I'm 350 bucks in the hole. Let me loss be your gain: buy any other lock product. I'm going to just go down the list.
1. I have Kwikset locks in the house with their smartkey system. This lets you easily re-key the lock to a different key. Kevo has the same system. This allowed me to have a single key to operate the deadbolt and latch. The key works. Great...it's a manual deadbolt.
2. Install was a little longer than anticipated. I had to loosen the main bolts to allow the lock motor to function. (This is covered in their troubleshooting.) I did not crank down the bolts. I used a firm screwdriver torque. I had to loosen them a half-turn. The deadbolt seems firm on the door.
3. Programming is a PITA. I finally got my phone, Android, to work. You've got to stand there, bluetooth on, kevo app running, and lock/unlock the door twenty times. Yes, twenty times. It's in the book. And, it still has been "iffy" about sensing.
4. The included batteries died after 2 1/2 weeks. Latest ones have lasted 4 weeks. (6 1/2 weeks total ownership.)
5. Kevo hub, the 100 dollar device which allows web-based locking/etc. My first one was inop. I spent an hour on the phone with tech help. They sent a replacement...which took 3 weeks to arrive. THREE WEEKS.
6. I bought two key fob e-keys. They have to touch the lock to work.
7. Yesterday, the deadbolt broke. Something inside the motor is broken. (Thank goodness is broke when it did! It was the last day for me to RMA with Amazon.)
8. In operation, if all your devices (fob, phone, web-browser) are working, you walk up to the lock and touch it. Then, because it didn't "take", you touch it again. Okay, one more time. There! Now, the blue led circles for a few seconds. Okay...it turned green (to unlock, otherwise yellow to lock), and the lights circle for a few seconds. Finally, you hear the grinding sound of a small, overworked, motor turning...and in 3 more seconds the deadbolt is unlocked.
If you just had your key in your hand, you'd be through the door MUCH faster.
And, since this is just the deadbolt, you still need a key for your latch/knob lock. (I tried just locking the deadbolt and leaving the knob unlocked. Do you know how fun it is to see people grasp the knob, turn it, and then push forward, thinking the door is unlocked? Their faces left funny imprints on my door's window. The locked knob is an indicator that the door is locked. So, both locks are now used together.)
9. It may be "key-less", but you still need a piece of hardware, be it a phone or a fob, to operate the lock.
The concept is flawed.
The implementation is flawed.
The quality is flawed.
This is not ready for prime-time. Save yourself money.
If you want to use Alexa you must purchase the Kevo plus Hub and pair it up with Kevo app and Alexa App. Which I like this feature the times and years I once locked myself outside. Now I could walk up to the window and hopelessly she can hear me say.
Alexa, would you be a sweetheart and unlock my door.
But in reality who doesnt have their phone less then two feet away from them.
Thank you again for this product.

It looks beautiful and works OK as a classic keyed lock...
Software is so bad. It forgets who is inside and outside (phones) of the house.
Despite many reinstalls of this lock, it is pathetic at maintaining a Bluetooth connection to a phone (or even its own fob!), and most times even recognising what state it is in.
The lock ends up not recognising any Bluetooth phone and just has constantly spinning yellow lights until you undo the lock and take the batteries out.
I would have returned it, but the postage was too expensive.
