You can buy a safe and convenient entry-level smart door lock for 899 yuan.
Recently, older young people are clamoring for Children’s Day. After all, childhood is the most carefree time, and the biggest trouble is probably how to play with their parents for a while. How did you know that your parents were coming back when you were secretly watching TV? I judged it by the crash of a bunch of keys around my dad’s waist. However, with the popularity of smart door locks in the past two years, my dad doesn’t have to bring so many keys anymore, and I am long past the age of secretly watching TV.
Everyone’s acceptance of smart door locks is getting higher and higher, and the competition in this category is naturally more intense. Recently, the price of Xiaomi smart door lock E, which Xiaomi is crowdfunding, still has an experience of more than 1,000 yuan.
Because we didn’t have a suitable door, we installed it on the lock frame to experience it, which also saved some work of measuring in advance. In the installation process, you can see the newly added anti-inserting lock tongue, which can prevent the lock from being unlocked by inserting cards and other technologies, and improve the anti-prying ability.
The lock core is still a straight-in C-class lock core with high safety, and it can be unlocked with a key even if the panel is damaged. In addition, the main control chip is located on the back panel, which effectively avoids the electromagnetic interference of the’ black box’ to unlock.
Xiaomi smart door lock e is still black, which is much rounder and less angular than the youth version within the same thousand yuan.
There is also a very hidden button above the digital button, that is, the electronic doorbell is integrated into this door lock. After accessing the Bluetooth gateway, you can receive relevant notifications to avoid missing visitors.
Below the handle is an emergency keyhole, which can be opened by pressing, and you can use the emergency key to open the door when the power of the door lock is exhausted.
Even if you don’t have an emergency key with you, you can charge it through the emergency power supply port at the bottom of the outer panel when there is no electricity.
In fact, it is rare to use the above two emergency unlocking methods, because eight batteries can be placed in the battery compartment of the rear panel. The official said that the battery life can reach 18 months, and there will be a reminder when the power is less than 20%. There is basically no need to worry about the situation that there is no home to go back.
Different from the automatic locking of the indoor handle of Xiaomi smart door lock before, this smart door lock E needs to manually turn on the switch for preventing the cat’s eye from unlocking, so as to prevent thieves from unlocking indoors after removing the cat’s eye.
The previous anti-lock knob has also become a button, which can be locked after a long press, and only people with administrator authority can unlock the lock from outside.
Xiaomi Smart Door Lock E has many unlocking methods, such as fingerprint, password, temporary password, Bluetooth, HomeKit and emergency key. Needless to say, fingerprint identification is the most frequently used unlocking method in smart door locks, and the official said that the fingerprint identification rate can reach 98.5%.
If the fingerprint is not clear, there is also a password to unlock, which supports a 20-digit virtual password to prevent outsiders from peeping. In addition, one-time password or periodic password can easily deal with sudden visits.
In addition to being able to access Mijia App, Xiaomi Smart Door Lock E also supports Apple HomeKit this time, which is relatively rare for smart door locks within 1,000 yuan, so Siri can also be called out to unlock. Through these two apps, in addition to controlling the switch of the door lock with the mobile phone, it can also be linked with other devices after connecting the Bluetooth gateway, such as turning on the light, turning on the air conditioner, opening the curtains and so on after unlocking.
However, NFC unlocking is not available on Xiaomi Smart Door Lock E, and users who use mi band have no place to use it this time. But considering the price of 999 yuan, it has become acceptable.
If you want to try the smart door lock for the first time and the budget is limited, then this crowdfunding Xiaomi smart door lock E is very suitable as your first smart door lock.
