Android owners aren’t locked out either.
Tap to unlock only works with Apple devicesIn terms of design, the Encode Plus looks very similar to the prior Schlage Encode locks. Its obvious keypad doesn’t try to hide the fact that it’s a smart lock — in fact, the one notable difference between this one and prior versions are the parentheses around the 5 button that indicate where to tap your phone or watch. It’s not particularly subtle, but it’s far from the ugliest smart lock I’ve come across.
The backside of the lock, or what’s on the inside of your door, is larger and blockier than the front. It provides room for four AA batteries, which Schlage says can last up to six months when the lock is used on Wi-Fi or up to a year if you use it with Thread. I’ve been testing the lock on my primary entrance for nearly two months, and the Apple Home app reports it has 82 percent battery life remaining. The lock will send alerts to your phone when the batteries are low.
The motor itself is not completely silent, and you can hear it whirring when it automatically locks or unlocks the door. Fortunately, it’s not especially loud, nor does it have an irritating grinding noise like some of the older smart locks.
