Hey all, First time posting so sorry in advanced for anything wrong with this post. I couldn't believe how much cheaper this was to buy separately and had to share.

Yale Assure Z-Wave Keyed Wireless Digital Deadbolt goes for around $529 on various smart home websites like smarthome and smartliving.

I found Bunnings selling the Lock for $299, special order ("free delivery" to a Bunnings near you for pick up). Then lockshop selling the z-wave module for $82 (free shipping on orders over $75). they also have Zigbee if that floats your boat.

$381 all up, that's a $148 saving!

yes, still expensive for a lock but if you're in the market for one that's a great price.

the module is just plug n play into the lock. Zwave module is working fine in my Home Assistant setup.

    I don't understand why we have to buy something else and that something else can be either zwave or zingbee.

      Because they can. I reckon though a few people would buy the lock expecting the functionality to be included, only to be pissed they can't return because it's open and need to shell out another $82. I think it is quite a shithouse business model, sure says it can be upgraded, but most people wouldn't expect the upgrade to cost almost 30% of the original product for a tiny module.

      • tboss on 20/07/2019 - 15:01

        If you using zwave or zigbee you're used to 'reading the tin' to make sure your buying the correct frequency products (AU is different to the US). If you saw this for almost half the price of other stores you would be asking yourself why. The page also clearly says "can be upgraded with a Yale Assure ZigBee or Z-Wave Network Module to seamlessly integrate into most home automation and alarm systems."

    • tboss on 20/07/2019 - 14:50

      You could simply buy the lock and use it's bluetooth / app options. But this post was aimed at people who are into Home Automation (HA), already using either zigbee or z-wave as their wireless protocol of choice. Those people would be interested in integrating it into their HA setup.

      • CyberMurning on 20/07/2019 - 15:05

        Oh so those are just the protocol….

    • asa79 on 21/07/2019 - 10:58

      Modules cost money, and reduces the cost by not buying whatyou dont need

  • CyberMurning on 20/07/2019 - 14:33

    No card to tap, Bluetooth mobile app or something else?

    • [Deactivated] on 20/07/2019 - 14:49

      PIN or APP on your phone which uses Bluetooth. As long as the app is running and in-range, you just perform a twist motion with the phone and it unlocks.
      Don't ask about the impact on battery life or performance, having to keep another app running.

      • CyberMurning on 20/07/2019 - 15:04

        Wow that's cool James Bond unlocking style

  • [Deactivated] on 20/07/2019 - 14:37

    I just bought a manual type for $19. In case anyone needs el cheapo type for added security for entrance door etc

    It was the cheapest double side lock I could find at AliBay.

    • [Deactivated] on 20/07/2019 - 14:42

      Lol…still vulnerable to a brute force attack..but you should be safe from the keyboard warriors with that one.

      • [Deactivated] on 20/07/2019 - 14:48

        Yes but it doesn't interfere with existing door lock, so it's twice the strength.

          I had to change locks recently and found this to be a pretty good deal locally at Bunnings.

        • asa79 on 21/07/2019 - 17:42

          This still uses same so what's your point?

          • [Deactivated] on 21/07/2019 - 20:40

            @asa79:

            …what's your point?

            Not sure what you're asking, but the yale lock is $381, whereas the lock I bought is $19. Bigass difference.

            Anyway I'm not trying to discourage the fancy Yale door lock, but as I just researched the subject, I wanted to share what I found with Ozdudes.

    Not sure if you can control the loss of power action. Some unlock when out of batteries\power, while some models can be triggered by one of those gas BBQ sparkers.
    Never had the opportunity to try this model. Feels like over-engineering.

    • asa79 on 21/07/2019 - 17:43

      You will get notifications of low battery. So unless you can read you shouldn't have a flat battery

  • kiwijunglist on 20/07/2019 - 15:21

    I have this lock, the bluetooth is rubbish. Don't buy it for bluetooth. It's still a nice lock and I'm happy with it.

    I use it with zigbee module and zigbee2mqtt and home assistant. It should work with z-wave and home assistant as well, as that's what some others are doing. I'd recommend z-wave over zigbee if you have both options available to you.

    This lock has a key, so if the batteries die you use a key to unlock the door. The batteries (4xAA) should last about 1 year give or take.

    There is another version that doesn't have the key slot, instead you hold a 9V battery up against the lock if the internal batteries die.

    This price seems in line with the regular price from mitre10 / bunnings. I paid about $300 NZD for the lock and then about 80AUD for the module.

    This is their normal price $299, not a deal, but various review saying its mobile app is sux.
    You can also buy the key-less version.

    Edit:
    This is only good if you into HA, Z wave etc.

    If you after electronic door-locks, look for NFC, fingerprint, something similar not Bluetooth.

  • kulprit on 20/07/2019 - 15:31

    It seems the August module is better, bit maybe not within Australia. Anyone suggest a better smart lock?

  • Dknme on 20/07/2019 - 16:36

    [VIC ONLY] Since the topic came up, did more searching and found this if anyone in Metro Melbourne was interested,

    https://www.racv.com.au/shop/yale-assure-sl.html

    The keyless version with zigbee module and professional installation for $399.

    If they had the key version I would have gone for it, but seem they only have the keyless one.

    I’ve just started looking for a keyless deadbolt for my front door …after locking the key in twice in 6 months.

    My question to people is what is zwave or zigbee and how exactly would a lock with this functionality make my life easier ??

    I mean what’s the practical implication of having a lock with any of these protocols ??

    • boomramada on 20/07/2019 - 18:19

      Hope this help
      https://youtu.be/fBxwyxbgEro

      Btw this is just a dead bolt lock, this wouldn't fix your locking the key inside issues 😀

      • cynicor on 20/07/2019 - 18:41

        Surely it would cos of the keypad? Or did i miss the joke?

        • boomramada on 20/07/2019 - 19:22

          That wasn't a joke, isn't usually deadlock installed with the standard lock as well?

          • CyberMurning on 20/07/2019 - 19:25

            @boomramada: So I can't just use this Yale bolt alone? Looks pretty strong why I need that small standard lock? I want convenient not bringing keys.

            • boomramada on 20/07/2019 - 19:33

              @CyberMurning: Lol don't ask me, by observation, I haven't seen a house with just a deadlock.
              Maybe there is a explanation for the madness.
              That is why deadlock don't come with a door nob. :)

            @boomramada: You don't need to lock the bottom lock. Just use the dead lock.

    • ndenham on 20/07/2019 - 18:44

      Integrate it into a home automation system so you can check or unlock it remotely, or potentially set off an alarm if it's opened when it shouldn't be.

  • PlasticSpaceman on 20/07/2019 - 22:52

    I have this with the zwave module. Can definitely recommend it. The savings from not having to go to Bunnings every month or so to have replacement keys cut have definitely helped pay for it… :-)

      $300 worth of keys cut? You just handing to random women at pub or something

        Probably: not me - my wife. Friends, relatives, neighbours, cleaners, baby sitters, God only knows. Over a number of years, but still….

        • asa79 on 22/07/2019 - 10:35

          Yea doesn't make it very secure. Unique codes for each makes sense

  • 2025 on 31/07/2019 - 23:15

    These are fantastic. Got one a few weeks ago. I came to post this as a deal but you've already got it covered ha :)

    Same price at JB Hifi btw. They had stock for me when Bunnings didn't.
