Score: 76/100

Score: 78/100Rankings
The Schlage Connect Smart Deadbolt is a Z-Wave Plus-enabled lock offering touchscreen entry and broad smart home compatibility via a hub. It requires a separate hub for remote features, which adds to the initial setup complexity. It is ideal for residential users already invested in Z-Wave ecosystems or those needing Apple HomeKit support.
The August Home Smart Lock Pro + Connect is a versatile retrofit lock with broad smart-home ecosystem integration and reliable DoorSense technology. Its main trade-offs are the dependency on a separate Wi-Fi bridge and potential battery drain issues. It is best suited for renters, HOA-restricted homes, and multi-user households needing extensive smart home compatibility.
