One thing @paulhibbert mentioned was the "distress" fingerprint which will notify others of a "being forced to unlock". Also worth mentioning is that IIRC the hub only allows 4 devices.
@@notenoughtech I have it and it's not available in the Switchbot bluetooth integration yet. But I do have it in Home Assistant via Matter. All you get is lock, unlock and state though. Hopefully it's in the Switchbot integration soon so we can get more entities like the battery info.
The only issue I have with this lock is the thickness of it. It is 2 - 3 cm thicker that other locks, which makes a huge difference. Not only that it looks like a big box hanging on your door, depending on handle position it gets in the way of opening the door. Even the previous version is about 1 cm thinner.
Hi, great video thanks. I have a question and I would be glad if u answer my question. After installation is it still possible to use our old physical key to open the door?
@@notenoughtech but when you insert the key from inside the way of the lock will be locked. Then, u can insert the physical key from the outside but can't move it neither lock nor unlock. At least this is how it works in the locks in my country. Thank you.
Great content. Did you test it in terms of security? So, capturing the open and close door signal and replicating it using a flipper zero (for instance) to see if it works? Thanks
You can clone the NFC tag. That would be the easiest from of hacking. The Comms are encrypted so you are not going to easily replicate Bluetooth signal. Considering that I can pick 5 pins locks myself... Smart locks are not the weakest link. As an advantage if picked it I'd get notification that lock got opened. Which isn't the case if you just have a dumb lock

This is more related to the keypad touch - I covered emergency fingerprints in the SwitchBot Lock.

To be fair.. I gotten used to this. I barely notice this no more.

Yes of course

You don't use a key on the inside. There are adapters to latch to the lock on the outside and unlock for you.

@@notenoughtech thanks :)
Is this available in Home Assistant?
You can expose it via switchbot API
Thanks Mat.
Thanks for watching
