    Glad to have found this video.. I was looking to purchase this previously on launch but had held off because it didn't originally come with the cylinder knob adapter and had compatiblity issues with the stock unit on my lock (round knob). One other person with the same issue removed the knob and put a long M2.5 screw through the lock shaft as a level to make it work but that's an ugly hack.
    The switchbot makes sense for us here due to new regulations requiring fire rated main doors so fitting an electronic mortise set is technically illegal if you have to cut new holes in the door - the alternative is to replace with a new fire rated door cut for the electronic mortise lockset ~US$700+ at the least for the door.
    Electronic locksets also need to be certified to be both able to act as firestop and to automatically unlock when detecting high temperatures to ease escape unless there's a manual knob override.
    Using the switchbot lock would allow us to skirt this since the original lockset is still in place and the door installation will meet regulations - we would just be adding a smart 'hand' to turn the knob.

    thanks for the video, I have a question though, is it possible when unlocking the door, to keep open in a way I just have to push it from outside the door ? I'm asking that cause from out side my door I cannot open with the doot handle, I need a key, I can use the door hanlde only from inside, so basically I need a key everytime I need to open the door from outside.
    So it its possible to keep the door open when using the switchbot app to unlock then its good for me

Also, thank you for making me spit my drink all over my screen 🤣 I ended up using the device on my rear entrance knob as it was a tighter fit and my GF much prefers that method of entry.

    I think you said knob a few too many times lol. Maybe we need a different word :) These style locks that don't require anything on the outside and thus using existing keys are great, and from the outside no one would even know it is a smart-lock.
    I am looking forward to this being added to Home Assistant and having local control, but I think we will be waiting for Switchbot to make it Homekit compatible before we get that. I am currently using a fairly old August lock and it has worked great, but the price of August made me look to Switchbot. I use a clunky home assistant triggering a routine on the smart speaker as a work around for now.

      Indeed, you need to check your own lock. Some are fine.

    This device would have abysmal WAF here.
    How cheaper it is compared to a proper smart bolt lock anyway?

    6:28 why would you want a feature on the locks app, idealy you shouldnt ever need the app for anything but initial setup and troubleshooting homeassistant, (or whatever hub) should handle all of the control logic for such devices.

    If anyone is interested, I made an extension for the Switchbot Lock. It lets you use it on locks that have a recessed knob that the normal part can't reach. Made a video about it here: th-cam.com/video/dwaqqWMg-p8/w-d-xo.html

    Personally I feel this is far too bulky and is not something I would buy. Maybe if you're renting, it might be an option, but I'd still swap out a proper lock and put the original back in if I needed to .
    The only good option in the UK, for a multipoint lock is the Yale Conexis L1. It's far from perfect, the main problem being it can be finicky to setup, but once that's done it works a treat.

      I assume you still have to manually pull the lever up before the lock will function on the Yale

      @@n00ndawg Yes, but when you pull the lever up, it automatically locks. I don't think there's any way around having to pull the lever up with a multipoint lock.

    Honestly, I purchased this lock and I have it paired with their smart hub and it just takes so long to connect that I usually manually open the door with my key. The software is really janky and I don't recommend it at all.
    Other issues arise when my partner is added to the home and sometimes it would not show up on her phone.
