August Smart Lock Wi-Fi Silver
Score: 76/100
Schlage Encode Plus
Score: 79/100Rankings
The Schlage BE499WB CAM 622 Encode Plus delivers commercial-grade security with built-in Wi-Fi and support for up to 100 access codes. It lacks Bluetooth and offers only a single physical backup key, which may limit flexibility. It fits well for homeowners needing a reliable Wi-Fi deadbolt with extensive smart-home compatibility.
The August Wi-Fi Smart Lock (Silver) adds built-in Wi-Fi, DoorSense and voice-assistant control while preserving the original deadbolt. It lacks auto-lock and detailed battery-life information. Best for users who want a simple retrofit with remote access and don't need advanced automation.
