This is perfect. I am looking for a smart lock for my office because I came in this morning to find the janitorial staff forgot to lock the door when they left at some point over the weekend. It was fine, nothing was ransacked or missing, but next time I may not get so lucky so I want auto lock but property management refuses to let me have a traditional smart lock so this retrofit option is perfect. The auto unlock option would be nice if it worked entirely based on my phone's proximity to the lock (via Bluetooth), no way I am giving a smart lock app Location access, in fact most the time I keep location services disabled entirely on my phone. I would love to know how well this works with home assistant. Perhaps there's an opportunity there to make my own Bluetooth proximity sensor to trigger it to unlock via home assistant.
For my Yale I can have it autolock between sertain times. For my part I have activated autolock in the nighttime. If I forget to lock the door in the evening, it will lock it for me. If I'm home late, it will lock it immediately when I'm inside. At daytime, it's set to not autolock. I guess you can use the autolock in the same way with this model?
Nice video. I was still deciding on which lock to buy and you just made my mind. Btw nice doors would you mind sharing which brand are they?. Thx and keep up the good work

That's interesting you can have auto lock and Auto Unlock setup during specific time periods. I don't see that option for this model.

Thank you, brand is Waudena.
Thanks a lot man.
Nice video, I am considering this over the Level lock.
Thanks, it's been working great for me!
I still can not figure out how to get this back plate dislodged
That crooked door handle is going to keep me up at night
