Score: 85/100Rankings
The Yale Assure Lock Touchscreen with Wi-Fi is a Grade 2 ANSI/BHMA smart lever lock featuring built-in Wi-Fi, fingerprint recognition, and touchscreen access.

It is best suited for tech-savvy homeowners seeking keyless entry without subscriptions and multi-user homes needing extensive code management.
The LockState RemoteLock OE-550L is a robust residential smart lever lock offering direct WiFi connectivity and extensive remote management features without a hub.
