French Days – The Yale Linus Silver “4-star” connected object at €161.35 (-20%)

Behind Yale is the Assa Abloy brand, one of the world leaders which owns, among others, the Fichet and Vachette brands. With its Linus, Yale offers a connected lock compatible with most doors thanks to an adjustable cylinder.

The Yale Linus is a successful smart lock that ticks almost all the boxes. Its installation is carried out smoothly, even by DIY novices. The very clever door cylinder fits almost all openings. The application is simple, functional and compatible with many third-party services and applications.

Strong points

• Simplicity of installation.
• Cylinder (optional) compatible with most barrels.
• Very complete application.
• Accessible battery compartment.
• Robustness.
• Functional application.

Weak points

• Clutter.
• Fewer accessories than some competitors (no badge reader, biometric sensor, etc.).

NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude the prices of stores whose the VAT policy is not clear (so-called “gray” stores, typically in the case of imports from China).

Alternatively

This version 3.0 of the Nuki Smart Lock connected lock is just as reliable as the Pro version and its price positioning makes it an interesting alternative when remote control is not required. The Bridge accessory sold separately makes up for this gap if the need arises over time. In all cases, the installation remains very simple, as does the use thanks to a well-made application, but we regret the noise, again a little too loud from the motor.
