Score: 88/100
Kwikset Halo Select
Score: 88/100Rankings
The Yale Matte Black Keyed Deadbolt Smart Lock with Google Matter features Matter over Thread technology for cross-platform smart home integration and long battery life. It requires a separate Matter-enabled hub for remote access and lacks biometric scanning, which may be a drawback for some users. Ideal for Google Home and Nest users seeking Matter-compatible keyless entry.
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.
