Almost best in class...just missing one big thing
I love eufy products and was really excited about this lock. It’s got a lot of pros, but one really big con....
Pros:
-East to install
-Fingerprint sensor works fairly well
-Build quality is great
-The thing looks great
-Love the many different ways to access
-The App and software features are easy to use and comprehensive
Now for the BIG con:
The lock doesn’t have WiFi or an adaptor for BLE (Bluetooth) to WiFi. This is a huge miss for a company that typically leads the way on smart home tech. As a result, you can not access the lock remotely to check its status, remotely lock/unlock it, or remotely add codes for guests. You’re also not able to connect it to a smart assistant (Alexa, Siri, or Google Assistant), which somewhat takes the “smart” out of the lock. With WiFi connectivity you could unlock (pun intended) features like IFTTT which opens up (pun #2) a whole world of possibilities.
I went ahead and bought the lock despite this because Eufy/Anker makes quality products. They have a track record of listening to feedback so I hope they make an adaptor to enable remote connectivity...if they did, this lock would be best in class.
