I find making sure the lock works fully smoothly before removing the old lock is the best way to do this. These do get out of alignment over time as houses/buildings move a bit over time, so especially older buildings end up with locks out of alignment. Many of us compensate by pushing on a door to get it to lock properly. It is more common than you'd think when retrofitting.
I have two August locks (because they were the cleanest retrofit while keeping it looking original on the outside (building corporation rubbish)) and both of the locks needed some alignment work to get them to work smoothly before swapping to the smart locks.
Calibration is mostly used to determine which way is locked, as depending what side the lock is on, locked and unlocked could be opposite :)
This is a really great point. Thank you Brendan! I'll work that into future tutorials!
@@TechYourLife1please i wnat to contact you
very thorough walkthrough! especially appreciated 13:00 when you discuss how the tiny screws dont feel like they catch until the very end
Brian my compliments to you on this video specifically you seem to be the only one that took the time to note (indirectly) that Aqara's app actually walks one through the physical installation of the lock (something I haven't see else where)! Thus pretty much making it brain dead to install!!
😃👍 just happy to help folks!
Just the video i was looking for thank you
Glad I could help!
I like your door setup!
Why thank you sir! A good local guy made it for me :)
Hello! Great video! If you have TV (hardware, box), don’t you need its proprietary hub (optional)?
Hey there, I have a door With approximately a hole diameter of 2.5 inches and the same goes for the backset. Will this be a problem? Should not imo
The guide is right in this video. Just pause at the right spot
will this work with a backset of 2.5 inches and a hole diameter of 2.5 inches. Those are the approximate measurements of my front door
Thanks for the video! It looks like if I try doing any Alexa automations, I'm limited to only locking it. Even with the settings to allow Alexa to unlock it. Any suggestions? Am I missing something?
Can i turn off the NFC function and only use the Apple Home Kit Key?
My neighbor watches our house when we're gone, but I'd like his pin code to work only when we're away. (He has a nasty habit of barging in unannounced, especially when my wife is home alone.) Is this an option here? Thank you
Yeah, it's something you could turn on and off. I think you'd have to delete the pin code though, so it's not an automated use case
Get another neighbour or you’re in for a surprise. 😂
Do you need wifi to setup the lock or can you just do it via Bluetooth?
It's Bluetooth and ZigBee, so no WiFi. If I remember correctly
What is the distance between the mounting holes in the aqara u100 lock
I have no idea what you're asking unfortunately. You'll have to ask Aqara support
At 7:08 - Why couldn't you just move the lock body up or down to accommodate the deadbolt after the door jam hole was corrected for the size of the deadbolt? As you had at least 20mm of room to play with either way, by the looks of it.. just curious.
Wrong type of hole. Square hole, round peg...or something like that
I bought this from a guy and I'm trying to reset this thing and there doesn't appear to be a way unless I get a password or fingerprint from the original guy but this last guy was the second owner and that's why he sold it to me wtf. Is there a way to hard reset
Ask Aqara's support team. I'm sure there's a full factory reset somewhere
There is a button inside the panel on the inside of the door lock
I want to contact you for video editing
