We installed these on all of our exterior doors ten months ago, and these locks are as-advertised. The locking mechanism is smooth and reliable, and they look good as well. The Z-Wave integration was a bit finicky and I often encounter problems when remotely setting new user codes, but by and large these have been a non-event.
All three locks are on the original batteries ten months later (more on this below), and only the oft-used front door has dropped below 80% battery. Our home automations cycle these locks regularly, and we've never had issues with lost connection or failed network commands.
Some cons: Adjustment and proper "tuning" of the door is absolutely critical. If the placement of the deadbolt is not absolutely perfect, you will be miserable -- the motor is not strong and it will eat through the battery in mere days. This was my initial experience before I educated myself on the experiences of others. I can absolutely confirm that adjustment and clearance must be correct; any significant contact with the deadbolt striker during mechanism movement will cause problems. Adjust the position of the closed door at-rest during the installation, and take the time to get it right, and you'll be happy.
Separately; the plastic on the keypad face is faring poorly in direct sun. At this rate, the plastic face will require replacement next year; it is already degrading and flaking around the edges. That's normal in my desert southwest environment, though disappointing.
Overall , we've been very happy with this purchase. Once we had it set up properly, they have worked every time, reliably, and without fuss or tinkering. The best measure of a smart-home integration success relates to how much time you spend supporting your tech. I've spent virtually none (remote user code changes via z-wave network excepting). It just works.
