Kwikset Halo Select Plus review

Kwikset's Halo Select Plus is the strongest pick for iPhone households that want to tap a phone or watch to get in. It supports Apple home keys over NFC, and both Wi-Fi and Matter are built in, so you can choose direct Wi-Fi with no hub or join a Matter setup over Thread. Kwikset lists Alexa, Apple Home and Google Home support for voice and automations. The backlit touchscreen is rated by Kwikset as UV, water and humidity resistant, Auto-Lock runs on a timer or a geofence, and a slim door sensor sends an alert if the door is left open for 15 minutes. It runs on four included AA batteries and keeps a SmartKey Security cylinder, which Kwikset says resists bumping and picking and lets you rekey the lock yourself. There is no fingerprint reader, and at $309.00 it costs more than the Yale. We compared documented features and published prices.
