Hello, Your videos are really helpful. Thank you!

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

I’m so glad you’re enjoying them. Thanks for watching!

[@OttawaMikes]

Great video. I'm pretty handy so I had no problem installing this lock. But if you're inexperienced with door locks the included "quick start" is worthless. I really like this lock. Thanks

Nice! I love Matter Smart Home devices 🔥👍

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

They are great when they work!

[@DavidSkok1]

Great review thanks George. I am thinking of installing 6 of these in a large home, and will need to provide wired power to the unit via wired door hinges. Can you tell me what the voltage is for the unit, and whether there is a way to drill a hole to the battery compartment to do this wiring? (Or do you have a better suggestion for a wired smart lock?)

What’s the big difference here between the E30 and C220? Just matter?

[@Freedom_Matters_]

So If you are a renter would this even be possible to use since maintenance usually have a master key?

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

I'm a renter and I just created a custom code for maintenance and supplied it to my landlord...but every landlord is different, so it depends where you live.

Do you need a homepod device to connect to apple homekit? Thanks

A HomePod or Apple TV

George, greetings from another Omaha native. I just found your channel and I think it's super cool to find someone local who is also into smart home tech! I recently purchased a Tapo doorbell to replace my old Ring doorbell after finding your review of the Tapo D225. I love the D225 and I would like to invest more in the Tapo ecosystem. Do you have any plans to review the Tapo DL110 smart doorlock? I was looking at purchasing the DL110 as I am trying to switch all my smart home security stuff to the same ecosystem, but I'm not sure how the smart lock stacks up to other options on the market.

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

Hello neighbor! It looks like a decent lock, but I haven’t tried it myself. I’m holding out to try their new DL130 once I can get my hands on it.

[@davidschlemmer4115]

I bought the version of this without the fingerprint reader. Had the dreaded no response as well. Paired it with matter three times in the matter of three days. Back to Amazon it goes. Schlage encode is back on the door.

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

I had some troubles with The Apple Home reliability during my initial testing, but it’s been pretty flawless since I released this video.

[@chrisrobinson3771]

You’ve had it for a few weeks and the battery is at 72% (according to Apple Home)? Something is draining that battery really fast.

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

It’s because for more of those few weeks I’ve been doing much more with it than I normally would, for testing purposes. Under normal circumstances, I wouldn’t be using it nearly as much & the battery wouldn’t drain nearly as fast. Proven by how little the battery has drained since I released the video.

[@DethpickleDave]

Can't re-key it? That' sounds fundamentally bad. But also, it might simply be wrong. Unless it's a keyway unique to them, it's gotta be re-pinnable. It sorta looked like a Schlage keyway.

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

As I said, I didn’t try it myself. But that’s what Eufy is saying.

[@DethpickleDave]

@@GeorgeLangabeer Totally appreciate that. You're telling us the kinda crucial specifics we need to make an informed purchase. Actually, it's the kinda stuff we'd normally overlook or forget about in our excitement for the "new thing". I'm still waiting for the right new lock. I want Matter, Apple Key, Kwikset keyway and a better than 6 mo battery. I might be waiting awhile. Great vid!

[@shadowopal]

Yeah it isn't an easy rekey. But you can take the cylinder to a locksmith for rekeying. It is a spring and pin cylinder. You may be able to just purchase a few cylinders and swap them. But I don't have the lock in hand to verify. One could rekey it oneself if they have the training and tools. But I don't recommend. I have shot pins across the room never to be seen again trying it for myself. But that is likely due to lack of training and/or proper tools.

[@shadowopal]

​@@DethpickleDaveI wish kwikset would put a smart handle together that has their smarkey rekeying system.

[@DethpickleDave]

@@shadowopal I have a kwikset Halo. It’s fine. But I wish someone (kwikset) would come out with a full matching set of smart deadbolt, handle and matching dummy handles for a front double door. They make normal sets, but no smart sets. It’s always an oddball smart lock. They’re not for weirdos anymore. Start making them into the normal designs.

[@Joe_Veno]

I've had this lock for about 6 months and it sucks! The battery life is bad and it has a poor finger print reader! I have the Eufy doorbell lock with finger print reader and it works MUCH better as far as reader is concerned. At this point I'm done with Eufy products!

[@Sikhlyf]

lol. It just got released bro

[@GeorgeLangabeer]

Yeah, you definitely haven’t had this lock for 6 months. So I’m not sure which lock you’re talking about, but it’s not this one.

[@Joe_Veno]

Ok, sorry you're right. I have the C220. Looks the same to me. And I've actually had it about a year. I just checked my Amazon account. Hopefully this one is better! But I'm still done with Eufy! The lock sucks and the doorbell lock misses a lot of alerts.
