Not complaints — practical notes from owners that didn't affect the score.
“I have U-tec Ultraloq Pro smart deadbolts. I haven't actually used or even carried keys in years (now that I think of it... Where did I even put those keys?). And for anyone wondering, three locks would all have to fail at the same time without any warning for me to be locked out of the house. Not going to happen.”— TheJessicator on Reddit
“You get the basic lock/unlock command, and you can set/clear codes, but I think that's it. I'll try to mess around with it more later tonight, but I don't think you can get any more detail than that.”— MangoScango on Reddit
“I tried Alexa but can't integrate it in routines :( An Alexa routine won't allow me to unlock the lock. I want to push a button to open my door and not shout a code (especially when guests are present).”— moooootz on Reddit
“I have the Pro, it can be managed remotely. I have it set up to connect to WiFi via a hub, I'm not sure if cellular access is possible but I doubt it.”— hanzo87 on Reddit
“My u-bolt pro with wifi bought thru Amazon arrived with its keyway matching my schlage door knob's keyway. Each key slid completely into the other. Local locksmith rekeyed the ubolt to the doorknob for $10, np.”— Legal-Weakness-5874 on Reddit
“I've discovered that Ultraloq's pin spacing isn't standard to Schlage keys, however, I've found that the Prime Line E 2103 cylinder perfectly fits inside the Ultraloq and I'm now able to re-key the new cylinder to match other Schlage cylinders!”— dragongc on Reddit
“I'm new to HA and have an Ultraloq U-Bolt Pro. How did you get the Ultraloq to show up in your HA integrations?”— msl2424 on Reddit
“Good question. I did use the app for setting up users/codes so I don't know if that's possible in HA. I've only used it for the basics in HA so far like locking/unlocking and lock status. There is a battery sensor, and also a door open/close sensor.”— Pitch-Please on Reddit
