Score: 88/100Rankings
The Yale Smart Lock with Matter is a future-proof smart deadbolt featuring Matter over Thread connectivity for seamless integration with Google Home and other ecosystems. It offers excellent battery life and eco-friendly construction, though it requires a separate hub for remote access. It is ideal for Google Home users seeking interoperability and long battery performance without Wi-Fi dependency.
The LockStar S110BBL-F is a feature-rich keyless deadbolt offering multiple entry methods including fingerprint, FOBs, and keypad. Its standout reliability comes from the sensor-based auto-lock and fast fingerprint scanner, though remote access is hindered by the need for an optional gateway. It is best suited for families and rental properties that prioritize local convenience and physical backups over immediate remote connectivity.
