Score: 88/100
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 Halo Select is a premium Wi-Fi and Matter-enabled deadbolt with high security ratings and extensive smart home integration. Its reliance on strong Wi-Fi signals and standard AA batteries are minor trade-offs for its robust feature set. It is ideal for tech-savvy homeowners seeking a hub-free solution with future-proof Matter support.
