Yale Conexis L2 Smart Door Lock - Remote Access From Anywhere, Anytime, No Key Needed, Works with Alexa, Google Assistant and Philips Hue - Black

Product Information

With the Yale Linus, there’s no way to engage the lock like this, and the Ultion Nuki needs a wireless keypad for simple locking from outside. For me, I wouldn’t use this on a door unless I had an alternative way into the house, such as via a back door.

With home security at the forefront of its design, the Conexis L2 Smart Lock has been awarded the BSI IoT Kitemark, guaranteeing it has achieved the highest level of security for internet-connected products, providing users with a label of trust. So far, so good, but the Yale Conexis L2 also has a big issue: getting access to your home if something goes wrong. The Yale Conexis L2 is a good smart lock that’s much improved over the L1 simply because it uses a different app and now has Wi-Fi connectivity.

It’s still a shame Yale hasn’t made a keypad available for it, which would make it a more compelling prospect for Airbnb properties, but for homeowners that want a smart lock for their own families, it’s a decent choice. Those that come in the box are pre-paired, but pairing a new one is a simple case of tapping it on the reader when prompted by the app. The reason for this process is to prevent accidental unlocking, such as if you popped out to the shed at night and re-entered the house, you wouldn’t want your front door to lock. It is not possible to use rechargeable batteries with the Conexis L2 in Brass as rechargeable batteries have a lower voltage.
