Schlage Encode Plus
Score: 92/100Rankings

The Schlage Encode Plus is a premium Wi-Fi deadbolt featuring built-in connectivity for remote control via the Schlage Home app without requiring a hub. It stands out with Apple Home Keys support for NFC tap-to-unlock on iPhone and Apple Watch, alongside robust BHMA AAA security certification and 128-bit AES encryption. It is ideal for Apple users seeking hub-free Wi-Fi deadbolts with NFC tap access.

The Schlage Connect Smart Deadbolt is a reliable Z-Wave-enabled deadbolt featuring a touchscreen keypad, built-in alarm, and broad voice assistant compatibility. Its main drawback is the dependency on a Z-Wave hub for remote features and the lack of specified auto-lock functionality. It is best suited for residential users with Z-Wave hubs who value built-in security alarms and easy installation.
