Smartest lock on the market? Ubolt Pro Full Unboxing and Review

The Ubolt Pro stood out to me not only because of the ability to unlock the device 6 different ways, but the other features that sets it apart from many of the competition.

Very thorough, thanks for the review.

[@stevecalise9299]

[@PixelPunk2030]

I agree

[@gdub713]

great review just so hard to watch as he is monotone and robotic. otherwise good info. i have this same lock, its fantastic, have had it for about a year now,

[@exclusivelynyc]

Hi. Have you been able to get the Sonoff TH16 working in smartthings? The closes I've got to is turning off and on. I need the humidity and temperature to work. I updated the handler and smartapp with no joy.

[@Fly2kill1]

I know this is for one of your older projects but can I just wall mount a Galaxy tablet and use the SmartThings app just like my phone? I don’t want anything more then that. At least right now. I want to install it where my useless security panel is now. And please confirm if I am correct. I’m going to use Alexa for voice but with screens I’ll be able to use my phone, wife’s phone, echo show 5, and my family hub on the fridge. I’m trying to have everything under one app only.

[@Susie_Draga]

I am not sure if I Can pair the phone for the first time from another country?

[@Russy_Fresh]

Do you still use this lock? If not, how long did you use it and how did it hold up?

[@614theman]

Do you have the model number for the bottom door latch? Or where you bought it at?

[@RedRyz3n]

This lock and the company behind it are a huge joke. I got the U-Bolt Pro with the built in Wi-Fi the other day and set it up. This lock was replacing a broken Eufy smart lock. The first issue I had was after putting in the batteries, the lock turned on but when I placed the battery cover on it lost power. I swapped batteries and did all kinds of tweaking to get it to finally work with the cover on. Next issue was the connection. I have an WAP right next to it about 5 ft away and the damn thing just won't reliably connect (or the app is simply awful) to the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. When it connected, I could not get the finger print started and I could not set a pin without first setting a finger print. I also could not disable the auto-lock as the app crashed or did not connect to the lock. So I was stuck with a smart lock that could only open with the keys. I fought with this for an hour, then said fuck it and removed it. I emailed support and listed out all my issues and asked for a return. They agreed and told me to send it back, but I must pay for return and these assholes didn't even provide a return address, nor is that listed on their website. Since they take about 12hrs to answer an email, I must now wait for them to provide the return address. This company is an armature and sucks at basic customer service. Stay away from this one.

Hello taylor i need your help for some magic hue board can you help me ??

[@MrPiccuilla]

I have this lock its cool but I just hate when you have the door open it will lock so in order to close the door you will have to unlock the lock. For some reason it dose not have a sensor that detects if the door is open or closed

[@TaylorTech]

It's in the settings to auto lock after a certain amount of time. So, you could turn that off if you like.

Hi Taylor. Can you review a smart door knob?
