I installed the deadbolt in late November and it lasted until July without needing to be recharged, even through a winter of -40f temps.
69% liked the material durability, but 31% did not
After 13 months of use, the lock went offline.
71% appreciated the locking mechanism, while 29% didn't
The auto lock feature is not reliable. I tested it after installation and it worked perfectly. However, when I closed the door and waited, it did not lock after 2 minutes. I checked the app and it said unlocked, even though the auto lock feature was still enabled and set to 30 seconds. I locked it from the app and tested it again when I got home, but it still did not auto lock. I ran the lock calibration as a troubleshooting step and it seems to have worked. I tested it 3 times and it locked after about 30 seconds.

I had no issues connecting to wifi and setting it up.
I am having trouble connecting the device to Bluetooth.
I faced compatibility issues with the deadbolt after a low battery warning. It wouldn't connect to Wi-Fi anymore and I couldn't find the reason for this issue, but it was fixed somehow the next day after a lot of frustrating attempts.
