Keyless-Entry Fingerprint Smart Door Lock: Sifely Digital Electronic Lock with Code Passcode, Electric Door Knob, Biometric Door Handle, Perfect for Exterior/Interior/Entry/Bedroom Doors (Silver)

I love this lock. It works great - has lots of features other smart locks don’t have. It has a digital keypad and you can set it up with a code, fingerprint or card access. All work great. It also has an app so you can set it up thru the app - which is super user friendly. You can even lock and unlock the door with the app - but to use that feature more than 10 feet away I think you need to buy the gateway - for about $40. . You can set up a large number of different users and with the app you can identify them by name etc. . You can set up temporary codes - like for a repairman to access your house. I love the passage mode which lets you leave it unlocked as long as you want - this is great when have workers going in and out all day during remodeling and the like. Most smart locks let you set a delay of 2-5 minutes before it locks but don’t have this passage mode feature. Customer service is great on replying and helping.I Also love the integrated handle - some digital locks have a separate handle and they may not install right with your existing holes - so you end up with open holes exposed or having to get a new door - so be careful with that. This one for right in my existing holes and allowed me to put a separate deadbolt on top.I can’t say enough about how great this lock is. And the price is excellent. Try and buy a lock like this at Home Depot and it will cost you $300.Warning - Digital Locks and the Sun: I had bought another lock when the buttons.on my old digital lock kept getting stuck but that new lock had a problem in that batteries died in 2or 3 days. Bought it again thinking it was a lemon but the replacement had the same problem. Finally figured out it was the 2 hours of morning sun hitting my East facing door that was causing the problem. This lock does not have that problem. It’s been working great now for 2 weeks.

For reference I had Lowe's Iris before it folded, I now have Samsung Smart-things and Amazon Alexa. My house is pretty smart. I've got devices galore from lots of different generations and brands. I have the Schlage Connected Smart Keypad Z-Wave Lever. I'm pretty used to the various challenges of working with equipment like this.In all of my time doing stuff like this I have never found a single item that made me say yes like Meg Ryan in When Harry Met Sally, until now.The order. I generally lean towards sold and fulfilled by Amazon, but the steep review curve for 5 stars and the acceptable window of 3 to 5 days even though I was ordering in the wee hours of a Sunday morning was acceptable, if it was as good as people said. I got it in 2 days after the first day a person could have seen it. I have no gripes there. Amazon level of delivery and that really is the gold standard today. yes...The package. It arrived and the first thing I noticed was that it was HEAVY. Like, is this shrink wrapped bricks? Is it a slab of lead, DU? A brief shake indicated that there was only the tiniest of jingles inside it. Now I was intrigued. I opened the package which was designed and implemented like it held high end scientific devices with everything in its own perfectly sized recessed pocket in the high density closed cell foam. Nested packages were as individualized as made sense. Screws separated by stage of install and door configuration. Stick on protection for any surface of the parts that you wouldn't want scratched. Physically, the shipment, the packaging, and all of the pieces were perfect.Yes...The install. It was much easier than the Schlage. Hard to read instructions, NOPE, super easy to follow video with shots done from angles that make sense for that stage. They even include a QR code if you don't feel like typing the supplied URL. It was so easy and smooth that I really can't say anything about it. If you have a Phillips head screwdriver and thumbs you can do this. Heck, you may even be able to do it without thumbs. Test it once it's installed and you're done.YES...Setup. Now I thought, the real nightmare probably begins. For comparison, with the Schlage, to program anything you really need the home automation side. With Lowe's Iris it was bearable but usually if I wanted to push changes to it I had to demount it and walk it over closer to the hub. It frequently required multiple attempts and sometimes ended up in a worse configuration as it wiped ones I wanted to keep and didn't load ones I did. Smart-things is even worse. Third party IDEs to interface and cobbled together rats nests of code. I use this part to do this, but that part to do that, this one only runs in Classic, that one runs in the new version unless you want to do this other thing then you have to run in classic... That's not the case here. Download one easy to find App from the app store. It's the only one and it's obvious. Again there's a video along with another QR code to get to it. I must confess that I didn't watch it. I opened the App. Login or Register? I guess register. Yup. Phone number, uh huh. SMS code came in, yup. Touch the knob to put it in pairing mode, ok. Oh it's paired and done and I'm in? That's pretty straight forward.Ohhhh...Configuration. Let's see what we've got here. Plainly legible and easily navigable? Pleasantly surprising, clean and clear. I'm tingly. Ok, I see pass codes lets check that out. Standard 3 dot drop down menu add, clear, etc. Add. Permanent. Wow that was crazy intuitive. Finger prints? I could go on, but seriously coming from other systems I can say that it is literally the most clean and intuitive FUNCTIONAL UI I have ever worked with. EVERYTHING is where and how you would think it should be. Everything that can be done with it is simple to implement with explanations available where you might need it, voice prompts, etc...YES YES YES YES!!!!In short, I love it. If you are looking to smarten up your entry control at a good price with no hassle, then you should have what he's having, Sifely.
