The Level Lock is an elegant and easy-to-install smart lock that integrates with Apple's HomeKit. It connects directly via Bluetooth 5.0LE to all smart devices. The Level app allows you to control the lock. It takes just a few clicks to change the lock's status.
Level is intended to be used in homes with standard 1 3/4 inch thick doors. It comes with a standard deadbolt and includes a deadbolt extender as well a folio equipped with access cards. The key to getting a Level lock is a HomeKit hub, such as a second-generation Apple TV 4K or HomePod mini.
The Level Lock's invisible design may prove to be beneficial for renters. It comes at $229, which is quite expensive. To use the product, you will need an Apple iPad or iPhone. This could cause issues if you don’t own a HomePod/HomePod mini.
Level utilizes an internal locking mechanism and a two-piece external keyhole. This combines the benefits of a standard deadbolt but with a more sturdy design. You can choose from satin nickel or polished brass. While it is not as visually appealing as other smart lock models, the lock has more functionality than most other models.
Level Home app lets you control your lock remotely from your phone. You can also set up automations for your home. It also supports a HomeKit QR code. These features allow you to share the lock with other users or guests, and check in while you're away. The app can also alert you if someone opens the door while the user is away.
Auto-Lock is another feature that unlocks the door automatically when you are away. To control the lock, you can use the Level app or Siri. You can even set a time and date when you will have access to the lock for added security.
The Level smartlock is expensive as you'd expect. At $329, it is more expensive than other locks at Home Depot. The Level smart lock integrates with Apple devices and is easy to install.
Level locks are not only beautiful, they also offer great security. It has a BHMA AAA rating. This is due to its resistance to pulling the door open.
A printed HomeKit pairing code is also included with the lock. This is crucial as you will need to enter the code into HomeKit to enable the feature. Level has taken every precaution to ensure the lock is secure. However, thieves have many ways to get into the lock.
The majority of consumer-grade locks can easily be picked so the BHMAAA rating does not provide the same level as lockpicking. Some of the more sophisticated smart locks, such as the Schlage Encode Plus, are hard to find.

How to test a home alarm system
How to test a Home Security System
Your alarm monitoring program must be installed on your computer as a first step. You can download the most current version from manufacturer's website. Next, set up your phone number to allow monitoring centers to route calls directly to your number. If you don’t know how to do that, you can ask your local service provider. You are now ready to test your setup!
There are two main methods to test your system. The first is to use a dummy. This device is essentially a fake one that looks just like the real one. It has the same features as the real one, but it doesn't actually work. It works just like the real deal if it worked properly. There are downsides to using a dummy gadget. First, it won't tell you anything about the actual functionality of your system. It might also look suspicious to others who observe it lying around. If it is stolen, it can pose a problem.
The second method is to test your system manually. You'll need to test every aspect of the system, and ensure it works correctly. You might check that your motion sensors work properly, that your cameras record, and that the doors lock correctly. Make sure that you test all of these things at least once per week. You can feel confident in your system's operation once you have thoroughly tested it.
