Review on Smart door lock A100 Zigbee by Wiktor Winiewski ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The quality is at the highest level, be sure to try it.

I am quite content that I finally decided to buy this lock (which I ordered from China at a price reduction of 15,000 yuan for delivery in July 2022). They used it in place of two locks that were not "smart" for two days (the reason it took them that long was partly related to the fact that they were not yet ready for a set of tools). As a consequence of this, they were able to effectively deliver; as a result, all of the existing holes in the door have been closed with overlays, which in reality are larger than I anticipated. I was able to connect Aqara in the Chinese region without any issues (there is simply no such lock in the 2022), and a lock was added to Homekit along with a Homekey key. You may access the lock by using an iPhone (from the XR and higher) or an Apple Watch (from the series 4 and above). I also added multiple users to the native application simultaneously and configured their fingerprints. The new method for opening the lock is as simple as singing a song: you only have to hold the handle, make sure your finger is already on the scanner, and the lock will immediately recognize it. After that, all you have to do to open the lock is pull the handle all the way down. The lock may be opened using digital codes that can be customized to a variety of settings (time codes, schedules, etc.). Additionally, it may be opened through the native application (provided that a direct connection is established via Bluetooth) or via Homekit (in order to use Homekit, you will need a gateway for the lock, as I have the E1 model), both of which are sold separately. Lifting the handle all the way up allows you to lock the door, which is another highly helpful feature. There are two actual keys included in the set; the mechanism for one of them is concealed behind the plug; nonetheless, you should not remove them in case of an emergency. Tags for near-field communication (NFC) are not included but can be ordered separately from the manufacturer. The overall functionality of the castle is quite extensive, consisting of a wide variety of scenarios, alarms, and automated processes. Unlockable options for both the large wagon and the smaller cart. The castle is beautiful to look at. The purchase has exceeded my expectations in every way.

Pros
  • - Attractive - Simple to install - Practical to use - You can connect directly, or you can connect through a zigby gateway - Multiple access points available
Cons
  • - You are unable to connect to MiHome since it works through the Chinese server Aqara; installation instructions are only available in the form of a video. As a result, I had to deal with a lot of the issues on my own.
