Yale's Assure Lock 2 Touch with Wi-Fi ranks first because it covers the most ways in without extra hardware. The outside has a biometric keypad: Yale says fingerprints stay on the lock and are encrypted with AES 128-bit security, and you can still use a code or the included key. Wi-Fi is built in, so the Yale Access app can lock and open the door remotely, share and track entry codes, and pair Auto-Lock with the DoorSense sensor that reports whether the door is shut. Yale lists voice control with Alexa, Hey Google and Siri, plus integrations with Google Home, Apple HomeKit, SmartThings, Philips Hue, ecobee and Airbnb. The lock is tested to ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 and carries a 2-year electronics warranty. The trade-offs are that it replaces your deadbolt, needs a 2.4GHz network, and cites a lower security grade than the AAA-rated Level. We compared documented features and published prices.
