Where Schlage fits in a smart home

Schlage splits its range by radio. The Encode, Encode Plus, Arrive and Sense Pro locks have built-in Wi-Fi and are set up through the Schlage Home app, with no hub needed for remote control. The Connect deadbolt is a separate Z-Wave Plus lock that needs a Z-Wave hub. Apple Home and Home Key are limited to the Encode Plus and Sense Pro, and Matter over Thread appears only on the newer Sense Pro.

That suits people who want a Wi-Fi lock with Alexa, Google or Apple Home, or a Z-Wave lock for a hub-based system. It is weaker if you want Matter across the whole range, because only one model is documented with it, and most open-platform integrations for the Wi-Fi locks go through Schlage's cloud rather than a local connection.

Apps

Schlage Home

The free app for Schlage's Wi-Fi locks. It handles remote lock and unlock, scheduled guest codes and virtual keys, a history log, notifications, lock settings, multiple homes and installation guidance. Schlage lists the Sense Pro, Encode Plus, Encode (deadbolt and lever), Arrive and Sense as supported, and the App Store listing says the Connect deadbolt is not supported. Remote control of the original Sense needs a Schlage Sense WiFi Adapter. Published by Schlage Lock Company.

iPhone Android

Key by Amazon (Ring)

Not a Schlage app. Schlage's works-with page says Encode, Encode Plus, Encode Lever and Arrive locks can be set up through the Key by Amazon app for Ring. We did not open an app store listing for it.
