Hello Ixs, We're here to help! The Home Connect 620 features Z-Wave technology that only connects to Z-Wave hubs and Security Systems. Some examples of Z-Wave compatible systems are the Samsung SmartThings, Ring Alarm, Wink, and ADT. The Kwikset app only works with the Halo and Aura locks. Should you need any further help, please reach out to our Support Team here: https://www.kwikset.com/support/customer-service Thank you, Kwikset
    Works Flawlessly with my Ring Alarm System!
    I'm glad I ignored the comments here and bought the Kwikset 620 Z-wave to use with my Ring Alarm System. Once I installed the 620 and got the green light after it finished the handing cycle, I was able to set up the 620 lock using the Ring app by entering the alarm tab and going to "set up a device/security/locks/add manually/Z-wave" and then scanning the 620 QR code located behind the battery pack cover. The Ring system immediately recognized the 620 lock and added it to the alarm system with full functionality. I don't understand why this affordable 620 Z-wave lock is not listed in the Ring compatibility list. Mine works as if it were made for the Ring Alarm System.

      Works like a charm.
      Everything went as planned. I just had an old door so it took a little longer to drill and place the lock and accessories.

      The product seemed well built but smart lock functions turned out to be incompatible with ADT alarm system (not Kwikset's fault). The return was handled great by Home Depot.

      Great Lock. Much Improved Battery Life
      Great lock at an affordable price point. I am glad they came out with this lock as a replacement for the 888 Smart Code. I am getting about 6 month more with this model than I was with the 888.

        Product clicks repeatedly when locking and there are no instructions on how to trouble shoot or configure so it doesn’t do that

        Garbage
        If I could give this zero stars I would. This product is absolute garbage I have read and tried to reprogram it for 2 hours the only thing I can get it to do it factory reset and program the user code. But then the user code will not work and pressing the lock button will not lock it.

        Hello Noo, We're here to help! To fix this, please try recalibrating the latch with a fresh set of batteries. Here's a link the the Manual Door Handing process video: https://youtu.be/jhE5Nilog54 If the lock is still not responding after trying this step, we are happy to assist you further here: https://www.kwikset.com/support/customer-service Thank you, Kwikset
          Poor security and user experience
          I don't have any Z-Wave powered hubs, so can't use the smart features. Because it's battery powered, it's run out of batteries multiple times where I couldn't get back in or I left the door unlocked inadvertently. The instructions were pretty poor - I had to find videos on YouTube and look through the FAQs to understand how to do things like remove an access code. Worst of all, the security is poor: anyone who has been inside your house can add their own code and enter your house later.

            Does the job without any bells & whistles
            I put this on my Christmas wish-list and Santa obliged me with two of them. I installed the first one on my back door. Everything went well and I was up and running in about 20 minutes, But, as I fiddled around with it I was somewhat disappointed to learn that the overall functionality is average. I did not read too many of the reviews, although it was recommended in its category. It works with my smart home hub, which is a lesser known company but fits well with my idea of a smart home system. But I was disappointed to learn that I could only lock/unlock the deadbolt lock. I could not find out which code was used to manually open the door nor could I set up any lock codes through the hub. The reality is that I didn't do enough research. It's a Kwikset, so I feel secure, I just wish it had a bit more "ease of use."

                Works great with Ring Alarm
                I have two of these in my house, replaced a couple of Yale smart locks that were going through a set of batteries every 6 weeks. I was able to add them to my Ring alarm very easily, the 620 is on Rings list of supported devices, very happy with both performance and looks of these locks. I have no idea why this lock has such a low rating here when the two 620’s in my house have been just fine and so much better than what I had with the older version of Z-wave.

                  Works Flawlessly with my Ring Alarm System!
                  I'm glad I decided to ignore the advice given here and try the Kwikset 620 z-wave lock with my Ring Alarm System for myself. Once I got the lock installed and passed the handing sequence successfully. (It took four or five resets and handing cycles to finally get the green light!) After that I was able to use the Ring App by going into the Alarm tab: "set up a device/security/locks/add manually/Z-wave" then scan the QR Code on the 620. The Ring Alarm System immediately recognized the 620 lock and added it to my system flawlessly! I'm not sure why this affordable lock is not listed as compatible with Ring, because it works with mine as if made for it!

                    Hello Jerry,

                    The SmartCode 620 must be paired to a Z-Wave-compatible hub first to use Google Assistant or Alexa app. Once the lock is paired to a Z-Wave hub, you can use the lock remotely through the app that pertains to the system it's paired to. The 620 lock is compatible with the following Z-Wave hubs: SmartThings hub, Wink, Honeywell, ADT Alarm, Vera, Vivint, or Ring Alarm System. We also have a team of lock experts here to assist you with anything from installation, to troubleshooting, to warranty support when needed. Should you need assistance, we ask that you please call our Support Team at 1-800-327-5625.

                    Nice idea but did not meet expectations. Started malfunctioning after 2nd or 3rd use on day 2. Have kept it locked (no use) ever since then and battery has been blinking to be replaced for weeks now. It’s okay but disappointing especially considering the price. Was going to purchase for back door as well but I won’t now

                    Instructions to Program Code NOT Correct
                    I purchased and installed this quickly with a baby strapped to my chest crying. The issue is the instructions hardly cover how to program the program code. Followed the instructions to a T and now I'm locked out of the key pad.

                      Works as long as you don't mind constant beeping
                      So this is the 2nd replacement I have recieved as my original lock is no longer an option. I have followed all of the installation instructions and called support and we still have beeping. Just random consecutive beeping. The lock works kinda. Followed all the troubleshooting instructions and now I have the same beeping and it won't communicate with my alarm panel. I have reset it twice. So if you want a smart lock that beeps randomly with 4-5 consecutive beeps constantly throughout the day and doesn't want it to communicate with an alarm panel, this is the lock for you.

                      Hello rwynia, We're here to help! To fix the beeping sound, please check your door alignment and that the door jamb hole is at least 1 inch deep for the latch to fully extend into. Next, please ensure you are using name-brand alkaline batteries and perform the manual door-handing process to recalibrate the latch: https://youtu.be/jhE5Nilog54 For further assistance, please call our Support Team at 1-800-327-LOCK (5625).

                        Works great, programming instructions need update
                        Lock replaced Kwikset WiFi model, straight forward replacement, works beautifully. Instructions for Auto-Handing were clear, lock did not do what instructions said, called customer support, they agreed that some models are not following what the instructions say exactly. Easy fix, support stayed on the line to ensure connection to smart hub and individual code programming were seamless. This lock has already saved us while on travel and house sitter was injured, friends given individual codes they could use had no problems entering and exiting.

                        Ring integration is a joke, save money.
                        It says it works with Ring alarm. It connects, you can unlock/lock sometimes. That's it. Nothing more. Lock/unlock status is glitchy so can't trust whether it's really locked or unlocked. Connection constantly dropped. If you contact Ring they will say this is not under their compatible lock list. So you have to add it manually and this is what you get.
