Looking to use voice commands to lock your door with Amazon Alexa? Simply pair the Kwikset wireless lock to the VeraPlus controller and then enable the Vera skill inside the Alexa app. Speak “Alexa, lock the front door” to your Amazon Echo or Dot, and Vera will lock the door. Cool part is you can add electronic switches, Z-Wave LED bulbs, remote control outlets and other devices to create groups in Alexa for automating certain routines you manually do every day, like turning the lights off and locking the doors when you go to bed at night.

This lock will typically have a label on the backplate of the unit that has the serial number and the model listed. Otherwise, the best method would be to take a picture of the front and back of the lock so that we can identify it this way.
- Q Can I unlock and lock remotely from my phone if I’m away from home? answer nowAsked by June 27, 2020 5:53 PMonA
If the lock is paired to a smart hub or service that supports mobile access, such as Vera, then you can certainly control the lock from any location!

The 916 is a Z-Wave enabled unit and is meant to pair with your existing smart hub such as Vera, Samsung SmartThings, or Wink. Without a smart hub, you will not have an active connection to the lock for remote control.

Standalone, this lock does not have the ability to keep a log of who entered the door at a certain time. If this unit is paired to a smart hub such as Vera or SmartThings, these hubs usually have an audit capability that will be able to display this information.

I love the smart key aspect of this. I had bought the other brand for my son and he can’t change the keys to match his other locks. Installation was pretty easy. The programing instructions were not as clear as they could be but i got through it. I have not programmed the auto lock yet. Im not sure i need that feature. I’ll probably be buying another one for my husbands shop. I’m a 68 year old woman and if i can install it you can too! 😂

Works with Vivint. Best price I could find. Shipped fast. Received in mint condition. Product worked flawlessly. Can’t complain. Just wish the website was better. It needs a lot of work, but trust me, from someone paranoid who researches the crap out of everything and everyone, you won’t be disappointed.

This product works great. It was easy to install. We have Kwikset locks in our new home. I have my lock connected through my Wink Hub 2 and can lock and unlock the door and see its status. SmartKey allows your existing Kwikset key to be used with the new lock. I’d buy the lock again, but if this lock had the capability to see which codes locked and unlocked the door, that would be nice. Would be even greater if codes could be set remotely.
