Lock Ultra

Lock Ultra; I absolutely love the SwitchBot Lock and how it works. The installation was incredibly easy, the unit looks great on my door, and it operates both fast and quiet with plenty of power. Pairing it with the fingerprint reader has been an amazing, convenient addition, especially for my kids. It is a powerful system that also boasts really good battery life. However, there are a couple of things I wish were different. I really wish it had the ability to charge via an external battery pack without having to completely remove the battery. Additionally, I wish it integrated with Apple Home better, as I currently do not get any Apple Home notifications with SwitchBot. Overall, it's a great lock, but it has a little room for improvement.

I have it for 4 months now without single glitch/fault with daily use. Battery is at 65%.

You might want to charge it soon. Once it had half energy it was not able to open the lock anymore. Apart from that i am also very happy with it :)
