eufy Security Smart Lock S230, Keyless Fingerprint Lock for Front Door

I have always wanted to get a smart lock so I wouldn't have to deal with keys at all and neverhave to worry about getting locked out of the house. I recently stayed at a luxury condo at an Airbnb and it had a Yale pin pad smart lock. It was amazing not having to use keys so I decided to finally just go buy one. I researched for hours to find the best smart lock for me, and the Eufy smart lock hands down won. I loved all the features especially the fine print reader. They have a newer model with built in wifi, but this one was much cheaper and since it came with the bridge it does everything the newer model does- but more! With the bridge it had a SD card slot that can record video with Eufy security cameras. I love that so your not having to pay for a monthly subscription for cloud storage. It also acts as a speaker for Eufy doorbell. My phone has a finger print reader which I always use, it takes a second or two to recognize and unlock so I was wondering if this would be the same, or slower. That's why I liked that it also has pinafore for a code, or even an actual key if the batteries happen to die. It does have a USB jack on the bottom so if the battery dies you can hook up a power bank to it. I was pleasantly surprised that the finger print reader works extremely well and fast! It gets it right the first time every time and works almost instantly. I love it!! I am working on making my whole house a smart home, I have all the main rooms completed so I love that using the lock can trigger smart home routines to say turn on all the lights and turn TV on. The Eufy lock looks and works better than the Yale lock on the condo that is more expensive. I love literally everything about it from the design, build quality and feel, and the best part is no more keys!!! It's very cool that it comes with extra security-it has an extra sturdy door latch that screws in deeply to the door casing and wall to make it a lot harder for someone to push the door in. Another favorite feature that I almost forgot to mention is the autolock feature! You can set the timer for 1 seconds to 3 minutes upon closing the door to when it locks. I have it set to 1 second and is perfect. It's nice that it has a door open/closed sensor built in- most smart locks either don't have it or is an extra sensor to attach to the door. That's great because it will only lock if the door is fully closed and will let you know if the door is not securely closed. It was very easy to install. I can't say enough good things about it. It was 100% worth the money! If you have been thinking about it but debating on if it would actually be worth it- the answer is yes yes yes get it! Lol You'll be so happy you did!

I love this product for several reasons. The fact that it holds a charge for as long as one year is amazing. This was the main reason why I switched to this Lock. I have an Airbnb property and do not live in the area, so I needed something that would be reliable. Also, my prior lock required the use of regular batteries and this one is rechargeable which saves a lot of money overtime. It took thirty minutes to install.

I’ve had this for about three months and it’s been working flawlessly and the battery is at 89%. Very simple to setup. Easy to install and fit perfectly.

Switched to this after my August lock gave me endless connection issues. Wi-Fi barely worked, so remote unlocking was a no-go—I had to add people as guests in the app instead, which was super annoying. First off, this Eufy lock actually stays connected, which is already a massive improvement. But if auto-locking is a dealbreaker for you, be warned. Unlike August, which used a door sensor to lock perfectly every time, Eufy relies on some “geomagnetic” detection (whatever that means). Most of the time, it works fine, but if you close the door too softly, sometimes it just doesn’t lock. The auto-lock timer in the app is also unpredictable—it’ll lock sometimes, but other times, it stays unlocked all night. No clue why. The keypad is a little too sensitive—especially in cold weather, where it sometimes double-presses numbers. The fingerprint scanner is fast, but if you don’t place your finger just right, it might take two tries. Not a dealbreaker, but worth noting. One annoying issue—sometimes the lock won’t disengage. If your door bolt is pressed too firmly against the frame, it throws an error, and you have to pull or push the door a little before unlocking. Battery life? It’s fine. Cool that it’s rechargeable, but you can’t just swap the batteries—you have to wait for them to charge. Would be great if Eufy included a second battery for easy swaps. Bottom line: If you’re used to smart home automation and expect flawless auto-locking every single time, this might not be for you. But if you just want a solid, stylish smart lock with great remote access and connectivity, this does the job.

Man, what a let down. Some major disadvantages from this unit over the previous one. But one pro - the keys can now be duplicated. The previous model had keys that could not so if you lost one (they used to supply 5), you were out of luck. This updated model includes 2 keys you can then duplicate wherever -- bad thing -- it can't be re-keyed so if using as a rental and you give your key as a backup in case of failure, there's no way to re-key the lock after they leave. The other cons: - Integrated battery "pack" defeats the need to replace AA batteries like before but the bad news is that you can't simply replace the batteries and be done. Instead, you will need to remove the battery pack, charge it, then reinstall. Charging takes several hours. I suppose you could buy additional battery packs but, one step forward, two steps back. - The door lock does not lock automatically very well. I thought it was a defective unit at first so I exchanged it. New unit is the same as before. Previous model would lock well, no issues. This one for whatever reason, doesn't detect the door being closed as good as the previous model. I am constantly having to lock the door manually (in-person) or in app. One time, I didn't pay attention and found the door had been unlocked overnight. Yes, I've tried re-calibrating, resetting, updating firmware, etc. It just doesn't do it well. Maybe a firmware update will address this in the future but this is super concerning. Closing the door behind you and assuming it'll lock automatically is just not a thing anymore (I miss the older version of the lock as it just worked well.). Already contacted Eufy about this and didn't get anywhere. - Battery life is horrible. I do not have a high traffic spot at all and battery drain is bad. Having to recharge the battery so often at this point is just not good. So, stuck with using the keys until this is (hopefully) addressed in a firmware update. I'm researching other locks with better reliability as I just can't justify having this installed and feel comfortable that it's doing what it should. I was such a fan of the older model with the weird keys because it just worked. The AA batteries in those units would drain fast as well which makes me think Eufy just hasn't perfected their devices. That older model worked well for about 2 years and then started eating up the high priced lithium batteries in about a month. At $20+ for a pack of 4 lithium "super" batteries from brand name suppliers and replacing every 4-6 weeks just wasn't feasible. Sadly, I'm returning this and switching to a different brand.

So I purchased the Eufy Smartlock Touch with WiFi during the presale offered and the installation went pretty smooth with a couple of individual problems that I’ll go over. 1.) I didn’t measure the spacer. Turns out I didn’t need it in there as it made the keypad side tweak just a bit. When measuring it looked like it needed it. If yours doesn’t fit exact or to your liking simply remove the spacer. 2.) Had to bore out the deadbolt hole a little wider. Not sure if the door I have isn’t standard deadbolt size but it needed to be I think 7/8". Once all of that was finished the installation went quick I’d say ten minutes or less. To all the negative reviews I’ve seen being published about the fingerprint being the selling point and it failing miserably… No idea why everyone is publishing that. I have only been using the product for a week but have YET to have a fingerprint error or problem when using the correct print. I have tried to access it with my other hand and other fingers and errors will occur so it’s not a false positive every time I’ve accessed. But really unsure on why so many publications are scoring it low for this reason. Setting up the WiFi bridge/extender was easy as well. Note: you will get a connection error when you test it if your phone has a VPN turned on… oops. Unboxing: 10/10. Each box is organized and numbered so you know exactly what step comes next. I always forget to go through the installation video in the app first. I used the manual because I’m old school and it worked out just fine. Installation: 10/10 easy installation for most people (my situation called for a couple of weird unique obstacles). If you lock in your two long bolts to secure both sides to each other and it doesn’t fit right, try removing the spacer. Super easy test and you’ll be happy both sides are perfectly flush. Programming and usage: 10/10. Extremely simple setup that walks you through each step. No bugs or errors thus far in week 1. Code works 10/10 attempts. Fingerprint 10/10 attempts. Phone access: 10/10 attempts. One small thing, you need to be pretty close to your door if you don’t have the WiFi bridge or WiFi version for you to be able to open the lock with your phone. Look/Aesthetics: 10/10. This thing is clean. It makes my ghetto garage door look like it’s housing something top secret. I’m really happy it’s rated IP65 because rain sometimes gets under the overhang on that side of our house. Overall: 10/10. Easy to setup, looks great, works great. Will update in a month/few months/year. If you have any questions feel free to reply! Would love to answer any that I can and make your installation as easy as it was for me!

I have a Eufy video-doorbell and several Eufy security cameras and wanted a smart lock that used the same app, so I replaced my older (and less smart) smart lock with the S230; so far, I'm pleased. The lock and motor operate more smoothly than the one it replaced which used to bind up periodically due to weatherstripping pressure on the door. The installation was simple (just like any deadbolt) and only required a Phillips screwdriver; it couldn't have taken more than 10 minutes. The app integration was quick and easy and now the lock reports every time it's opened or closed, the fingerprint sensor works well, and the app lets me remotely lock/unlock the door. My only qualification about recommending this lock is that for many folks, the C220 may offer a better value. For the $100 price difference, the only significant differences I can find are 1) the S230 uses a custom rechargeable battery pack that is claimed to last up to 1 year whereas the C220 uses 8xAA batteries for 8 months - the longer life of the S230 is a clear advantage although I expect a replacement pack will cost significantly more than 8x AA batteries and the lock will have to be manually operated while the battery pack is being charged. 2) The S230 has a better weatherproof rating (IP65 vs. IP54) which will matter if your front door is exposed to the elements. 3) The S230 has a higher security rating (BHMA grade 2 vs. the lower grade 3 of the C220) which matters to me because...it's a lock. However, for many users, these differences will be too small to justify twice the price; the C220 is also somewhat smaller and more visually appealing. Overall, my experiences with Eufy products have generally been excellent and this smart lock has been no exception.

I started looking for smart door locks for our new place after getting tired of fumbling with different keys for the front and garage door locks. I could have gotten the locks rekeyed, but I decided to install smart locks on the two doors and get rid of keys altogether. After getting used to fingerprints to unlock and log into most apps on my phone, I just couldn't get myself to buy a smart lock without fingerprint support. The Eufy touch lock seemed to be one of few fingerprint smart locks out there backed by a well known brand, but it didn't come with wifi support. I heard the wifi version was coming, so I decided to wait a couple of months and finally took delivery of the updated locks last week. The locks are pretty easy to install, and come with good instructions and well labeled/organized parts. The locks took about 15 mins each to install. The app is also pretty easy to set up, and I can log into the app with fingerprints on my android phone. The one setup quirk I had to deal with is that selecting the "touch lock with wifi" when adding a new lock to the app didn't work. The QR code scan wasn't doing anything. I noticed that the product code on the lock was not 8520, but 8510, which is the same code as the non wifi Eufy touch lock, so I decided to add the non wifi touch lock to the app. This time, the QR code worked, and I was able to add the included wifi bridge separately and pair it with the lock. This should be good news for those of you who have the regular touch lock, as it indicates that you will be able to add Wifi support when/if Eufy starts selling the wifi bridge separately. I programmed each lock to unlock with three different fingerprints, and have been very happy with the responsiveness of the fingerprint scanner. It seems to be faster than the under screen fingerprint scanner on my Samsung Note 10+. The unlocking process with fingerprints is extremely quick and seamless. I also added my wife as a separate user, so she was also able to register her fingerprints with each lock. Each user also gets to select a 4 to 8 digit pin code (different code for each user). The app lets you customize a lot of things, including auto lock functionality (lock after duration, auto lock schedule with start/end time), wrong attempt timeouts, lock sounds, scramble pass code (add random numbers before and after your actual pin to hide it from prying eyes), etc. I've only had the locks for a few hours, but I have been very pleased with how well they work so far. The only minor annoyance is that one wifi bridge cannot connect to more than one lock, so if you have two locks like I do, you will have to have two wifi bridges operational. It would have been nice if the wifi bridges supported multiple locks, but it's not a deal breaker.

I have been looking for a smart lock for my door to have access for tenants and get a control for who is entering the house. This is having all the smart features needed for control like fingerprint sensor which works perfectly, auto lock customisable, audio features for notifications, lock codes for multiple profiles. The best feature is rechargeable battery which last long for 1 year (yet to be tested) and does not require multiple batteries to be plugged in every few months. The installation was way easy I installed in less than 15 minutes. Excellent build quality and performance, no issues experienced and it does not require any bridge. Works fine with smart devices- Google and Alexa Highly recommended!

very practical and easy to install

This is the third one I have bought, the first one was E130 model, it was excellent and worked for exactly 20 months and broke down from one rainy day, although it rarely rains here. The second was 230 model and the same thing happened to it, after 17 months, it rained and broke down. I bought this one for the last time because I couldn’t find anything else in the same size, so I have to paint the whole door, and I don't have the time to do so. BTW the first 2 I bought from USA.

DO NOT BUY! We bought on sale while out home was renovated so we cannot return it. It constantly is confused whether it's locked or unlocked. Has bad interface design (locks when you put in passcode) and sometimes just straight up won't unlock when you put the pass code in multiple times. AVOID THIS PRODUCT.
