Eight AA cells and a richer unlock set swing this one: Wyze Auto-Lock Bolt v2 is the better smart lock than the Schlage Encode.
It lasts about 8 months, adds more lock/unlock methods, includes anti-peep passwords and costs less, with an IP53 shell and a USB-C emergency port. The Schlage Encode works with Alexa, Google Home and Home Assistant and is the familiar keypad deadbolt for rental codes. Both auto-lock after the door closes.
