The Yale Code is a unique alternative to traditional smart locks
The Yale Code installed on a door.

The Yale Code is a new electronic lock that borrows many features from smart locks like the Assure Lock 2, yet it isn't technically a smart lock. It lacks support for Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Apple Home, and Matter. There's no mobile companion app. It can't even connect to Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Instead, it lets users customize "smart" features directly on the lock itself -- positioning the Yale Code as a unique combination of smart and traditional lock.

This non-connected keypad lock can be manipulated with either a physical key or via its digital keypad. Passwords can be created and edited directly from the keypad itself, eliminating the need to download companion mobile apps or connect to third-party smart home platforms. That should appeal to anyone looking for a quick install process or less inclined to use their smartphone to manage their front door. Despite its lack of traditional smarts, the Yale Code still offers features typical of smart locks -- including an Auto Lock feature that locks the deadbolt after a certain period of inactivity as passed.
