Review on Xiaomi Smart Door Lock E - XMZNMS04LM by Wiktor Ambroziak ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The product is usable, I expected a bit more.

I am writing a review in a year, i. E. only two years in operation. According to claim 1 of the shortcomings: I almost solved the problem. I dismantled the mechanical block to the screw, found the problem - it is really a design one! One metal moving part rubs against the other with an edge, as a result, both parts are erased into powder over time and the lock wedges. I solved the problem by sawing out a similar part from a workpiece using a set of files. It turned out almost well - the lock opens, wedges a little, but it works. I'll leave it like that for now. Maybe in the future I will buy a new one and make one out of two. P.2: the forum reports that after ating the firmware of the lock and the application itself, this problem is gone, but I have not tried it myself. P.3: after ating the application, automation appeared - the ability to link other smart devices to the chain of events. But the door can't be opened remotely either. P.4: after ating the application, the notifications became in English. P.5 and P.6 remained unchanged. A lot of people suffer with the lock settings, I help on the forum to whom I can. In general, I changed the rating of the castle from 1* to 3*.

Pros
  • Design Works in the cold (I have it on the outside street door).
Cons
  • 1. It broke down on the 13th month of use (12 months warranty) - the mechanical part of the lock failed. I bought in Rumikom (they could not help), the official SC also shrugged. Ended up replacing the lock. But I ordered a door for him for 100 thousand . 2. Very poorly added to MiHome. It took half a day and 10 factory resets. 3. Smart in it is only a fingerprint, no automation can be tied to it (for example, automatic opening when some condition is met). 4. All notifications are in fierce Chinese, nothing is clear. 5. The password can be set to at least 6 characters. Why not 20? . In fact, 3 would really be enough. 6. Not a single sane instruction in 2022. It took 4 days to figure out how to flip the handle on it.
