      a draft closed the door on me while i was installing... luckily i was most of the way done (had connected the wires inside, just hadnt screwed anything together) and was able to unlock it with the app.

      fuck you can barely do that when you are right next to the damn thing, when my daughter wants to come in my office and she knocks I go to the app to unlock and she is sitting there banging on the door and I'm waiting for the Bluetooth to connect and half the time I'm sitting there and annoyed cause it's just faster to get up and open it but it shouldn't take that long and me having to point my phone right at the doorknob to connect I've never seen such a shitty Bluetooth connection

      It should have some way to unlock it from the inside or how smart is that? My worry is should you fill up all 20 options for fingerprints before someone you don’t trust hacks into your bluetooth / wifi and puts theirs in?

    Why not on an exterior front door? This is the 2nd review in a row where they said they aren't going to install it on their front door. Does it lock itself every time it's closed?

    • @paulanderegg5536
      @paulanderegg5536 8 місяців тому

      Because anyone can google the lock, download the app, and PAIR AND ADD THEIR FINGERPRINT OR CONTROL IT without any form of authentication. As you saw him ADD the device, anyone can simply do the same with acess only ot the OUTSIDE knob. Good enough to keep a toddler out of a room, but a preteen could figure this out in a heartbeat.
