With this lock, you can either control the lock directly via Bluetooth or with WiFi, using either the Yale Access App or August App. The newer Yale Assure Lock 2 (YRD410/YRD420/YRD430/YRD450) has a built-in Bluetooth radio and comes with a WiFi module. If you insert a WiFi module you can control the lock via the WiFi app (either the Yale Access App or August App works).You can't use any apps to directly connect to the lock, you use whatever app you can use to connect to your Z-wave hub, and control the lock that way. If you insert a Z-wave module, the only way to control the lock is via Z-wave.You can insert either a Z-wave module or WiFi module. Yale Assure Lock SL (YRD256) has no built-in wireless radio. Is there any reason I should consider Zigbee over Z-Wave?įor anyone who may come across this question in the future, I just got off the phone with Yale support and August support (which were both surprisingly helpful). that are all Z-Wave), so I'm looking for a Z-Wave lock, but I'm open to Zigbee if there are compelling advantages to going that road. At the moment my house is entirely Z-Wave (I've got a few smart switches, a few smart plugs, some door sensors, etc.the battery will last longer) than the WiFi version, is that accurate?

Or does the Bridge basically serve as a Z-Wave hub, so you only connect to one or the other? If I want to use the Connect WiFi Bridge, can the Hubitat Hub still connect to the lock via Z-Wave, or would it have to connect to the lock via WiFi? If WiFi, will that allow local control, or go via the August servers?.With the Yale WiFI lock, can you use local control of the lock directly from the Hubitat Hub over Bluetooth or WiFi, without needing access to the internet? Or will all communication between the Hubitat and the lock go via Internet?.With the Yale Z-Wave lock, can you use the August app to control the lock? Or would you be required to use the Hubitat app to control the lock?.The August Smart Lock Pro clearly states 'With HomeKit and Z-Wave built in, you can pair your lock to these existing smart home networks' and comes with a 'August Connect Wi-Fi Bridge'. From what I can tell, you can use the August app to control the WiFi version of the lock, but I can't tell if you can use the August app to control the Z-Wave version of the lock. If I'm understanding correctly, it will have either a Z-wave or WiFi module installed, you can't have both. The Yale Assure Lock can come with different modules, there is a WiFi + Bluetooth version of the lock and a separate Z-Wave version of the lock. I like the look of the Yale lock, and I like that it is keyless, so if the Assure Lock SL meets my criteria, that is likely what I'll go with. August Smart Lock Pro + Connect ( August Smart Lock Pro + Connect | Products | August Home).Yale Assure Lock SL with Z-Wave (YRD256-ZW2-619).I'm currently eyeing two different options: linked to my Google Home account (so I can control with my smart speakers).linked to my Hubitat Hub (for local control and automatons with my smart switches and door sensors), and.controllable by the August app (so I can grant access to my brother and father).I'd also prefer local-control without requiring WiFi or internet connection, but that isn't a deal breaker for me.I use Google Home/Google Assistant and have several Google Mini smart speakers.My brother currently has the August WiFi Smart Lock ( August Wi-Fi Smart Lock | Secure Wi-Fi Lock | August Home), so part of me is interested in getting a smart lock that will also work with the August app, as that will make it easier to give my parents and brother access to my house.I have the Hubitat Elevation Model C-7 Hub, and I'd like to make sure that whatever lock I get will work seamlessly with the hub.I have a few questions at the end of this post, but first some background: I'm looking to purchase a smart lock for my house and I'm trying to understand the landscape of options.
