Back in 2018 I added a pair of Kwikset 916 Z-Wave smart deadbolts to my home automation setup and they’ve been workhorses, devices we use every single day. They even survived my migration from ADT Pulse to HomeSeer. That being said, they were getting a little more frustrating to use, particularly because of the sluggish touchscreen and slow, noisy locking mechanism. Nothing major, but I’ve been on the lookout for more modern replacements.
I was hoping the new Kwikset Halo Select Plus WiFi/Matter-enabled smart locks would go on sale during Prime Days last month, but they didn’t so I went ahead, bit the bullet, and got two of them anyway.
