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!!

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 :)

Hello! Great video! If you have  TV (hardware, box), don’t you need its proprietary hub (optional)?

@user-hv9ul7ho8n 9 ай бұрын

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

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

@TechYourLife1 9 ай бұрын

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
