The Kwikset Kevo doesn’t directly connect to the internet, so controlling it remotely isn’t possible unless you get the [Kevo Plus][] add-on service ($99). It comes with an internet gateway in order to connect the lock to the internet for remote access, but is it worth getting?

Kwikset Kevo不能直接连接到互联网，因此无法远程控制它，除非您获得[Kevo Plus][]附加服务(99美元)。 它带有Internet网关，以便将锁连接到Internet进行远程访问，但是值得吗？

Since the Kwikset Kevo doesn’t have a Wi-Fi chip built in, it’s not able to connect to the internet by itself. Instead, it relies heavily on Bluetooth for many of its functions. This means that you can’t control the lock remotely if you’re away from home.

由于Kwikset Kevo没有内置的Wi-Fi芯片，因此它本身无法连接到互联网。 相反，它的许多功能都严重依赖蓝牙。 这意味着如果您不在家里，则无法远程控制锁。

However, this is where Kevo Plus comes into play. It’s an upgraded service that you can buy for a one-time fee of $99, and it comes with an internet gateway device that you plug into your router. From there, your Kevo lock and the internet gateway communicate with each other in order for the lock to gain access to the internet, and thus your phone when you’re away from home.

但是，这就是Kevo Plus发挥作用的地方。 它是一项升级的服务，您可以一次性支付99美元的费用来购买，它还带有一个互联网网关设备，可将其插入路由器。 从那里，您的Kevo锁和Internet网关相互通信，以便锁可以访问Internet，从而在您出门在外时也可以访问您的电话。

Unlike most other add-on services that charge a monthly or yearly rate, Kevo Plus is just a one-time purchase of $99, which will pay for itself in a year when compared to the cost of what most other subscription services charge for extra features.

与大多数其他按月或按年计费的附加服务不同，Kevo Plus只需一次性支付99美元，与大多数其他订阅服务收取的额外功能费用相比，这笔费用将在一年内收回。

Is that extra $99 worth spending, though? The Kevo lock itself [is $230][is _230], so the total cost of your lock setup would rise over $300, and that’s a pill that isn’t easy to swallow.

这笔额外的99美元值得吗？ Kevo锁本身[的价格为230美元][is _230] ，因此您设置锁的总成本将超过300美元，这是不容易吞下的药。

It really comes down to what you want to do with the Kevo lock and how you’ll get the most use out of it. The one big feature of Kevo Plus is being able to lock and unlock your door remotely, no matter where you’re at (just as long as you have an internet connection). So for example, if you’re at work and a friend decides to stop by, you can let them in and have them chill until you come home.

实际上，这取决于您要使用Kevo锁做什么以及如何充分利用它。 Kevo Plus的一大功能是无论您身在何处(只要有互联网连接)，都可以远程锁定和解锁门。 因此，例如，如果您在工作中，并且一个朋友决定路过，您可以让他们进来，让他们放松直到回家。

Or maybe there’s an emergency at your house and you need to let your neighbors in to check things out. You can unlock your door remotely and have them take a look around.

也许您家有紧急情况，您需要让邻居进去检查一下。 您可以远程解锁门，然后让他们环顾四周。

The Kevo Plus also allows you to lock or unlock your door with Alexa, which can be handy if you have multiple Kevo locks in the house and want to make sure your entire home is locked up.

Kevo Plus还允许您使用Alexa锁定或解锁门，如果您的房子中有多个Kevo锁并且想要确保整个房屋都被锁住，这将非常方便。

The same goes for integrating other smarthome devices, like the [Ring Doorbell][] or [SkyBell HD][]. You can launch the Kevo app from these respective apps and unlock your door after seeing who rang the doorbell. However, this only works if you’re at home and within Bluetooth range. Otherwise, unlocking your door remotely requires Kevo Plus, making the smarthome integrations kind of useless without it. It’s up to you whether that’s a feature you’d use enough to pay the extra $99.

集成其他[智能家居][SkyBell HD]设备(例如[Ring Doorbell][]或[SkyBell HD)也是如此][SkyBell HD] 。 您可以从这些相应的应用程序启动Kevo应用程序，并在看到谁敲门铃后将门解锁。 但是，这仅在您在家中且在蓝牙范围内时才有效。 否则，远程开门需要Kevo Plus，如果没有它，智能家居集成将变得毫无用处。 这是否取决于您是否足以支付额外的99美元取决于您自己。
