Kwikset Aura
Score: 72/100
Ultraloq Bolt
Score: 92/100Rankings
The ULTRALOQ Bolt Fingerprint WiFi Smart Deadbolt offers robust ANSI Grade 1 security with seamless native Apple Home integration. It features built-in WiFi and Thread support, eliminating the need for a separate hub for remote access. The main trade-off is the lack of a Micro-USB backup port and reliance on 2.4GHz WiFi.
The Kwikset Aura is a Bluetooth-enabled deadbolt featuring SmartKey Security and support for up to 250 user codes. It lacks Wi-Fi and major smart home ecosystem integration, limiting its utility to local control. It is best suited for homeowners prioritizing high local security and code management over remote access.
