I agree with others who give a nod to Kwikset over Schlage. I own both -- I like both -- but the ability to mechanically turn the bolt is a HUGE plus, especially when you're 1,200 miles away.
I have found that most people who encounter the Schlage lock for the first time -- with its keypad and weird knob/handle -- aren't sure what to do once they enter the code. They hear the lock beep, but nothing happens (they have to manually turn the knob within a few seconds). The same is true when people are locking up. They entered the code, but did they turn the knob? Did they turn it in the right direction?
There's just too much to chance for a lock in such a remote location.
With the Kwikset, guests enter the code and the deadbolt turns automatically. Vera will indicate if the deadbolt is locked or unlocked. The Kwikset lock looks and feels much like a regular door knob.
However, Kwikset and Vera, and for that matter, Schlage, cannot tell you if the door is actually CLOSED. You may want to use separate door sensors or a camera to help verify the door/lock status.
