  • The lock itself is fine. I can do pretty much everything with the zwave once paired. Locking and unlocking are pretty quick and easy. You can setup a few different numbers too (haven’t played with it too much once setup). It has a sensor to detect if the door is open, but it’s pretty slow. Sometimes I can open and close the door before it knows it’s open. More of a door left open sensor.

    Our door lock it well aligned, but it’s yours is off I could see it being an issue, but that’s any motorized lock.

    Battery life seems pretty good considering we use the lock multiple times a day. Just 4 AA batteries I Believe. It also beeps at you when you lock/unlock before it dies so you have a fair warning.










  • My favorite is from drink shouts (gone a long time). Still might be sweet for your taste, but definitely needs the high proof bourbon to help cut it a little. Biggest difference is the addition of bitters (and the inversion of the liquor as you mentioned).

    1.5 oz Amaretto (Luxardo)

    .75 oz. High-Proof Bourbon (Knob Creek)

    1 oz. Fresh Lemon Juice

    2 tsp. Simple Syrup

    .5 oz. Egg White, Beaten

    2 Dashes Aromatic Bitters (The Bitter Truth)

    Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker WITHOUT ICE and shake for a few seconds (this is called “dry shaking” and helps the egg whites blend). Then add ice, and shake very thoroughly. Strain into a chilled, ice-filled rocks glass. Garnish with a Luxardo maraschino cherry.
