The NFC tag option with the Touch Edition saves you from having to hand out keys-and potentially rekey the lock down the road-but it’s a tough sell to ask for an extra $80 for the feature. With geofencing turned on, you don’t need to do anything at all to open the door-you don’t even need to touch the lock. Chances are you already have your phone in hand as you approach your front door, at which point it’s a matter of a couple of taps to unlock it. This All-in-One Brilliant Smart Home Control can help you simplify all your smart home products into one app, but is it worth 299. The Touch Edition’s touch-sensitive features are powerful-bordering on game-changing-but it’s easy to see how they might not add much to the experience for many users.

If you want to control the Level Lock remotely using an iPhone, you’ll also need to have a HomeKit hub (a HomePod, HomePod mini, 2nd-generation Apple TV 4K, or an iPad that will always stay at home). The control panel is available in six colors to seamlessly blend with your home decor. A quick tap lets you secure the deadbolt on demand or share access with others, and a geofencing auto-unlock system is also available (as is an automatic locking option).Ī pair of physical keys are included for old-school access (also handy if the battery dies), but all touch features-including the fingertip unlocking system and the ability to use NFC cards-are missing. The Brilliant Control Panel, which looks like a tiny smartphone display, replaces your existing light switch to give users touch and voice control over their smart home, without the need to juggle dozens of apps on a smartphone or tablet.

As a Bluetooth lock, the primary interaction method is via the Level app on your phone. It was under warranty, but it’s still a total pain in the a to replace, and worried it’s going to keep happening. I’ve had to replace my 3-gang switch twice already for the same problem. Other than that it's 2.4ghz ONLY, sporadically drops HomeKit connections and even connections to wifi. It puts your family photos on the light switch very well and reliably. Instead, you’ll need an Apple TV 4 or 4K running the latest tvOS, an iPad running iOS 10.3 or later (best if kept plugged in), or a HomePod. Brilliant was a good concept, but not worth the price and the headache. Reviewed in the United States on JanuIf you want a cool looking product and you're ok with little, missing or no functionality this is the product for you. The Level app stacks all compatible locks on one screen.Īs noted earlier, the new Level Lock strips out the touch features from the Touch Edition, but otherwise it works the same way. Secondly, you’ll need a hub if you want to control your HomeKit devices while you’re away from home.
