SecureScreen feature makes it hard to guess a code
The SecureScreen feature requires all users to input two random numbers before entering the actual pincode which makes impossible to guess the pincode by smudges and fingerprints.

Con
No standalone application is available

Has a loud break-in alarm
If someone does try to break in, the device will sound a fairly loud alarm which should scare away any burglars.

Personal unlock codes
You can give out personal codes which will unlock the door, and you can have an unlimited number of these codes. However, if you don't have the optional wireless keypad ($79) each user will need to download the app and enter their code there. These codes can be configured to have a time duration where they will expire, or they can be permanent.

Con
Wi-Fi requires additional hardware
With just the Smart Lock itself, the range is limited to Bluetooth, which means you need to be physically close to the lock. To control your lock using Wi-Fi (range is unlimited as long as you have internet access), you will need to purchase additional hardware (August Connect which costs $79, or an Apple TV which costs $99). These act as an in-between device, using a bluetooth signal to communicate with the lock and using Wi-Fi to connect with your phone.

Doesn't change the outward appearance of your door
This smart lock is installed only on the inside of your door, and doesn't replace your existing lock. This means that you keep your current keys, and installation is a bit easier as you don't have to disassemble your door.

Con
Lacking extras
