Crackin price on the Eufy Smart Lock Touch Wifi version (thanks to a c3 alert]

And since it always get asked:

Is this easy to install? Yes, if you are replacing an existing deadbolt all you need is a screwdriver. (Note that this isn't a deadbolt in that there is no way to stop it being unlocked from the inside). If you have a mortise lock this wont work for you. If you aren't replacing, it'll be a little more work. You can get door lock install kits from the hardware store to help, or just leave it to the professionals.

Can I install it on (insert door here)? The locks work with door thickness between 35mm and 55mm. and a backset of 60mm or 70mm. If you can work with that, good chance the answer is yes.

Do I need Wifi/Bluetooth/Phone etc to unlock? No, once set up the lock will work independently with fingerprint or PIN whether it has internet or not.

What if the battery is flat? There is a USB port you can plug a powerbank into for emergency power if you ignore all the notifications that your battery is going flat and should be recharged.

Homekit? No.

Home Assistant? Yes, though depends on your installation as to how difficult to set up.

      Meh the difference between a good lock and bad lock to him is an extra 30 seconds to get it open. If someone wants into your house they will just break something quickly. Pick one you like the look and convenience of, security is all show anyways.

    • bamzero on 07/11/2022 - 00:33
      +2

      You can use this integration but with some caveats. If you are using HassOS or Supervised with the add-on store it should be pretty straight forward as you can use that to install the required eufy security websockets addon. If you are running Core, you'll need to manually set it up (uses nodejs.)

      • booboo on 07/11/2022 - 01:37

        Sweet, thanks. I since saw a review suggesting that integration. It says it doesn't work offline (needs to connect to eufy cloud servers). But that's fine - if you're offline you can still unlock the house

        • bamzero on 07/11/2022 - 02:08
          +1

          It should work offline too though you'll need cloud to set up. This is the backend that the HA integration uses. It mentions local and remote connectivity.

          I'm not using it at the moment but did try it out. Worked ok for basic features, though every now and again would be a little slow to recognise changes in the state
          Doesn't seem as smooth an integration than say the T-Locks on Zigbee, those work great with HA.

      I'm using this with Home Assistant.
      There is/was an issue where changing alarm state in eufy would cause the lock to stop updating in HA but it's either been fixed or I permanently made a workaround using HA. I forget which. It's a great lock, awesome battery life too.

    • Squirtle on 06/11/2022 - 23:46

      A mesh door is maybe well the lock's door thickness requirement.
      About installation if your current door already has a deadbolt and no strangely position handle (like right on top of the bolt) then it is 10 minutes job top.

    I have one on my pedestrian gate annoys me though when dumb ass delivery drivers can’t work out how to use it. You think they would see them around. I integrate it with a eufy video doorbell so I can open it from my phone while viewing the video feed.

    • No Child Support on 07/11/2022 - 10:10

      So youre expecting a driver, who has a million things to deliver, take time out of his day to youtube/google instruction on how to operate a smart lock? Sounds a bit precious to me

      • Davbar24 on 07/11/2022 - 13:29

        They have a responsibility to make sure it’s left in a safe place not outside the gate in the rain.I have a sign on the gate with full instructions. It literally takes 10 seconds or they can ring the doorbell and I unlock it.

      Get the Wifi version - being able to get alerts on who is accessing and remotely checking status is great - I lock it remotely when I have forgotten to do so before leaving (or one of the family members forgets)

                  @StephBlanks: They could do that in our house anyway as we usually go out through the garage. Even if we took the keys from the door when we went out, a burglar could just go via the garage door to do his dash.

                    @alteclan: Some insurance providers only provide a discount if DeadBolts are fitted and used.
                    Implication being, if all external doors, including to garage have dead-bolts fitted, it makes it a little more difficult to remove bulky items (assuming spare keys are not easily obtained).
                    This originated when most break-ins occurred via windows (likely still the case, not up to date with current stats).

                    Dead-bolt, meaning you can't unlock without a key, even from the in-side. Yes there are safety concerns\fire ect.. why you should never activate dead-bolts when people are in-side.

                    • csider on 07/11/2022 - 17:23

                      @UltimateAI: Fair enough. I clearly didn't know the definition of a dead bolt.

                      To be sure, this is not a dead bolt.

                    • TheContact on 07/11/2022 - 18:03

                      @UltimateAI: Is there documentation that that is exactly what they consider a deadbolt? From my understanding, deadbolt refers to the bolt being "dead" and not spring loaded and having to be manually engaged/disengaged.

                      • UltimateAI on 07/11/2022 - 18:07

                        @TheContact: I did mis-lead you, insurance documentation is much clearer and will state something along the lines of "Key-Operated Dead-Bolts"
                        They will all state "key-operated", some may also specify specific standards or the number of cylinders.

                    • UltimateAI on 07/11/2022 - 18:09

                      @UltimateAI: Correction: For the insurance discount you require a "KEY-OPERATED" dead-bolt, I should have been clearer.

                      • TheContact on 07/11/2022 - 18:36

                        @UltimateAI: Even just key operated leaves leeway for being single cylinder and unlocked with a knob on the inside.

                  @StephBlanks: I raised this with the post for the other version and got solidly negged for it. It is an issue because that makes its far easier for burglars to get big or awkward stuff out of your house. So a greater loss.

                      @atlas: You understand that not every house in Australia is built like yours? Some may not have a garage, or not attached to the house. I know amazing! We don't all live in suburbia.

                      • atlas on 07/11/2022 - 12:00

                        @wfdTamar: Yes and so? The point to be made is that a lot of homes have multiple points of entry. Unless they are all secured from the inside by key and you then secure those keys properly, it's actually not such a big deal that this can be opened from the inside. Your home is only as secure as it's weakest link.

                        And if they have time and are willing to take big bulky things then it's probably GG anyway.

                          So? Put a proper deadlock on any external door. Lockwood 001 is a good example. Only needs to be deadlocked if no-ones home. Simple and effective. There’s a digital version of it, but it’s not smart (wifi enabled).

                      @atlas: Insurance companies that offer discounts for Dead-bolts, usually require them on all windows and doors, that includes internal doors to the garage.
                      Some actually require a mesh security door on the internal door to the garage to get the discount.
                      Otherwise a dead-bolt on the garage (yes you can get them to activate when you go on holidays, not designed for every day use).
                      I'm not going to talk about the effectiveness, that's for the insurance companies and Police.
                      PS: Only a small percentage of the population quality for the key discounts.

      I have an electronic lock on my internal garage door too but it's the T-Lock without fingerprint. Having to enter PIN to get in would be a pain though, so it unlocks automatically via Home Assistant (after we open the roller door and we are detected as home).

      Short of it is, had the T-Lock first but if didn't have it automated I would gladly use a Eufy there for fingerprint access. The kids use front door so Eufy is there as wanted fingerprint for that.

      • HotPie on 07/11/2022 - 16:01

        Nice setup. 👍

  • purple1 on 07/11/2022 - 00:10

    A built-in sensor detects when your door is closed

    The reviews on Youtube & Amazon says otherwise? Has there been an update from Eufy?
    Pretty useless if the lock can't even tell if the door is open or closed.

    • csider on 07/11/2022 - 01:10

      The detection has gotten better since I got mine 2 years ago, but it's not a big deal as you can set it to auto lock after 3 minutes.

      • purple1 on 07/11/2022 - 01:28

        What if the door is still open after 3 minutes? Will the lock be able to tell that the door is open? Or will it just auto lock with the door still open?

        • bamzero on 07/11/2022 - 01:54
          +3

          The open door detection is over-engineered. It uses a geo-magnetic sensor to work out what position the door is in. I would have preferred a simple reed switch and magnet and installed into the frame, probably would have been more accurate too rather than triggering when the door is still slightly ajar.
          Mine doesn't work properly (had to constantly recalibrate, have given up on it now), though many others say it works fine.

          After 3 minutes, the door locks regardless of position.

      Definitely not easy to install, probably have to pay anywhere from $150 - $250 on Airtasker app for a locksmith or a handy man if you want to get it done professionally.

        Not true. There are standards when it comes to how you're meant to install deadbolts. If your door has an existing Deadbolt it's literally a 10 minute job. That's what I did.

        I installed myself, not hard. Took half a day including patching afterwards. This was because I didn't have an existing deadbolt (had a dead latch instead) so I had to drill holes etc on the door frame and door.

      If you have a current dead bolt lock style lock (similar position/style to one pictured) and a little know how on the tools, you should be fine just by following a YouTube video. You may wish to measure your hole before ordering, but there are normally universal. As shown in the video if you have a 60 or 70mm hole, then it's straight forward. If you don't have a dead bolt lock, then you'll need to drill or pay someone.
