The Best Smart Lock Just Got Better

[@TechWithBrett]

Since the time change and a software update, the Auto Lock feature is now working as expected!

[@dnoland77]

My lock received an update 5/31/21 and after it completed auto lock, no matter your chosen time frame in the app, failed to work until the 3 minute limit was reached. After poking around their site, they recommended running the lock calibration again. Surprisingly it worked and auto lock works again. Eufy should have had this information in the firmware update notification!

[@misterlove6000]

Can I get more then one of these for my house and use the app? I want one for all four bedrooms and front door.

[@lvt9149]

Would have been better if Eufy included a small camera/speaker as well so you can see/talk to the person at your door to make it an all in one package.

[@T.O.P.S]

@@lvt9149 Why not just buy a door bell that have that option

[@lukasbarnes4905]

Hi Brett This is Lukas do you measure it before you Install it to your door? Thanks Brett

[@grimtastabod]

This thing rocks. Finally, a lock that supports keys, PIN, fingerprints, app, wifi, and bluetooth! Def adding to my wishlist. Thanks Brett!

[@ampquartz]

Claimed the same as my customers!

[@ampquartz]

My customers ordered two digital door locks right away after watching this video! Thank you so much for your video. It is super informative and easy to understand.

[@pammclaughlin9013]

This was by far one of the best review videos for any product. This review was very thorough and covered every aspect of the lock. I purchased this lock in July and love every feature about it but forgot how to find the pin that I used when setting it up in Google Home. So, I could always lock it with voice through the Google Assistant but could never unlock it through the assistant because I couldn't remember the pin. But once I watched your video it helped me to remember the pin that I set up.

[@TechWithBrett]

Thanks Pam and I'm glad it was helpful! Sometimes I even have to go back and watch my videos to remember how to do things.

[@NishadAbdulkhader]

@@TechWithBrett that's so funny 🤣

[@xavierpersal258]

That Window next to the door is so convenient.

[@dnoland77]

Update on my lock(s). I grew tired of the auto lock engaging after 3 minutes when I had intentionally left the door open (bringing in groceries) but I wanted the door to lock only when it actually closed. Since my exterior doors already have contact sensors for lights, security, & routines, I just made a routine in the alexa app to lock the door when the door is really closed. No more bolt banging on the door jam.

[@ArtOfTheWeld]

which sensors do you use ? Also do you use home assistant? If not what do you use?

[@GhostMuertos]

@@ArtOfTheWeld eufy has door sensors for like $20-$30

[@hunniemaxandtheirhumantoo3351]

I wish some one other than Yale would do a european style 3/4 point upvc deadbolt door locks. Would love to see a Eufy version

[@billmuertos]

Why are they better?

[@theblade1959]

Just looked at the specs on their website. It's drill proof and magnet proof, something I've not seen the other guys say. On a metal exterior door, this would be awesome. Thanks.

[@TechWithBrett]

I probably should have looked more into that. That's great to know!

[@littlemissmoparrrrr]

Great video! I have been researching smart locks ALL DAY and this one has everything I am looking for in a smart lock. Ordering now! 🙂

[@friend088]

After 9 months would you recommend buying this lock? I am very interested in buying it within 2 weeks or so. Thank you.

[@TenshiR]

So glad I saw this video. I was about to buy the non WiFi model of this for a delivery box. I just bought a Level lock touch earlier this week also.

[@drew2878]

i love the installation transition i had to watch it 3 times to notice the change

[@Kirbys_delights]

This just saved me so much grief! I was deciding between the Yale Nest vs Yale August. This thing is better than any of the locks I've seen. I love the fingerprint and key options!

[@champagnelake]

Just bought 2. Thanks for the review.

[@SmartHomeTech1]

If I can get Homekit I would change from my rock solid Schlage Sense as I want a fingerprint reader

[@alexfigueroa4294]

Hi! Can you use this eufy lock without pin? I don't feel safe with pin pads, is there a way to disable this feature? Just letting it work with fingerprint and key?

[@robertschwartz6321]

Brett, I saw in the video that the deadbolt will not come out when the door is open. But can the lock tell you if the door is open? Thanks.

[@TechWithBrett]

The door has a sensor that knows if it has been opened and so it won't lock until it senses the door has been shut. After a year of using the lock it has only locked once with the door open.

[@somebody655]

Easy to install and clear images.

[@user-jh1mq2ih2u]

Does it have a door sensor like august to let you know if the door is open and does it have geo fence so it unlocks once it detects your phone is near ?

[@lespugh9999]

Just ordered one after watching your video. I am looking forward to using it.

[@TechWithBrett]

Thank you! It has been. A really great device.

[@ampquartz]

Please tell us about your experience!

[@ivanwill]

This has a lot of features, especially on the security side of things. When it is cold outside, how is the response (even more so if your finger is cold)?

[@danielclark4000]

Does the lock or app indicate when battery is running low?

[@muhsin_sultan]

Presumably yes

[@pestandlawnginja]

[@axenlee3631]

Does it have the temporary code function which i can set up when i have guests over ? Without the need of downloading the app

[@PodiumTuningRacing]

Most do, I’d assume if it has the option for fingerprint it should also have the option for pin... it’s close to a standard feature nowadays with smart locks

[@kennyiklei]

Thank you sharing this video. Some smart locks come with a key to unlock the lock in case the user have forgotten the code. In this case, if the ex tenant or someone has a copy of the key, he will be able to access my house even though I’ve changed the code. Right? Please kindly advise. Thanks.

[@Mafioso1731]

1. Is it still auto locking outside of the schedule? 2. How does this fair in Canadian cold winters with moisture.. will the touch pad and finger print sensor be able to detect my finger?

[@chadjones4255]

How can this lock integrate with an existing home smarthub like HASS? Z-Wave? Zigbee? IFTTT? Can it integrate with Airbnb API for assigning new PINs?

[@Brennen_Nisporic]

Is it possible to re-key the actual physical lock? Or are you stuck with the key and hole that it comes with ?

[@maxibon204]

Is it able to be unlocked manually with the key even when the battery is dead?

[@Albertojedi]

Eufy rocks!

[@DeniseDalglish-e3u]

Hey Brett, great tutorial. One question... When my power comes back after an outage my eufy doesn't reconnect to the wifi? Is there a fix for this?

[@TechWithBrett]

When setting it back up did it give you an option to save or automatically connect to Wifi?

[@DeniseDalglish-e3u]

[@northwiebesick7136]

@@TechWithBrett so, is the eufy lock shown here, a quality brand, and do you need to have wi-fi for all the voice prompts??? I don't have internet aside from my phone, where I would be using the lock, but would love to use the google assistant, the only problem is, phone gets low signal there, and when I turn my hotspot on, it cripples phone internet in favor of the hotspot, which makes the google assistant feasible if it requires internet to work... Another question I have besides whether I need WiFi for this, is whether both models have the same rechargeable battery, and whether that special looking battery shown here is easily replaceable or not...

Hi new to all of this, What if the wifi at home disconnects? Will it still be active?

[@theeabster1983]

afternoon brett: looking for your opinion if you have one. on a traditional looking Smart Lock for the door knob portion and deadbolt that is not bulky. meaning two separate units that works in conjunction with one another, that also is secure and price reasonably of course. right now I have the wyse lock on my deadbolt. if possibly there is a door knob portion that will work with the wyze deadbolt if wyze was wise they would make a door knob Smart Lock to match because I would buy it in a heartbeat. LOL I like the idea of having two locks on the door so I don't want to just replace the bottom portion of my door knob with a non-lockable knob. as you can probably guess there's been times where I invite somebody over i go to unlock the door and the bottom lock is locked. I won't mention which dummy of the household lock the bottom lock by habit but that same dummy had to pay 80 bucks for a fee for a the technician showing up to do some work and was unable to to his work. I'll be paying that bill as soon as I get done writing this message. anyway thanks for any feedback

[@SwagSo7fly7]

But how is it compared to the lockly vision that you had on the door before I think I want the lock and the camera in one device so I’m leaning towards that

[@peterreid168]

I like the 365 dyas on the back of the box, personally I would have used the word days. Each to their own. Great product

[@mikelard]

does it have the ability to grant temporary pins .. say for an airbnb?

[@TheoFennel]

Hi Brett, would you know if this is available in the UK?

[@ccoronation]

So this only functions as a deadbolt, correct? I notice the normal door knob below the deadbolt still has a normal key. So, even with all the features of the deadbolt, you still have to use a key for the knob? I'm looking for a solution that is truly 100% keyless (even the door knob). Could you advise on how I could achieve this even for the door knob - thanks!

Even if you have a 4 digit passcode, and a thief was able to find out the 4 digits you use, it would be close to impossible to find the correct combination, and it’s not like the thief is gonna stand outside your front door the whole day trying different combinations of which there would be around 10,000 different combinations....and that’s only for 4 numbers.
