A very thorough and in depth video! I dont know, nor need, a smart lock but your videos are always worth a watch, you come across as a very open and cheeky chappy, always entertaining!

Thanks for the kind words. I record things as I find them and help where I can. And it has to be a bit entertaining too or I'll bore myself 😁

Great timing, I was just looking at smart locks at Bunnings yesterday. This looks better than what they had.

I have looked at all of those too Adam. Either they were super expensive, hard to install, used weird power, didn't have the features I want, or something else. I never found one I liked there, so this seems to fit all the requirements. Consider using my affiliate link if you get one 😊

Wow its pretty big , colleague grabbed an $90.00 chinese special off Ebay 6 months ago , low profile includes key pad , solid metal construction, easy install and works with automation systems. He said apparently its working well.

Sure thing, there are many options out there. Does it also work with any kind of lock and door? What kind of "automation systems" does it integrate with? Got a link?

Love it. Have one myself but I wouldn't recommend it on a door with a glass.

I'm really intrigued, with the nfc feature could a guests phone be set as a card? I think that would be the thing that would make me get the keypad. Also loved the t-shirt (& it was pointed out to me by a smaller viewer that you weren't using an LTT screwdriver 🤣)
@LarsKlintTech
Ай бұрын
No, it doesn't allow just any NFC card it seems. I tried with my Unifi NFC card, and it wouldn't accept it. And you would need to then pair the guest phone with the keypad, which makes it kinda defeat the purpose of contactless checkin. Yes, I have integrity and respect other people, so wouldn't use that rubbish.

@@LarsKlintTech ah boo thanks for trying. Can you use NFC on your phone to unlock it though? (Was thinking that would be great when I go out without my keys if I didn't have to open home assistant/switchbot app to unlock it)

to get it to sync to home assistant via bluetooth do you have to have your raspberry pi within range of the lock im guessing?

You do, and if that isn't enough range, check out Bluetooth proxies too: kzitem.info/news/bejne/yquKu4WJaWabepg

I've only had it for a couple of weeks, but the marketing says 9 months. That is one bank of batteries , so you then have time to replace them.
