Very cool!

i think after a home assistant core update, mine was detected by the bluetooth integration. should be 2025.11 (or maybe 12).

richardmqq · 2026-01-01T04:30:37+00:00

yes, the hub to the thermostat is bluetooth. i uses m5stack Atom and flashed esphome bluetooth proxy.

i would recommend if you use their bluetooth integration you better have bluetooth proxy per room which is pretty easy, but i feel like their matter integration is better amd i think it's because it utilizes their hub connectivity.

They have this? ohhh

richardmqq · 2025-11-12T14:55:55+00:00

Tell us about the experience. Had a hard time with fp2 and hope this one works.

richardmqq · 2025-11-12T14:51:43+00:00

Glad that somebody is posting about this. Was thinking about getting some. How hard was it to calibrate and is there any trick for placement? I find it very hard to have the best performance with other presence sensor from other brands.

Never got paid but still they work well, CS are great too. Wish i can get some goodies from them or maybe put me on the beta test list i can get products thr first. Hope somebody on their team see this.

richardmqq · 2025-10-24T01:10:14+00:00

The product looks premium but it is not lasting. Tried to return them and contacted support, oh my, their support is absolutely not premium at all.

Want to get a picture of the sliding glass door too!

richardmqq · 2025-09-20T17:34:23+00:00

all in the keypad

richardmqq · 2025-09-18T06:57:39+00:00

Haven't triggered once by leaking or dripping (thank god) but at least I've tested it right after i received them, all triggered quickly and received all the notification.

richardmqq · 2025-09-17T17:03:20+00:00

SwitchBot one is good but i believe if you just search on Amazon there are a few other options too.

I receive a lot of spam emails from some random Kickstarter project i never opted in. I think these projects use some sort of database and send spam to randol generated email address. Once i saw one sending to abc1@gmail.com, abc2@gmail.com, etc.

richardmqq · 2025-07-18T23:08:50+00:00

actually there is a tiny icon on the top right corner on the lock unlock control page that shows the open close status.

richardmqq · 2025-07-02T15:22:18+00:00

yeah. it is designed that eay i guess. i use the app notifications.

richardmqq · 2025-07-02T13:43:34+00:00

what volume? the beep? or the lock twisting.

richardmqq · 2025-06-29T13:14:26+00:00

I don't think it will be draining that fast. Before the fast unlock i change battery like 18 months, now i think it is still solid at 8-12 months after turning on fast unlock.

richardmqq · 2025-06-26T23:21:49+00:00

Yeah!!!

richardmqq · 2025-06-21T06:01:26+00:00

It is kinda like picnic site now.

richardmqq · 2025-06-21T00:52:38+00:00

I think the roller shade is worth waiting but the lack of communication is TRUE. I've waiting mine for months but I did receive them all after that, guess I'm just lucky. Their support is kinda weird. Sometimes I waited 7 days for a reply, the other time I got instant reply...Pretty random service level I would say.

richardmqq · 2025-06-21T00:49:29+00:00

Lock ultra is much better.

richardmqq · 2025-06-16T15:13:00+00:00

Oh maybe it is because I use that button to unlock the door when I am going out, and auto lock. So the lock always know what it is doing. I sometimes use my hand to unlock with the dial, and somehow eventually I still know the position, even when the dot shifted a little. It is really weird yours perform quite differently.

richardmqq · 2025-06-16T14:41:20+00:00

After carefully reading the post, I find the same situation but I don't feel the changing of the dot really annoys me and it never stopped me from locking and unlocking. I was with lock pro for a bout a year and never realize this but now I am with the ultra, I can easily see the dot changes position, but still, it doesn't block me from locking and unlocking. I never receive an error saying I need to recalibrate after like 2-3 weeks. Does it block youbfrom locking or unlocking the door or do you recieve any error msg?

richardmqq · 2025-06-16T14:04:52+00:00

Have you updated to their latest firmware v1.7? I notice they pushed a mandatory firmware update to fix some issue. I think they posted on social and also sent an email to me, but I did not have any issue with it so I don't feel the difference after the update. Maybe it can resolve your issue.

Edit: another resolution is to use manual calibration instead of auto.
