GearBrain has tested many smart locks and we are fans of Yale Assure smart locks. They are one of the most adaptable smart locks on the market because they work on multiple wireless protocols, like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Z-Wave and are easy to install. We also like how easy it is to change your Yale Assure smart lock from one wireless protocol connection to another. All you do is buy a wireless adapter for the wireless protocol (i.e. Zigbee or Z-Wave) and insert it into the back of your Yale Assure lock. No need to buy an entire lock.
