“Not the most elegant thing I’ve ever seen…” 🤣🤣🤣

Shane, it means that will work with HomeKey, can you please make a video of this, confirming that is working with Apple HomeKey? Recently Apple said HomeKey support for Matter.

It's nice to see Matter finally start to get a hoot hold. HOpefully the CSA and the various platforms can get the kinks worked out in short order and maybe we'll finally get that seamless Matter smart home experience we were promised. Good stuff indeed!

Can it unlock when first person arrives home automation

Is it possible to connect SwitchBot lock to Aqara hub that support matter as well ?

so great, thank you for sharing, can you buy this product in Vietnam?

I would consider buying two of these to control the dampers for my AC to allow me to force air to the parts of the house I want 🤔

It seems this information is not updated on the Switchbot page yet? I couldn't find it.

Can I use it while I am outside the country?

Hey I ordered the lock because of this video but I still wasn’t able to added it with hub 2…. Any idea why you see it on secondary devices and I don’t?

Matter support came via recent updates, so it's likely that you need to update firmware on the lock or the app. You will need: App Version：7.3 or above Hub 2 Firmware Version：10-08 or above Lock Firmware Version：6.5 or above

Is someone who can compare it to the lockin g30?

I dont really catch one thing. If i buy this, and use another Matter compatible HUB. for example IKEA Dirigera (when matter supports get enabled..) can i use this to apple homekit without the Switchbot hub?

No, you will need the SwitchBot Hub 2 in order to use the lock with Matter.

Switchbot is on a roll. Now I just need them to make a HomeKit compatible light switch that has a toggle switch instead of a rocker or button. Maybe I’m just missing them but I’ve yet to see a HomeKit toggle light switch 🤷🏻‍♂️

Have you considered something like an Aqara T1 Switch Module? It would just go behind your existing toggle switch, keeping the same switch face plate you already have while making it smart (with native HomeKit support). They are reasonably priced and super easy to install.

@@MikeFParkin I had not..will check it out! At this point I figured I would wait until one of the non HomeKit toggle switches adds Matter support. However, I’ll look into that Aqara and maybe go that route. Just strikes me as odd that nobody seems to already make one.

Hey Shane, One related question and one unrelated question. Do you know of any locks that are available or coming soon that will work on a sliding glass patio door? I'm going to look at a house to possibly buy in the next week, and from what I can see, it uses a patio door as the front door. Not something I love, but everything else about the place seems perfect so I would put up with it at least for a few years. But I really really want to have a smart lock at my next place so hoping there's something out there! Now an unrelated question. I have an old iPad Air 2 that I stopped using because it no longer updates. How much of a risk is it to use that for a few days just to watch some KZread videos? I just got new multifocal glasses (yes, I'm that old lol) and I love them for everything except the laptop. I just can't seem to get it at the right distance and angle to see it. So I want to check if a smaller iPad screen will be much easier for me, and if it is I'll buy a new one. If it isn't any easier, then I might as well keep trying to figure it out with the laptop.

To answer your iPad question, any risk requires your help. In other words, most hacks on Apple devices require you take several steps to make it happen. As long as you are either using the (Official) KZread app or the KZread website you should have no issues. There might be some security updates, Apple sometimes updates older hardware if the issue is bad enough.

What’s the difference between the SwitchBot Hub Mini and the SwitchBot 2? Do both work with their Lock? Does one have more capabilities, if so what?

You can only get Matter support through the Hub 2. And the Hub 2 has a built in temperature and humidity sensor and stronger IR capabilities.

I ordered 2 of them today, with 25% off, based on you saying on the live stream last week, that Matter support would come soon. It pays to watch your live stream 👍

Yes. There are videos online showing that, you can also ask Switchbot.

You missed to test one thing: It is possible to lock the door even when the door is wide open! That is only a missed software feature, all hardware needed already exists. As it is now you can unlock for someone remotely and then lock again but with the door open! Or checking that all doors are locked from bed but missing that one door is left open. Otherwise, I like the lock and would by more if they could fix this bug.

Does this apply to the one I've already had for a while or is it a new version of the hardware?

This is one looking quite terrible. Another flaw is that it needs switchbot hub to work with matter and homekit. With yale linus work of hub is by apple tv or homepod so less stuff at home.

@@ShaneCreates It's got a thumb turn that would most likely be compatible but I don't think there would be enough clearance with how the handle it designed.

No wire hangers!...or hubs! It's also a pretty ugly design-miss, I wouldn't have it in my home on design criteria alone.
