app save the pin so you don’t have to enter it every time you unlock it from the app. Unfortunately, this did not work initially. I had to clear storage data from the Google Home app, uninstalled and reinstalled the app on my phone to get it to remember the pin. It comes with an Doorsense sensor to place next to the lock and lets you know if the door in the open or closed position in the Home app. There's no option for Doorsense notifications that I found, but it’s good to see whether the door is left open at a glance. Doorsense does require calibration which takes about 5 mins. There's 4 options for locking/unlocking. You can use a physical key (1 included), pin entry on the keypad, Google Home app, or using a voice command with the Google assistant. The assistant does ask you to say the pin out loud to lock/unlock, so keep that in mind if you have people around. Other features include auto locking after a certain period of time (currently only 30 secs to 2 mins) and a vacation mode, which disables the keypad when you're away. Since this is a Google Home preferred product, this will not work with the Yale app if you're using it with Google Home. Overall it's a good entry level Lock. I wished more options were included such as location proximity that locks or unlocks based on your location. Funny enough, that feature is advertised in the manual. Maybe in a future update. Once you get this lock up and running as it should, it’s great. Just make sure whatever Matter hub you’re using is within range. I’m currently using a Google 4K TV streamer as the matter hub.

No funciona en México, dado que no te permite registrarte. Dinero a la basura.

The lock doesn’t work. I cannot pair it with anything as it’s saying serial number not recognised by Yale app, Google home and also Apple home. Do not buy this!

Works well. Easily to install.

It doesn't work with Google home, at least not for me. Given the mixed reviews there seems to be a software issue with certain phones. Wasted so much time troubleshooting. But it works with Yale access app.
