Add the built-in alarm function which “senses” potential door attacks and the fact that the entire product is of Grade 1 Highest Residential Security Rating and the simple act of protecting/unlocking/locking the front door becomes 21st Century simple.

... having the ability to control things from your iPhone and have the lock respond to voice commands makes it worth the premium price, particularly if you've already invested in other HomeKit devices. Granted, you'll need an Apple TV to control the Sense remotely, but that doesn't prevent it from earning our Editors' Choice for connected locks.
You can't control the lock from beyond the range of its Bluetooth radio, and especially not from outside the home.

If you are a devoted Apple user — especially one with an Apple TV and other HomeKit devices — then the Schlage Sense is a great choice for a smart, secure deadbolt. (If you're not an Apple user, Schlage's Connect deadbolts, which work with other smart home systems, may make more sense.)
Schlage’s new Apple HomeKit-connected deadbolt is surprisingly functional, and it points toward a future in which we don’t need keys.

The new Schlage Sense is definitely a generational improvement. First, it works with Apple’s Homekit automation, which means we can drop the Iris subscription (as long as we have an AppleTV on our home network to act as the hub instead). That saves a chunk right there.

I think this product is a good smart start to home security, and complements the slew of camera-equipped house lights and doorbells that will debut at CES, as well. This type of combination will make your home more secure, allowing you more peace of mind.

With HomeKit integration, the Schlage Sense will allow homeowners to control their door lock with Siri voice commands, and it has the built-in end-to-end encryption that Apple requires of all HomeKit-compatible products.

When I tested this arrangement out at the CNET Smart Home, I was able to lock and unlock the door from 40 miles away, albeit with about 9 or 10 seconds of lag. But again, you can't do that if you don't have Apple TV.
Because it’s compatible with HomeKit, Apple’s smart home network, you can unlock your door using Siri voice control on your iPhone.
