My lock received an update 5/31/21 and after it completed auto lock, no matter your chosen time frame in the app, failed to work until the 3 minute limit was reached. After poking around their site, they recommended running the lock calibration again. Surprisingly it worked and auto lock works again. Eufy should have had this information in the firmware update notification!
Would have been better if Eufy included a small camera/speaker as well so you can see/talk to the person at your door to make it an all in one package.
My customers ordered two digital door locks right away after watching this video! Thank you so much for your video. It is super informative and easy to understand.
This was by far one of the best review videos for any product. This review was very thorough and covered every aspect of the lock. I purchased this lock in July and love every feature about it but forgot how to find the pin that I used when setting it up in Google Home. So, I could always lock it with voice through the Google Assistant but could never unlock it through the assistant because I couldn't remember the pin. But once I watched your video it helped me to remember the pin that I set up.
Just looked at the specs on their website. It's drill proof and magnet proof, something I've not seen the other guys say. On a metal exterior door, this would be awesome. Thanks.
Update on my lock(s). I grew tired of the auto lock engaging after 3 minutes when I had intentionally left the door open (bringing in groceries) but I wanted the door to lock only when it actually closed. Since my exterior doors already have contact sensors for lights, security, & routines, I just made a routine in the alexa app to lock the door when the door is really closed. No more bolt banging on the door jam.
This just saved me so much grief! I was deciding between the Yale Nest vs Yale August. This thing is better than any of the locks I've seen. I love the fingerprint and key options!
Hi! Can you use this eufy lock without pin? I don't feel safe with pin pads, is there a way to disable this feature? Just letting it work with fingerprint and key?
Thank you sharing this video. Some smart locks come with a key to unlock the lock in case the user have forgotten the code. In this case, if the ex tenant or someone has a copy of the key, he will be able to access my house even though I’ve changed the code. Right? Please kindly advise. Thanks.
1. Is it still auto locking outside of the schedule? 2. How does this fair in Canadian cold winters with moisture.. will the touch pad and finger print sensor be able to detect my finger?
Does it have a door sensor like august to let you know if the door is open and does it have geo fence so it unlocks once it detects your phone is near ?
Hey Brett, love your videos. Can you do a full Fire TV Stick setup and how you have your entertainment system/home theater setup? Would be great! Big Fan!
@@TechWithBrett so, is the eufy lock shown here, a quality brand, and do you need to have wi-fi for all the voice prompts??? I don't have internet aside from my phone, where I would be using the lock, but would love to use the google assistant, the only problem is, phone gets low signal there, and when I turn my hotspot on, it cripples phone internet in favor of the hotspot, which makes the google assistant feasible if it requires internet to work... Another question I have besides whether I need WiFi for this, is whether both models have the same rechargeable battery, and whether that special looking battery shown here is easily replaceable or not...
This lock is good but lately it will not connect with WiFi 6 netgear orbi router. Another frustration for me is that the lock gets jammed often. The finger print and and pin is awesome.
The door has a sensor that knows if it has been opened and so it won't lock until it senses the door has been shut. After a year of using the lock it has only locked once with the door open.
I was actually search on TH-cam for this lock, I did made mistake I purchase whole package two 2C PRO cameras, doorbell and lock, why mistake because doorbell and lock with out WiFi, then called Yufy and replace my order with the once I needed. Now I am waiting for solar panels for 2CPRO cameras so I can install it. Maybe on next video you can show how to install 2C PRO cameras with solar panels from Yufy. Plus do review on them. Thanks for video
Is this capable of using your phones GPS to lock and unlock as you leave or come home? I am debating between this lock or the Yale smart lock. Please help me make up my mind. Thanks!
This has a lot of features, especially on the security side of things. When it is cold outside, how is the response (even more so if your finger is cold)?
afternoon brett: looking for your opinion if you have one. on a traditional looking Smart Lock for the door knob portion and deadbolt that is not bulky. meaning two separate units that works in conjunction with one another, that also is secure and price reasonably of course. right now I have the wyse lock on my deadbolt. if possibly there is a door knob portion that will work with the wyze deadbolt if wyze was wise they would make a door knob Smart Lock to match because I would buy it in a heartbeat. LOL I like the idea of having two locks on the door so I don't want to just replace the bottom portion of my door knob with a non-lockable knob. as you can probably guess there's been times where I invite somebody over i go to unlock the door and the bottom lock is locked. I won't mention which dummy of the household lock the bottom lock by habit but that same dummy had to pay 80 bucks for a fee for a the technician showing up to do some work and was unable to to his work. I'll be paying that bill as soon as I get done writing this message. anyway thanks for any feedback
It was a nice video, I have a question, if I just allow my lock connect to my Google Home Hub but not the Internet, does it still work with the Google Home Assistance?
Most do, I’d assume if it has the option for fingerprint it should also have the option for pin... it’s close to a standard feature nowadays with smart locks
But how is it compared to the lockly vision that you had on the door before I think I want the lock and the camera in one device so I’m leaning towards that
This smart lock is so versatile im really going to consider buying this one, im currently on the market to buy one. Does anyone know of any smart lock that i can lock or unlock it by using my apple watch. Kind of like they do at some hotels.
Hi. Can you please help me? I have a security door. And you need just half a turn to open it. But to completely lock it it needs 3 complete turns. Do this lock manage to do that?
Brett, sorry, but I still was not able to understand if we are able to download the user log list. Can we download it to a file (csv or table) with the eufy?
Hi Brett. I just ordered my Eufy Smartlock with you Amazon link. Is there anything I need to do to get the extra battery you mentioned at the end of your video? Thanks for all the help. This Eufy lock is one of the final pieces to complete my very smart home.
I do prefer Eufy. Everything is just put together much better and with this having everything in one it is the complete package. I had lots of issues with the Lockly Secure Pro and it's smart home integration. Lockly does have so pretty neat features but is missing simple features like scheduled Auto Lock.
@@TechWithBrett When I was comparing basic features like locking and unlocking, I noticed from your videos with Eufy you have to press the small lock icon whereas Lockly you can wave your hand over the panel. Is that true?
Does it have push back settings? For locks that have a ”spring” so they are always locked unless you push a little pin in. Thats the lock I have and that push back setting exists in my Danalock vr 3 that I would like to replace with eufy.
Should we trust a product from a company that can't spell check their work before they print it on the box and release it to the market? Still exciting to finally see a smart-lock that doesn't require a use of a bridge though
@@TechWithBrett Nest Yale lock X is solid but this more looks like the future with all those method of unlocking the Yale lock also doesn't allow you to voice unlock for security.. But this lock ask you for a pin as a second layer of security and the nest yale lock kinda old now
How well does this integrate with the EUFY doorbell? When someone presses the doorbell, can i seamlessly let someone in from the doorbell view or do I have fumble and switch to another part of the app?
So this only functions as a deadbolt, correct? I notice the normal door knob below the deadbolt still has a normal key. So, even with all the features of the deadbolt, you still have to use a key for the knob? I'm looking for a solution that is truly 100% keyless (even the door knob). Could you advise on how I could achieve this even for the door knob - thanks!
Hi, do you know if there is any integration between the smart lock and the doorbell? Can you unlock the lock while viewing the doorbell? This would be a great feature!
Eufy's site has been OOS for awhile now. It seems that they have been sending the vast majority of their stock to amazon, where I bought mine for $220.
can this be connected with the ring app? right now i can see the front door camera and i can unlock it my schlage from the same screen without opening another app.
What about camera? If it has remote unlocking It need camera which is missing big flaw & also what about iOS support? What about tempered alarm? If someone is trying to break Front unit is not secure enough it needs 4 corners screws from back plate
This has the wifi Bridge built in so no need to have an extra device plugged in somewhere. The other model is the Bluetooth only and the bridge connects it to wifi.
Nice video and thank you for taking the time - once issue that would concern me is unlike a normal lock which is basically flat on the outside especially WHAT is to stop someone with a BIG hammer was to hit the top of it and break it from the door to have access to the bolt?
Has anyone found any surface mount smart locks? My backdoor is too thin to mount a standard plunger and currently has a surface mounted deadbolt. I have Eufy Smart Touch locks for my other exterior doors (and I like Eufy).
Since the time change and a software update, the Auto Lock feature is now working as expected!
My lock received an update 5/31/21 and after it completed auto lock, no matter your chosen time frame in the app, failed to work until the 3 minute limit was reached. After poking around their site, they recommended running the lock calibration again. Surprisingly it worked and auto lock works again. Eufy should have had this information in the firmware update notification!
Can I get more then one of these for my house and use the app? I want one for all four bedrooms and front door.

After 9 months would you recommend buying this lock? I am very interested in buying it within 2 weeks or so. Thank you.
Just looked at the specs on their website. It's drill proof and magnet proof, something I've not seen the other guys say. On a metal exterior door, this would be awesome. Thanks.
I probably should have looked more into that. That's great to know!
Lock picking lawyer, hold my beer. I expect him to show how to bypass this soon
I'm looking into it as well.

Easy to install and clear images.
Does the lock or app indicate when battery is running low?
Presumably yes
Brett, I saw in the video that the deadbolt will not come out when the door is open. But can the lock tell you if the door is open? Thanks.
The door has a sensor that knows if it has been opened and so it won't lock until it senses the door has been shut. After a year of using the lock it has only locked once with the door open.
How can this lock integrate with an existing home smarthub like HASS? Z-Wave? Zigbee? IFTTT? Can it integrate with Airbnb API for assigning new PINs?
man those things are big and chunky been looking for a smart lock the Nest X Yale seems to be the one I keep coming back to.

Excellent review! Thank you!
Hi Brett, would you know if this is available in the UK?
Does it have the temporary code function which i can set up when i have guests over ? Without the need of downloading the app
Most do, I’d assume if it has the option for fingerprint it should also have the option for pin... it’s close to a standard feature nowadays with smart locks
I was loving this and then no Smartthings. Still think it might be one of the best options though.
Are back up batteries available? I saw a comment on Amazon about poor battery charge
