Finally, the keyhole is covered by a metal plate that must be pried off (permanently, I suspect, in most cases). If you unlock the door with a fingerprint and later lock it with the app, the app will show the app activity before the fingerprint activity shows up (which usually only happens after another app-based interaction). The logging system updates slowly and prioritizes app-based interactions. (Perhaps this option is available only for locks of other brands.)Īside from what I mentioned above, the only features I didn’t really love were fairly minor: You can’t set your own PIN codes the app generates them for you and they’re all 8 digits long. A door open/close sensor solution is mentioned, but this requires an external sensor which Smonet doesn’t appear to sell. Notably, an easy, tweakable auto-lock system is included. Settings options are modest but get the job done. All that is in addition to being able to use your phone to open the door. The lock is Bluetooth-only out of the gate- Smonet’s optional hub ($39.99) lets you bridge it to Wi-Fi-but the bevy of access method options include a numeric keypad (the lock can store up to 300 PINs), fingerprint recognition (up to 250 prints), a physical key, and an IC (aka RFID) fob. The Smonet SMUS-GS002, a relatively uninspired 2.5 pounds of metal and black plastic, offers something of a greatest hits from the company’s smart-lock playbook, providing its most essential features without breaking the bank. Smonet isn’t a household name, but I was surprised to find that the company offers more than a dozen smart locks, in addition to cameras and other home security products. If you’re willing to get in the weeds a bit, Smonet’s smart deadbolt is a reasonable and affordable Bluetooth lock with a Wi-Fi option. We encountered some operational hiccups.Wi-Fi access requires added-cost bridge.
