The Schlage Sense is compatible with HomeKit but not with other platforms or hubs like SmartThings.

The Sense has proven to be extremely reliable during my testing. It consistently responds to each command that I send to it via the Home app or through Siri. Although there is a little lag, the Sense never fails to respond.
A feature of the Sense that is nice to have is its ability to pair with a Wi Fi adapter. With this, you can lock or unlock your door remotely.
