I’m Shocked How Well This Worked | SwitchBot Smart Lock

The SwitchBot Lock is the easiest lock i've ever installed and is loaded with features. Also, pairing it up with the SwitchBot Keypad makes it even better.

Excellent review. Answered every question I had before pulling the trigger.

[LoveMusic-lmnp]

Does this slam auto lock When the door closes? So u don’t have to lift the door handle up to lock it

[jamalkhalid]

Amazing lock. I am just worried since I would be using it in an apartment. If for some reason the lock fails to open, and the key is inserted from the inside, the outside inserted key doesn’t even turn. Then you are locked out :(

Any way around that?

[matt_blake]

Do you need the hub to be able to use it with Alexa and Google?

[TNRonin]

You mentioned too NFC tags with the main body, are those usable with the keypad?

[lexxcherii]

I love the video ! So detailed, thank you ! Plan on being this. Def cost efficient 🥹🥹 and renter friendly. Love the finger scan option

[clive]

Can't open the shed to get my screwdriver...the lock is buggerd .🤣🍺🍺🍺🍺

[monap]

What if the pairing NEVER finds the app AND there is NO QR code to scan??

[niravniel]

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

[sknokaze]

so if your door is steel made, will it still work like charm? the keypad could still signal the lock to open for you?

[HHHorea]

if you want, you can open doors and locks without google asking for a pin

[epatube]

Has anybody been able to enable day-hour based PINs? I need the following

Create Permanent PIN - Access Code - NFC Card or Tag
Create Termporary PIN - Access Code - NFC Card or Tag
MISSING Create Hour Based PIN - Access Code - NFC Card or Tag

The Hour Based PIN should enable the start date, the end date and then a calendar to select

Monday, start hour - minutes, end hour minutes - or Disable Monday
Tuesday, start hour - minutes, end hour minutes - or Disable Tuesday
etc etc

How hard and how much time would it taken the swtichbot team to put in a wifi module for 7bucks from example adafruit. Its a a fucking joke that u need to a mini hub that works on IR.

[tinostarks]

bah, I bought all this stuff, u can't unlock it via an alexa routine, u can only lock it.

[gauntletwielder]

No, I do not like that lock. Why? Because the lock and keypad both use nonstandard batteries. Exactly what type of batteries are those? No mention of that minor detail. Better hope Amazon does not run out of those batteries. I never seen those batteries at a brick & mortar store. If those were AA or AAA batteries, I would have already ordered the lock. Those batteries are a deal breaker for me.

I'm shocked by this review. This lock is hideous! The materials look cheap and aesthetically it's awful. You do great videos but I'm starting to question whether or not paid sponsorships are influencing your reviews now. Shame-shame-shame.

These cheap knock-off deadbolts need to be banned. It’s not a Nest.

The Nest was originally created by a guy that worked at Apple. The build quality is fantastic. And it works. That’s why my home uses Nest products - Apple. This is not a Nest.
