Pros: Weather resistance, Warranty and support
Cons: Auto-unlock, Door-sense
A lockout/timeout behavior after repeated failed authentication is described (for example, temporary lock suspension after several wrong attempts), but it is often not configurable and may be poorly documented.
Pros: Hub requirement, Door compatibility (deadbolt fit)
Cons: Door-sense, Geofencing
Reviews that tested repeated failed fingerprints did not observe a meaningful lockout by default, and failed attempts were not consistently logged or surfaced as alerts.
Pros: Hub requirement, Locking motor
Cons: Auto-unlock, Door-sense
