Review: Level Lock is the invisible smart home lock with HomeKit for your front door
mike1 said:This looks interesting. I'm in the market for a Smart Lock and was leaning towards the new August WiFi. The only thing that gives me pause with the Level is changing the battery. Even though they claim it will last a year, changing the battery looks like it will be a mini-project in itself, as everything needs to come apart again. -
Flying with Apple's AirTag: When 'boring' is genuinely high praise

AirTag isn't precise enough to let me know with pinpoint accuracy where my bag was on the carousel itself, but that's OK. This isn't an interesting or exciting product. It's a puck the size three stacked quarters, powered by a coin battery.
My only complaint about this experience is that the only notification option available for an AirTag, "Notify when Found", will send an alert the next time the tag's position is updated by ANY device participating in the Find My Network. It would be helpful if there were also a similar "Notify when Nearby" notification that would alert me the next time the tag is detected by my device directly. It would have allowed me to avoid keeping the Find My app open and watching for the button to change. I believe Tile and/or Trackr offer an option like that, though it was a little flakey when I last tried it. -
