Thanks for the review. Quick question; if someone knocks on the door and I go to look through the peep hole with my phone in my pocket, will it automatically unlock or does it know I'm inside vs. outside?
Just a heads up.... You mention people having to have the app in order to access the house. If you purchase the lock and the keypad then you can verbally give out the pin codes and your guest/family do NOT need the app or a smart phone. You can also control access by selecting which days and times they are allowed to use the pin code. You can also block them from entering all together.
Hey Matt, great video, I'd like to purchase one of these. My one question is, Can you unlock this using a cellular network? 3G or 4g or LTE, if not, it needs that.
A large fraction of AMZN reviews (23% of 400+ reviews) were 1 star, with the most common complaint of poor execution of a good idea. Specifically poor reliability / not functioning / dropped connectivity. Did you experience any of these problems? At $200 for the lock and another $100 for the wifi module, can I expect flawless execution?
+Raymond Chiu, I've owned this lock for almost a year (Jan will be 1 year) and in the beginning it did have poor reliability and was annoyingly slow to connect. August has made great improvements to both the app and the firmware in the lock to address the reliability problems. My lock has been working flawlessly after the improvements. It has worked so well that I purchased a 2nd lock for another door. Android (and iOS) have Auto-Unlock feature which will unlock your door automatically when arriving home. Cool feature which I use all the time. No more fumbling for my keys or phone to unlock the door. I would highly recommend this product.
or you could also purchase the keypad that goes with this lock. then you can verbally give out a pin code for your guests and select the time frame that they are allowed to use that code to access your house.
