Altix CL1 Tuya Smart Door Lock Cylinder | Fingerprint & Keyless Entry | Bluetooth Keycard & Metal Key | Rental-Friendly DIY Installation | Highly Secure | CR123A Battery Included (Pearl Chrome, 70mm)

I purchased the Altix CL1 70mm Matt Black in December 2023.Item was as described. Good quality product. The finish of the black metal is very good.The box came with instruction booklet on how to install and I could install and activate the lock on the Tuya App without any issues. The battery used is CR123 (which was wrapped and was included inside the lock). So it's compact.The box contains the 2 RFID Smart Card, 2 Metal Keys with 2 suction cups, Reset Card with instruction card, 2 allen key and 1 small screwdriver. So all tools, to install, was included.This cylinder lock is very suitable for people who do not want to replace their complete existing door handle and the mortise. You just need to take out the existing door lock cylinder by unscrewing it from the side and replacing it with this door lock cylinder. No need to drill and no need for an installer if you follow the instructions.The Fingerprint sensor and card reader is fast and opens with any issues. The TUYA app makes it very easy to register fingerprints, RFID tags, see logs of door openings and register members. This door lock recognizes 13.56 Mhz RFID tags, which you can buy from other sources. So you are not limited to the 2 RFID tags that are included in the package. The remaining battery level can be seen on the TUYA app.This door lock works with Bluetooth only, not WIFI.Bluetooth range is very good. I can connect with the door lock and open the lock from the Tuya app on my Android phone 10 metres away.To use the door lock remotely while outside the home, a Gateway has to be installed. As I understand, the gateway will connect to the door lock by Bluetooth and the gateway will connect to the internet via WIFI.

Honestly,I am surprised with how this lock made our life easier.Now I don’t have to worry about carrying home keys at all.Just keep the emergency backup key in my car.Fingerprint work flawlessly, I add all family members including kids,we also don’t worry someone staying home just receive my kid.Pros:-Easy fixing.took me 15 mins onlyInstallation video is good explain everything.Fingerprint is fast ,love it.Cons:-No WiFi,it’s only bluetooth.you need to buy gateway to connect outside home.Battery is not common size but one included in package.I will update this review after few months of usage.

Not working anymore after 4 months of use

Works perfectly fine 99.9% of the time. I’ve had a couple of instances over a 6 month period that it got stuck on open. I removed the batteries to fix it one time, the other time I used the app to unlock it a few times and it seemed to start working again. As I’m patient enough to ensure it’s locked after I use the lock, I was there to be able to fix it. I’m sure if I was in a hurry to get a way and this happened I would not be as happy, so just if there is a fix for this issues that would be great.

Easy to install, and easy to configure on the app. I initially bought this to have the flexibility to lock and unlock my door remotely, but this smart lock is BLUETOOTH ONLY which means as long as you are in Bluetooth range it works. I ended up purchasing the gateway mentioned in the product description and it’s config on the app and installation were a breeze. Highly recommended.

I got last weekend ,easy to install ,work perfectly
