eufy Security Smart Lock E30, Fingerprint Keyless Entry Door Lock with Apple Home Ecosystem, Built-in Wi-Fi Deadbolt, Smart Door Lock for Front Door or Back, Supports Apple Home, Alexa, Google

Easy to install.Its own app is decent and works well with smarthings hub.Battery life is not 8 months, but it does warn you with plenty of time.It has a harder time reading finger prints when it's cold outside (likely because of skin in the cold), but generally works well. Auto-lock feature is very nice.

I have been using smart locks for years, and this is my third. The Eufy replaced an August lock, so that will be the direct comparison.The August just replaced the inside portion, so reused the deadbolt mechanism. This Eufy replaces the entire unit, which has both advantages and disadvantages. If you're a renter, or want/need to maintain the existing key, leaving the existing deadbolt is preferred. However, replacing the entire mechanism, like the Eufy does, allows for more features, like the included keypad and fingerprint reader. For the August, the keypad was an add on.The Eufy also included wifi built-in, where with the August it was a separate component that was plugged in near the lock. While that requires more batteries for the Eufy, I prefer the all-in-one solution.The other advantage of the Eufy replacing the entire mechanism is how much more positive and direct the lock feels when locking/unlocking it manually. The August would sometimes get out of sync, and when turning the lock knob by hand, it would engage the motor and you would be turning that, too. The motorized locking is also more precise, and quieter, on the Eufy.The last advantage is really only for those already using Eufy. Having it integrated with the camera app is great. If you have a camera at the entry, you can locl/unlock the door from the same screen as viewing the camera.The fingerprint scanner works great, and is faster and easier than using a code. The one complaint I have is in the app. If you add codes for people like pet sitters, cleaning people, etc., you are limited in terms of how you allow them to use the lock. It's either always or scheduled. And you can't change that without removing the code and adding it back. You also can turn a code on and off. You have to remove it and add it. That's annoying and an inexcusable oversight. Hopefully that will be addressed at some point, but I don't have high hopes.

I bought the eufy E30 smart lock, and so far, it works perfectly! The fingerprint sensor is fast and reliable, the app is easy to use, and the installation was straightforward. I love the convenience it adds to my home, and the build quality feels solid. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great smart lock!

This lock seems to be great. Easy to install works great with matter. Has several options for locking and looks very nice. I highly recommend this deadbolt lock.

Cheap build. Not enough screws to secure it. It can be easily broken with one hammer hit.Also, you must have wifi to setup the app. I just bought a home and my wifi is not setup yet, so could not setup the app. App had to update and update failed couple of times, was very frustrating.I am thinking of returning it. Cant use it for front door... poor build, not sturdy enough.But it seems to "work", but cant bet on it to secure my front door. Need something more solid.

I bought this lock right after I spent $400 on a locksmith to get my home lockout fixed. I wish I had gotten this sooner. I got this model because of my Apple Home setup. It pairs with the eufy app easily, and then it integrates seamlessly into my Apple Home. The installation was a breeze if you’ve ever changed a doorknob before you will know how to install this lock without any instructions in like 2 minutes. The quality of the lock is top-notch, and the battery comes pre-charged. It fulfilled my goal to use Siri to unlock and lock the door remotely. I can also ask Siri the status of the door and it will tell me if my door is locked unlocked. I asked Siri multiple times a day because I frequently worried my pet would got out if I left the door unlocked and Siri will always reassure me that my door is locked. Plus, I can check a history of who’s used the lock. The fingerprint unlock is super fast, even faster than unlocking an iPhone back in the days. I haven’t had a chance to use the physical key yet because I only use it as a backup option. That’s the whole point of keyless entry, right? Now I can walk my dogs without carrying keys that was bundled with bunch of other flops and garage opener and risk dropping it while wearing my Lululemon shorts that does not has a deep pocket to key my key safe.

After almost 5 months, I’m giving this a thumbs up! I initially wanted to get a lock from U-Tech because I already had one of their Non-apple locks. But their Apple-enabled lock was a bit pricey. Setting it up on Apple Home was super easy and intuitive. So far, I’m really happy with my choice. I just wish they had made it with a silver finish. The battery life seems okay (44% after 5 months), even though we only lock/unlock a couple of times a day. I would definitely recommend it!

One of the first matter with thread networking locks. Matter will let you use Apple, Alexa, etc all at the same time if you want. Thread will double battery life if using Apple home. Eufy resolved no response issues with a firmware update. Got low battery warning after first week so I unpaired Alexa to minimize use of WiFi which eats batteries. Batteries seem to be lasting much longer now. The E30 looks good, is reliable and future proofed with matter and thread. Glad I worked thru initial issuesUpdate: looks like the low battery warning was false. Batteries still had 1.5 volts. Eufy fixed with firmware update. Same batteries read 100 now.Update: had it for 8 weeks, batteries at 89%. Operation is flawless. Make sure you update firmware, have a thread border router if using Apple Home, a good WiFi signal as a weak signal will eat batteries. This is still one of only 3 locks that have native matter over thread. I.e. no hub
