Smart Door Handle Lock with Keypad: Yamiry Fingerprint Smart Knob - Keyless Entry Digital Lock for Front Door - Deadbolt with APP - Generate Passcode Remotely - DIY Installation

After fumbling with her keys one too many times, my wife insisted we move out of the stone age and upgrade to a smart lock. I did my research and found a variety of locks, most of which turned out to be quite expensive. I noticed this one was priced competitively and seemed to have good reviews, so I pulled the trigger, and I'm sure glad I did.First and foremost, in terms of security you should be aware this is not a deadbolt. But if you don't need one like in a side door or garage entrance this is actually one of the few smart locks available that installs like a normal door handle instead.The lock itself is strong and secure, and seems to be well made. It won't weigh down your door or anything but has enough weight to tell you quality materials were used in the manufacturing process.Installation was easy, just like installing a door handle.In terms of functionality this lock offers many features. Passcode entry, fingerprint, key fob, and a traditional key, all of which have some pros and cons. For me, the fingerprint reader works really well - but only if my hands are dry. If it's raining and I get them wet (i.e. by closing a car door) the fingerprint reader won't work. The number pad is also a bit finicky. You have to wake the lock up first and THEN enter your code; that's extremely annoying. The key fob works well but man it has to be RIGHT next to the lock or it won't be detected. This is also not a great experience; the whole point of something like this is to eliminate fishing around for my keys right? The key fob for my car works as long as they're in my pocket; I wish this lock did the same.Nevertheless I feel that the lock offers enough options that each individual will find a method that works best for them, and in my experience it beats the use of traditional keys hands down.One final detail I am not able to comment on yet is the battery life. I haven't had the lock long enough yet but am hoping to get a solid six months out of each set of batteries.Oh and I almost forgot, the app to set up and manage the lock is terrific, a huge factor. It is definitely not an afterthought with this manufacturer. I did not buy the wifi add-on as I don't personally need it, but if you do have to let someone in remotely you'll enjoy the ease of the app no doubt.The bottom line with this lock is it offers a wide variety of unlocking methods (the auto-lock feature is also awesome), is solid and secure, works reliably, and is easy to install and manage. And for this price, you absolutely cannot beat this lock. This model has absolutely hit the bullseye in terms of offering the right value. I enthusiastically recommend this purchase. You can feel confident hitting the buy button.

The Yamiry smart lock really impressed me! Installation was very easy, and the kit is super complete: in addition to the password option, it includes two access cards, two physical keys, and even fingerprint unlocking. All of this at a very affordable price!Another great feature is the built-in Wi-Fi system, which lets you lock or unlock the door remotely — perfect for traveling or granting access from afar. The app is also intuitive and user-friendly.I highly recommend it for anyone looking for security, practicality, and smart technology!

i bought this to replace a failing deadbolt smart lock , mine was nowhere as fancy as this with the fingerprint and app features , but let me tell you ! am i glad i did , i did not know i could get such a fancy lock for this affordable . It has an app where you can lock and unlock it , installation was easy ! , great functionality and amazing features such as keycards , temporary codes and actual keys . would definitely recommend 10/10 .

This is a very nice lock and appears to be well made. It also works well so far. I left off a star because of a few minor details. I used this to replace an old Kwikset lever lock that had worn out after a decade or so of use. This was easy to install and worked well on my back door which has the deadbolt hole placed a little too close to the doorknob hole where this lock mounts. With the old KW I had to turn the inside unit upside down to make it work but this unit is short enough to fit properly. The fingerprint to open is great and works well although I did have to enter my thumb at 2 different angles and learn that I had to place the finger on it and hold for about a second.The minor details:(1.) There is no easy way to lock the door from the inside. A simple button wired to the main board through the battery connection cable should be incorporated in future designs.(2.) Locking the lock from the outside isn't easy either. You do it by touching and holding the checkmark key. This usually takes two taps on the key holding it the second time when it beeps. If I were writing the firmware for this thing, I would have made the fingerprint sensor toggle the lock. In other words, if the door is locked and a valid print is used, it unlocks. If the door is unlocked and a valid print is used it locks. So, if the manufacturer is reading this, please consider this change to the firmware. It is to me the intuitive way to do things. The auto lock feature is good but not for me. I want to leave the door unlocked until I want it locked. It should be easy to lock the door manually, without the need of the app.(3.) Making it work with Alexa was tricky for me. I bought the bundle with the wi-fi gateway because I wanted to control it remotely and also by voice with my echo devices. I first set the gateway up in the Smart Things (actually Brilliant Smart - Tuya) app which I was already using for other things. and added the lock. Everything appeared to work except Alexa voice control. It replied with a device not responding error even though the lock itself was working through the app. So, I started over and set everything up in the Nice Digi app. That worked except there is no Alexa voice control because Nice Digi doesn't have an Alexa skill. So, I tried a third time by deleting it from the Nice Digi app and again pairing the gateway with the Brilliant Smart-Tuya app. Third time was a charm as it all works now. This just may be an old man issue, but I usually breeze through linking up IOT devices. Maybe Nice Digi should consider writing their own Alexa skill instead of using Smart Life.I do like being able to lock/unlock the door with Alexa voice control as well as being able to control it from anywhere with the Tuya compatible app. So, I recommend buying the bundle with the gateway included. In general, despite my minor issues, I am happy with the purchase so far and expect I will enjoy having the smart upgrade from my old lock. I do hope it lasts as long as that old KW did!
