GHOME Smart Door Knob a Must-Have for Easy Home Automation

[@RDsRCReviews]

This is a fantastic looking automated doorknob. I love that it uses your fingerprint and also an app for remote access. I want one. Very good review Dan.

[@Van_City]

Thanks Ryan appreciate you stopping by. I’m very happy with how easy this knob was to install / setup and all the app functions work perfectly 👍💯

[@PERTHWESTOZRC]

That's a great idea for added security especially for doors on the outside of your home. The fingerprint security unlock feature is a brilliant idea as well as having that C-type USB as a power back up when the AAA batteries go flat. Good review Dan 👍

[@Van_City]

Hey Dave, yeah these are definitely a great idea for added security. I’m thinking I might grab myself a couple more. Thanks for watching 👍💯🍻

[@DPMusicStudio]

[@Van_City]

Glad you like it!

[@bradsrcsmore3848]

[@Van_City]

Yeah these locks are great, thanks for watching Brad 👍💯

[@Diya6587]

I wish I had one of these for my bedroom door. They are very fascinating.

[@Van_City]

These are great 👍

​@@Van_City This video made me want to buy one.

Cool door knob and great review

[@Van_City]

Thanks brother appreciate you stopping by 👍💯💥

[@Fonzierc]

Looks like a decent product and easy enough to install I'm a double glazing installer by trade and here in the UK we don't have anything that easy to work with ! There is a few different types but some are really bulky 😞

[@Van_City]

Yeah I was surprised with how easy this one was to install and setup. It is a bit bulky but not as bad as others I’ve seen. Thanks for stopping by brother 👍💯💥

[@Fonzierc]

@@Van_City You welcome 👍 you should see the yale conexis Lol 🤣

[@budgetechgadgets]

Great Review on these security door knobs from GHome buddy! 👍👍

[@Van_City]

Thanks buddy, very happy with how easy it was to install and setup

[@Jsn604]

Can you disable the light and sound? I know my son will play with it.

[@Van_City]

You can disable the sound but doesn’t look like light is able to be

[@StreamlineGarage]

Question.. is there some sort of privacy mode that can be enabled so that no one with current added fingerprints can unlock it? I have a fingerprint door lock too from another company and a few of my family members have their fingerprints added as well to get in my room in case of anything.. there’s times they abuse that access to bug me. Unfortunately with my current lock I would have to delete their fingerprints and re-input them each time to have my privacy. I would love to enable something to pause their access. I hope my explanation helped understand what I’m asking.

[@Van_City]

Great question. I just took a look in the app and you can indeed control access to who has fingerprints saved without having to delete their profile

[@bigboss-yv2nr]

does it hold up? i just got it on Amazon and have read some reviews that it will just randomly stop reading fingerprints. Also, how long before it needs recharging or battery replacement?

[@Van_City]

It’s holding up just fine no issues with mine at all. I have no yet had to change out the batteries in 9 months

[@bigboss-yv2nr]

@@Van_City good to hear, mine is arriving today. Any tips for installation/use?

[@RetrieverTrainingAlone]

ONE YEAR LIFE SPAN MAX: according to the manual, the rechargable battery cannot be replaced, and the battery life is 8-12 months! So expect a year lifespan and then have to replace the unit! see pages 26-27 of the manual. The other problem I had was working temperature 23F to 131F....it might not work for most of the winter here in Montana where it is colder than 23F.

[@Van_City]

Not sure what you’re looking at in the manual, maybe the expected battery life?As this unit is powered by 4x AAA batteries which are easily replaced.

[@RetrieverTrainingAlone]

@@Van_City Not the latest version on Amazon...only USB C recharable batteries with a lifespan of 8-12 months! I am looking for a AAA battery version but so far can not find any on Amazon.

[@Van_City]

@@RetrieverTrainingAlone just checked this version is available on Amazon with the 4x AAA batteries I have links posted in the video description

[@RetrieverTrainingAlone]

@@Van_City That is the model I purchased from Amazon but it only had a USB rechargable battery...I WISH it had AAA battery compartment but it did not so I returned it.

[@kim4021]

Just got the 2nd version with numbers it came with the gateway device but doesn’t seem to work remotely. Works fine when I’m next to it but as soon as I leave the house it says it’s offline. Am I missing a step?

[@Van_City]

Mine is the same it only works if you’re within range of the Bluetooth

[@TJ-22]

What if you purchase a home with one of these locks? How do you prevent the previous homeowners from using their fingerprint and entering your home? Are you able to delete their fingerprints by using the app?

[@Van_City]

@@TJ-22 I’m not 100% sure. I suspect that the person who set it up (previous owner) is probably the main user and would still have access to unlock it.

[@Zigpoint1]

How do you charge these though

[@Van_City]

It takes 4x AAA batteries. Not rechargeable

[@jackieporter5700]

Lock will not open with code. How do we fix.

[@Van_City]

Does your lock have a touchscreen code to enter because this one’s fingerprint only? Alternatively, you can also use a key with the lock that I reviewed here.

[@sonicknives]

so can i unlock the door when im not home for someone to go in to the room?

[@Van_City]

No unfortunately not. The app needs to be within Bluetooth range to function

[@MrMOd3RnW4rF4R3]

Actually you can with the Ghome gateway

[@branislavgjorcevski2077]

Portable battery and usb c cable breaks into your home?

[@Van_City]

Would still require your finger print to activate the lock

[@paulkdickson]

Don’t put any temporary codes in the app with a long expiration as a test. The option to see them says there are none, and the option to clear them doesn’t work, as the code is still listed as “already used” when you try to apply it to a user. There also is no reset to default option in the app. This thing is trash.

[@Van_City]

@@paulkdickson you sure you’re referring to the right product? There’s no temp code options in the app that I can see

[@Leoburket]

You have to pay for your doorknob lock service now ? Lol

[@Van_City]

No app is free, all you need is a household internet connection
