With ConexisTM L1 your smartphone is now your key. There’s no need to leave keys under the mat or worry about the hassle of replacing them if they go missing.

but if your snart phone goes missing or it's battery goes flat or any other reason the phone isn't working.

I was in a hotel with proximity card reading locks ( not this type but battery operated ). Two rooms were out of service due to non functioning locks, new batteries were needed and staff on duty weren't able to replace them

I have the keypad version. Works a treat.

Is there any issue with security for these. What are the risks/downsides?

 

[Budnzeus]

It meets pas24 Security rating and has mostly positive reviews. If you lose a fob you simply delete it instead of having to change the lock.

You can also give people temporary access via the app and open the door with Alexa

It’s also got a child safe thumbturn with is good as my kids love to open the bloody door.

Other good thing is that you just lift the handle to Lock it.

Just hoping the Alarm fobs work it to save having two fobs.

To be fair, you could probably train a monkey to replace the battery!
I hope your L1 (non-keypad) works better than the one I have been fighting with for the last 2 years - and have finally given up on. It was even replaced under warranty and now chews through a set of AAs in about 2 weeks - amongst its other mind-numbingly daft design features. The only reason I went with it was that as I have an opening outward front (UPVC) door, the width of the lock body is restricted otherwise it hits the door frame when opening the door.
