SwitchBot Lock Ultra

Powerful and Works With Home Assistant

I can’t believe the turning force that this lock has. My door is less-than-perfectly aligned, so other smart locks have struggled to lock. The Lock Ultra does it with confidence every time. I also love that I could set it up directly with Home Assistant without having to buy an extra hub or go through the Cloud. I did need a Bluetooth relay, but I already had one of those in place nearby this door. I have keypad locks from Kwikset on my other two exterior doors, which we never use the keypads on, and I’m seriously considering replacing those with Lock Ultras at some point too. All in all a great product, fair pricing and quick shipping. Installation was easy having replaced deadbolts before.

Great product!

I will say there needs to be an improvement with the installation instructions on the jimmy proof version. In the video they install the lock horizontally. I choose to do mine vertically. Doing it horizontally apparently has difficulty locating the magnet. That’s the other thing. I video with the magnet location needs to be made for the jimmy proof. It is unclear on how/where to install the magnet for this version of product. That aside, the product itself I love. Easy to use and relatively simple to install.

Good lock

So far so good. I like this lock and it wasn't difficult to install. I would recommend this lock.
