My husband and I sat down to watch (no, not just watch, study) this video before we went straight to Eazea and purchased their gate+door lock. Biggest considerations for us were the presence of fingerprint lock inside the gate lock (since I leave my door open all the time and don't want to use a remote to unlock the gate from inside) and that the fingerprint sensors are perfectly placed to just open the gate/door without shifting hand position. Very happy with our decision. Thank you so much for your recommendations! You are such a great resource and we really appreciate your advice!

hello, thanks for your video. It is interesting to continue in the form of only a lock on the door (without garage ones, as in this video), which you can actually buy in Europe, and where the build quality, materials will be put first, and then the functionality will go.

I'm using Yale paired locks for the past 9 months, and it's been great! However, mine is locked instantly though, even before the gate closes properly. A bit annoying tbh. What I did previously was play with the timer settings, then felt it was too long (10 seconds minimum) and change it back to instant. Also another good point about Yale, is that I can track the battery life using Samsung SmartThings app on my phone, and set the automation to light up my Philips Hue in a certain color when the gate's battery is lower than 10%. And it works! I don't have to keep tracking when my battery will be out. 😂

from the lock itself, it doesnt pass the message back to the smart home platform of who unlocked the door.

​@@AlexTeo Thansk for your response. I wish to have the price for Philips EasyKey DDL709 and How i can order it from France. It's for Airbnb rental uses

Hey sorry. So you say that both Yale gate and door lock is compatible with Apple homekey? Dang. Maybe I need to reconsider my purchase.

Haaallp....is it true the Solity locks dont connect if you have a mesh network? I don't get why the supplier keeps saying mesh network not supported when mesh networks have a 2.4ghz AND 5ghz channel. Anyone can share their experience before I buy? Thanks 🙏🏼

If the main door lock is just a dummy, should we just buy gate lock will do? What's the downside?

For me i will prefer to have just the door lock. Depending on your gate, people might be able to open your door easily. You have almost no security features on the gate lock, as the inside is fully exposed

@@AlexTeo Thank you. The problem with the China ones is can't connect with smartThings and will have to stick with china brands for future replacement (no alteration required). Btw, is your doorbell with camera installed at the side of wall instead of the main door? Ur video at the entrance seemed to be showing side view.

Oh if you smartthings integration then got to go with either solity or yale. Yale can link to google assistant as well. Smart doorbells are all placed at the side where doorbells are supposed to be
