   tl;dr Great, feature-packed Matter over Thread lock at a Wi-fi price!
   Our previous lock manufacturer informed us they would be ceasing operations and shutting down their servers, thus rendering their app and all HomeKit/Alexa connectivity dead. Like, seriously.I just upgraded all our wi-fi lights to Matter lights and we’re loving the improved speed and reliability of this protocol. So the silver lining to Reagle’s demise is that are we got to upgrade to a Matter over Thread lock. Beyond all the upgraded features, the big selling point is that after programming fingerprints and a couple of other settings on their app (which I believe is all handled locally and doesn’t involve the manufacturer’s servers), the X1 can be totally controlled via HomeKit.Pros: all of the above, plusFingerprint access is instantaneous.Code response is instantaneousApple Key response is instantaneousHomeKit response — voice or remote from phone– is near instantaneousSuper quiet and fast mechanismSet up with HomeKit and programming fingerprints etc on the app is intuitive and easyFuture-proofing a bit with Matter Over ThreadEnormous value for such a full featured Matter Over Thread lockCons:Physical keyhole is inconveniently located under TWO covers (NOT a big deal as there are literally five other ways to lock/unlock)So quiet I no longer get an audible warning hubby’s on the elevator coming home so it’s made afternoon assignations extra dangerous! (jk, but the old lock was loud enough to let anyone in the apartment know someone was almost home)So no real cons.It’s a great lock with none of the “new & shiny” $$ premium other brands seem to be charging for MoT locks.

   Yes, it’s true. It has Thread support…at this price!
   This is one the best products I have bought in recent years. In fact, I bought a second one to make my household key-free. It took me about 15 minutes to install it. It has a clever design that doesn’t require screwing it into the door aside from what was already there. I still can’t believe how affordable it is for such a feature packed device. A Thread support and fingerprint support at this price point? It’s unheard of unless it had some serious shortcomings. HomeKey works really well and the fingerprint sensor is fast and reliable. Love the code and user management. It’s a beautifully designed product also. It has already changed the way we get in and out of our home. I have been planning on buying such product for a very long time but they were either crazy expensive or lacked key features that wasn’t worth investing in. I finally found the product that’s literally perfect in every way. Setup was a breeze with zero connective issues. Highly recommend it!

   Great Design and Performance
   I was a little concerned about going with a newer brand that I was not familiar with, especially for a lock. I decided to give it a shot after readings various reviews online. So far I am very impressed with not only the lock itself, but the overall design, the packaging, instructions, and the app. I have had a few smart locks over the years, and often not impressed. The lock is much faster to respond than my other locks. The fingerprint sensor is VERY fast to respond making it actually useful. HomeKit integrations is seamless and well done. Even the app is well done and bug free (even the big companies can’t seem to get that right.The construction seems solid even though the housing is plastic (which is understandable given the price point). Time will tell how well this holds up, especially in the sun. I can’t comment on the security, but appears no better or worse than others on the market.

   Amazing lock for the price, works great with apple homekit and opens quickly
   First Impressions – there’s no tape on the box, did I get a used product?! Open it up and see that the parts bags are all sealed – okay I guess this is new. I suppose there’s nothing really wrong with a used and returned product but it does make me question whether the item is any good. Anyway on to the review.This is my fourth smart lock brand in about ten years or so. I think all of them, more or less, solve for our issue of having a large family coming and going. Most smart locks leave something to be desired functionality-wise. When we first got the Ultralok with fingerprint reader we loved it; turns out it was only 80% awesome, it didn’t work occasionally and there were a few panicky moments where we couldn’t get in. Also so many smart locks are slooooow to lock, unlock or register keypad inputs. Have only had the Thor installed for a bit but it is super snappy. It’s registered finger prints very quickly, the NFC for iphone is fantastic and very quick. This is the first lock brand that has installed on the first try and every access option just works. We installed three of these and all of them installed easil, synced to the app and apple homekit without any issue. Haven’t figured out how to get the NFC working on the apple watches yet but the phone works great. One thing that wasn’t immediately clear was how to add others to the homekit for the NFC phone function. Easy enough you just have to go to the Apple home app and tap the plus sign in the top right corner > add people > then select the apple ids of kids and family you want to have access. From their phones you’ll see a little notification red dot in the home app that you have to click on and accept. It’ll prompt you to add the app and make some security choices. Easy as pie. Big fan of this lock so far but I’ll report back if anything changes. One thing I’d like to see in the app is Face ID to login instead of having to insert a password after it times out.

   I recently upgraded from another smart lock to the X1 and I am thrilled. Our previous lock was slow, unreliable and often failed to unlock when needed.The X1 is everything I was looking for – fast using thread support, tight Apple Home integration and Home Key support, multiple unlock option including fingerprint and passcode, and a sleek professional look.I’m surprised the quality available at this price – you won’t be disappointed.

   It’s FAST. Stupidly fast. Works great. It has almost every feature I could ask for. The single solitary thing it lacks that my other locks (two different models of Yale) have is a “privacy” button. (It’s a button on the inside of the lock that disables visitors from entering, even if they normally always have access, useful for not being interrupted by an in-law when you and your spouse are alone…) As long as the people you give codes to have a basic understanding of manners and boundaries, it’s not a necessary feature though.My wife does find that the fingerprint reader is finicky, since the WHOLE sensor needs to be covered to read a print and she has small fingers. But since the pin works and so does home key, it doesn’t really matter for her. Might be more of an issue for people that lack home key and can’t be trusted with a code, but… can get a fingerprint? The only situation I can think of is that of a latchkey kid to be honest.Either way, no regrets. I will say that if the updated Yale ever drops in price by $150 CAD, I’ll get another one of those for the front door and put this one on the garage. My in-laws are sometimes… not great about calling first. For the price though, it’s the equal of locks twice as pricey.

   De muy buena calidad, no tuve ningún inconveniente a la hora de instalarla y sobre todo el correcto funcionamiento después de varios meses de uso no tengo ninguna mala sensación.La uso con HomeKit y su conexión es súper estable

   Hasta donde se, no hay alguna cerradura inteligente que le compita con la cantidad de funcionalidades con que cuenta esta cerradura. Muy confiable y recomendable.
