Ultraloq Bolt with Lever
Score: 92/100Rankings
The Ultraloq Bolt is a top-tier smart deadbolt featuring BHMA Grade 1 security and Matter-over-Thread connectivity for robust smart home integration. Its main trade-off is the limited fingerprint capacity and occasional app connectivity issues. It is best suited for tech-savvy users and Airbnb hosts who need versatile access methods and high security.
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.
