Product Information

Our network of professional installers have undergone all the necessary background checks and training, so you can rest assured your home security is in good hands. With the Yale Linus, there’s no way to engage the lock like this, and the Ultion Nuki needs a wireless keypad for simple locking from outside.

Yale Conexis L2 review: A remote-controlled smart lock

Anyone that’s DIY-savvy should be able to manage this job, but I recommend taking time and doing the job slowly to avoid problems. To counter for different door widths, Yale provides two spindles in the box, each one adjustable to three different positions. Fitting this handle is a little fiddly, as the connecting wire needs to be fed through one of the screw holes. The smart lock will play an audible tune as a ‘low battery’ warning when the batteries are approaching expiration.

I had the original Yale Conexis L1 installed for four years, then in January 2023, the lock just stopped working. The Access app is much better than the Conexis L1 app, although it wasn’t immediately obvious how to register a key card or fob as this is done via the Guest List.

At its best, it’s a smooth and quiet smart lock, but if something major goes wrong the lack of a key override is a massive disappointment. Unlike a traditional lock, the Conexis L2 Smart Lock allows you to check in from anywhere in the world and receive real-time notifications in the event your door is unlocked unexpectedly. Last, there’s Temporary, which could be a workaround for this limitation, as you can set a start date and time, and an end date and time.Just like the Conexis L1, you can set up other people with access: family members, friends, cleaners, gardeners or whomever you want to let in. Send users virtual keys so that friends and family members can gain access to your home, even when you are not around.
