Nest Connect and Nest Guard control the lock's functions. It can be locked and unlocked from any location in the world. It is more secure than the Yale lock and can be accessed from anywhere in the world. This lock is a great option to secure your home.
It's not stellar.
The Nest x Yale lock doesn't come with a keyhole despite the name. To lock or unlock it, you'll need to hold a 9-volt battery or type in a code. The lock works well and is intuitive. But there are some issues that make it less perfect.
One of its biggest flaws is that the Nest x Yale locking system doesn't allow voice control. If you have a Nest Secure security system, this lock should work seamlessly. The lock does not support flexible smart-home integration. The lock can't connect to HomeKit or SmartThings and is therefore incompatible with other products.
Nest Connect and Nest Guard are required
Nest Detect can only work if it is in the Wi-Fi ranges of Nest Connect or Nest Guard. If it goes beyond that range, it will become inoperable and can't connect to WiFi. You can fix this problem by reconnecting the device to Wi-Fi. This process should not take too long.
To add a Nest lock to your Nest account, you can use the Nest app. In the app, locate the lock and then press the white indicator light button located above the thumb turn on the interior side. Try moving the Guard/Connect closer to the lock to make sure it is visible to the app.
Doesn't support voice control

A multipoint lock consists of a lockcase, hooks, as well as a deadbolt. The lock case is mounted on the edge of the door frame and the hooks are attached to the top and bottom of the lock. The deadbolt will be located in the centre of the lock case. There is an exterior handle to open the door. The handle can be key-operated or operated by a lever.
Remote control not offered
The Nest x Yale lock is a smart door lock that replaces a traditional deadbolt. It connects easily with the Nest hub and has a ANSI security score of two. It is a Nest product and works only with the Nest App. You will need to download the Nest app and use the Nest hub for it to be operated.
The Nest x Yale lock is functional but does have some glitches when sharing codes. Nest ecosystem users will be pleased with this lock, which allows you remote monitoring and control of your door from anywhere. The August WiFi Smart smart lock is a better option. These are less expensive and work with more hubs.
