A built-in-WiFi deadbolt worth choosing mainly when your router is close and on 2.4GHz, since that removes the need for a separate gateway that competing locks require.

Overview
A Philips deadbolt with WiFi built directly into the lock, so it connects to the home network without a separate hub. Unlocks by code, fingerprint, app, key, or Alexa and Google voice commands.
Skipping the hub is the main convenience here, but it comes with a catch buried in the fine print: only 2.4GHz networks are supported, and the router needs to stay within about 65 feet of the lock for reliable remote control. There is also no door-open sensor, so the app can report lock state but not whether the door itself is ajar.
- Built-in 2.4GHz WiFi, no hub required
- Backlit touchscreen keypad
- Voice unlock via Alexa or Google Assistant
- Auto-lock configurable 10 to 180 seconds
Who it's for
Owners on a 2.4GHz home network with the router reasonably close to the front door who want remote unlock without buying an extra gateway. Not a fit for 5GHz-only networks or routers far from the entry.
Pros and cons
- Up to 100 custom passcodes for family or guests
- Away mode restricts access to the master code while traveling
- No separate hub needed for WiFi connectivity
- 2.4GHz only, and the router must stay within about 65 feet
- No door-open sensor, only lock status
Performance notes
Setup runs through the app and home router credentials rather than a bridge device. Auto-lock is configurable from 10 to 180 seconds, and Away Mode disables every unlock method except the master code while traveling. The lock runs on AA alkaline batteries only; the manual instructs against other battery types.
