Key unlocking, password unlocking and Bluetooth unlocking are common and easy to operate, so I won’t introduce them here. We focused on the temporary password unlocking, fingerprint unlocking and NFC unlocking that everyone is interested in.
Temporary password unlocking
The evaluation team of Tianji. com focused on the temporary password unlocking in Mijia APP unlocking. In Mijia APP interface, users can set one-time temporary password and periodic temporary password. When friends visit or clean the door, we don’t have to go home to send the key, just send the temporary password to open the door.
Among them, up to 50 groups of long-term valid passwords can be added. When setting the periodic temporary password, it can only be created after the Bluetooth of the mobile phone is connected with the door lock, while the one-time temporary password can be created remotely.
Fingerprint unlock
After the fingerprint is entered into the APP, the user can unlock the door with the fingerprint.
Why experience fingerprint unlocking? This has to start with the fingerprint unlocking technology used in the product. Due to different brands, the fingerprint unlocking system or technology used by smart door locks is different, which will affect the user’s unlocking experience. Xiaomi automatic intelligent door lock adopts multi-dimensional fingerprint identification technology, which combines multi-dimensional information such as fingerprint, skin and conductivity to realize multi-dimensional fingerprint identification, with higher security and faster door opening speed.

At present, many mainstream smart door locks on the market support APP unlocking, but the user experience is affected by technology in networking. Xiaomi automatic intelligent door lock is connected to the network through Mijia APP software. The evaluation team of Tianji. com found that the connection of the APP was relatively fast. After adding Xiaomi’s automatic intelligent door lock to the APP, it can perform Bluetooth unlocking, user management, door lock dynamics and other operations.
App link is convenient
In the user management section, you can add or delete fingerprints and modify passwords. At the same time, the state of the door lock switch at home will also be recorded, which is convenient for users to check the situation of the door lock switch.

4, one-click protection from home to guard the door, double authentication is more assured.
Xiaomi automatic intelligent door lock not only has 10 security protection functions such as threatening fingerprint alarm, resisting black box attack and five abnormal alarms, but also supports one-button protection from home, so it can be called a security guard at home.
If the user is away on business for a long time, he can click the protection button on the panel when he closes the door when he leaves home, and turn on the protection mode with one button. At the same time, if there are other smart devices at home, such as cameras and gas stoves, Xiaomi’s automatic smart lock can also be linked with them, wake up the camera for monitoring, automatically turn off the household appliances, and so on. If someone unlocks the door when he leaves home, he can give a local+remote alarm in time.
After the dual authentication function is enabled, users need to verify the fingerprint+password of the same member, or fingerprint NFC door card, or password +NFC to unlock the door. Simply put, the security of the door lock has been enhanced, because the user has to unlock it in two ways, such as fingerprint+password, so the door lock is safer.
5, fearless black box? Support intelligent scene linkage
As an important part of smart home, smart door locks may play a "hub" role in the future. Why do you say that? Because it can be linked with other Xiaomi intelligent hardware.

Child lock function can prevent children from pressing the electronic key on the handle to unlock indoors. After the child lock is enabled, turn the emergency knob on the inner panel to the maximum angle to unlock it from the house.
