I just bought a new deadbolt for my house that has a coded electronic lock and is supposed to work with the Wink app or other Zwave stuff. Well the Wink hub is a pain in the butt because apparently they forgot to make software upgrades easy -- or even work, it seems.
Not that I'm going to take this thing out since it accomplishes my goal of not being locked out of my home if a key and garage door remote are not available -- recent happening -- but I saw yesterday a newer model of this Schlage lock that supposedly works with HomeKit.
The one I got was on sale for $150 and this newer one is $229, so it's not really worth the change that way either (except no Wink hub needed). But I was just curious if anybody had tried out HomeKit products. I don't even know how they would work since I know I have a Wink app but haven't heard about any such app for my iPhone.
