Great rewiew, thank you for your honesty!
Thanks.
So to override the autolock timer and lock immediately, you can hold the Enter key for one second?
Pare, good video. I wonder why they dont allow the auto lock feature to be turned off. Do you know if the other Lever locks allow you to turn it off from Ultraloq ?
This lock is to expensive. great video
Months ago I emailed Eufy to see if they were planning on integrating a door knob/handle into their lineup since they have the door lock. It's something you would think they would have already been trying to produce since I don't find it practical to use my phone to unlock my top lock only to pull my keys out to unlock the bottom one. If I'm going to use my phone or another smart device to unlock my door I don't want it only half way unlocked since that defeats the purpose of automation.

I know most companies focus on the deadbolt replacement.
From saudi 👍
This for me would definitely be an office lock
Hey you should try out the new Eufy AirTag. Great videos!

I have to check it out. Thanks.
Is it better to get the smart lock on the handle or the smart lock on the deadbolt for an exterior door? If we get it on the smart lock on handle, we would still get a deadbolt. We want two locks. Which is better?
Pls send this to the lock picking lawyer for his analysis.
The Lock Picking Lawyer would have that open in about 10 seconds!

Looks cool for home use.. but i wouldn't put my finger prints in that device..
Can the pass codes be assigned remotely without being on site for people to give access? Please let me know, thanks!
It's almost seem like a really good option for my home office... That one missing feature of being able to immediately lock it on the other side though or unlock it manually is a small bummer but probably not a deal breaker.

Yes..I think this is better in an interior door and will replace your door knob…and not on entry doors.
A bit bulky. How about the Aqara Z100 Zigbee?
Pretty cool lock, but I would not trust it enough on an exterior door. I'd much prefer, and feel safer, to also have a deadbolt.
I think a lot of people will not buy this lock do to the inability to manually lock it from the inside. The rest will bring it back when they realize they can’t lock it from the inside.

It locks automatically
First Aussie 😁.
latch type can't be jimmied if installed properly. If you press in the little piece at the top it locks in place and that piece should be pressed in when the door is closed.

Correct
WiFi locks use too much power so they are either big and ugly, or need batteries replaced/recharged every couple months.

My front door smart lock I installed at the end of 2019 is still using the batteries that were included in the box... But it uses ZWave, so less power hungry than wifi smart locks.

@@pepeshopping - And if it’s 11 months do your u still want to know? Battery life isn’t going to be the same for everyone sense some go in and out more often. Same goes of installed on a back door verses a front door. And of course the types and brands of batteries will effect how long they last. Thank You and Cheers to you.

Garbage tbh the battery dies and you need keys! I had one for a home door they last ok but not forever they start to break down and stop locking. You have to go to the other side to unlock it so hope you have a window.

This looks way too commercial, not homey at all
People need to stop post the cringeworthing lock picking lawyer comments. We know who he is and frankly do not care.

I mean if you don't care about if the lock you put on your door doesn't have a major security flaw then why bother with locks, just use a fake lock. It would probably provide even more protection since appearance if all you care about.
