I've had this lock for about a month now. Installation was simple. The smartkey feature made it easy to re-key it to match my existing Kwikset locks.
Programming is fairly simple. You can program and operate it Without a Z-wave controller system. Without a Z-wave system you can manually program two access codes. With a Z-wave controller system you can program up to 30 codes. The lock creates an "Alarm" device as a sub-device on your Z-wave controller which relays a long list of events you can use as triggers.
For example, when a user code is entered to unlock the door and it's night, I have the entryway light come on. When the door is locked from the outside, I turn off all lights in the house.
You cannot operate it with a handheld controller. You need to have a computerized controller like Mi Casa Verde or Homeseer and your Z-wave interface or USB stick needs to have the latest firmware. I had to update my WDUSB-10 USB stick in order to make it work.
While this lock has only 5 buttons vs the 10 buttons on the Schlage lock, The Schlage lock allows only 4 digit combinations where the Kwikset allows 4 to 8 digits.
4 to 8 digit codes from 5 buttons = 390,625 permutations
4 digit codes from 10 buttons = 10,000 permutations

This lock works great with the MiCasaVerde Vera2 Zwave controller. Without the controller (inside the lock itself) it only supports 2 codes. With the controller the options become much more interesting with the addition to time dependant codes etc... This lock works well, see my review of the handset lock if you are thinking about one of those (as they don't work so well).
One big word of warning. This lock is a Kwikset authorized dealer only item. You cannot even get them at Home Depot or Lowes. If you buy one of these here, make sure you are buying from a Kwikset authorized dealer. If you are having problems and try to call Kwikset they will not talk to you if you purchased them outside of the dealer network. I had this problem with the marketplace vendor I purchased my locks from.

I wanted this Kwikset Z-Wave controllable lock so I can remotely program codes to allow guests in my second home located hundreds of miles away.
If I need to allow a contractor in the home, for example, I can use my Z-Wave controller (MiCasaVerde Vera 2) to program a temporary code that is good for a pre-determined period of time (i.e. July 27-July 30). Every time the contractor enters the code, I receive an email telling me the code has been entered or that the lock has been locked. I like the Kwikset lock because the deadbolt is actually turned by a tiny motor in the lock. The lock is powed by four AA batteries. The unit reports the battery level to the controller and I receive an email when the battery gets below a certain point. Kwikset says the batteries should last one year under normal use. The lock is installed on an exterior door, protected by a small porch. I have not experienced any weather-related problems.
