Great video! You answered some questions I had about the U50 lock and I liked how you showed the re-keying process. Super helpful!
Thanks Adam! I hope you and the family are doing well.
Huh, weird - my U100 did the calibration step and seems to work quite well
Yeah, its weird. My U100 would work properly for a while but then it would lock while the door was open. No matter what setting I put it on.
Does Alexa or other connected devices have access to biometrics used on iPad Air for security yet?
Nice video. Does anyone know of a Deadbolt Lock Cylinder brand/type that will work with the keys provided in the U100 installation kit?
Great video! Very curious to know, what's you favorite Homekit lock right now?
Thank you, without question, it's the Schlade Encode Plus
You mentioned that you can use the re-keyed U50 cylinder in the U100...Can you just replace the U100 cylinder with one that works with the SC1 key as well? I have seen conflicting reports on rekeying that lock.
Only the U50 SC1 cylinder will fit the U100. Plus you have to use the larger hold down bracket from the U50. So it’s not a cheap way to rekey it, since you need both. I haven’t found any other SC1 cylinders that fit the U100. I tried a bunch for the U100 review video.
Can the U50 cylinder be replaced by a Kwikset SmartKey cylinder, so all my house locks are the same and could be rekeyed in the future with the Kwikset SmartKey tool? Great Video Buddy, keep up the great work...Thanks!!!
Not that I tested but I only have 1 Kwikset. Only the U50 fits the U100 with the U50 bracket. I have not found any other clinder/tumblers including other Schalge that fits.
How well does the lock work with home assistant just wondering if you have tested it
IDK, I don't use Home Assistant but I've thought about it a million times. Maybe one day.
@ModernDayTech oh ok well I am just hoping that there are some youtubers that will add that into their video because I see home assistant as essential for a smart home
And I have home assistant and google that I use but mainly home assistant is my main choice
Helpful video! I think they have heard your opinion.
Thank you. They definitely did improve a bit.
I’ve never used her own key and I’m 32 HomeKey all the way for me
