Thanks for the video, @ThisSmartHouse! Leaning towards S330 at the moment. At 07:55, guess you meant "the S330 has the edge". :)
Thank you. I thought I heard him wrong.
Great video. Thank you
Thanks for the video. Should I get the Eufy Smart Lock S230 and the dual-camera doorbell separately, or is just the Smart Lock S330 a good option? Please advise.
has there been any updates to the E330 to include advanced notifications and/or alerts as well as confirmation of extending the built-in chime to other areas via GVA
I love the Eufy eco system potential but without a stand alone video doorbell and a high end door lock without video, I cannot get into it. We already have two S230 Eufy smart locks which have been great BUT, since one is in full Florida sun a good bit of the day I have had to make a cardboard cover to protect the lock as the sun is damaging the screen / front of the device.
The EUFY website says that the E330 has the autolock with the Built-in DoorSensor and timer based can you confirm that its either or?
Is the CC220 different?
I have the solo cam s340 and the T8530 door lock bell cam and they both constantly miss events. The door records to the doorbell chime SD card and the outdoor cam records to the Homebase 3. I have checked all settings / firmware updates and still cant figure out why they miss events. Anyone with these issues?
Hi , do the video can be streamed in Google home device ?
huge sale right now s330 going for 245$
Do they have 2 way speakers so I can talk to whoever is at my door?
I wouldn't want to use these on my outdoor doors, but I see a use indoors to create a barrier between hallway and garage. Can they be timed, locked when no-ones home and at night?
They do have automations in the app to lock at a certain time. You can also use Google assistant routines to lock at a specific time.
I have the HomeBase 2… as far as I can tell, neither of these are compatible with that? Do you know? Thanks!
I don't think they are backwards compatible. So you'll have to use the home base 3 for the advanced features and integrations.
we are snowbirds and away for 6 months. Will the battery be good enough for that long with minimal use ?
A lot of factors would play into it: outdoor temperature, motion events, usage. But the lock will go into low power mode if it gets too low (this disables the camera and motion events, only the lock works).
Will S330 or E330 allows to temporally disable users in a bulk operations ? Lets say I allow users with a schedule on weekdays. on July 4th that falls on Thursday, I would like to disable a set of users in one shot and enable them back on next day , is it possible ?
A bulk operation or a Grouping mechanism ?
No, I don't believe either lock supports this operation. You can set up an individual user with a schedule but you'd have to do that for every single user you want to do that with. And you cannot get that granular with your control.
If you're looking for advanced scheduling you might want to look into a Z-Wave or zigbee powered lock and then integrate it with home assistant.
Did you integrate these locks into home assistant?
Right now I've got kind of a halfway integration where I can lock the locks with home assistant. Using the Google Assistant integration in home assistant. But unlocking won't work even with a Google Assistant SDK add-on. Because it requires a pin.
There is a Eufy integration that I use for a lot of my cameras but it currently does not support either of these locks.
The above code doesn't work on Amazon
Can I use the included chime and homebase as a chime with s330?
You can use the base station as a chime, along with Alexa when you havea HomeBase. But the only way to use the included chime is with a USB dongle. I haven't played with it yet.
@@ThisSmartHouse thanks!
Can these locks be used as a stand alone if I do not have homebase 3 currently? Im torn between this and their standard doorbell cam.
Yes, you don't need the HomeBase 3 for standard usage. You just don't get animal detection and facial recognition with out it
Can the s330 connect to the homebase 3 without needing the wifi bridge?
Yes. That is actually how it works. I even confirmed this by unplugging my chime. I do think they've updated the chime to still be usable once you connect it to the homebase.
The E330 has a reset button that is only reached from inside the house (in the battery compartment) where the S330 reset button is on the outside of the door on the bottom where anyone can push it.
The S330 button on the outside is NOT a "reset" button. It merely reboots the lock to reconnect it to wifi (or to the Homebase 3) if it becomes disconnected. It doesn't "reset" the lock nor change the security settings.
Do I have to use the chime ? Prefer my regular doorbell to used
You have to use the chime or the app notifications. You cannot yet it with your existing doorbell chime.
I'm *pretty* sure the s330 simply does not have wifi, or indeed any standard connectivity, without the chime. This alone pushes me to the e330
The s330 will connect directly to the homebase3, so it does have Wi-Fi on board.
thanks
any of those lock have auto-unlock ?
Auto unlock in what situation?
@@ThisSmartHouse like when you approaching the from door
@@ThisSmartHousethe one I have now will Auto Unlock the door when I arrive home and get near the door
Nope. I don't believe that is a function of either. I think the locks that support that are BLE. But that seems hit or miss. Most locks I review don't have that feature.
If you are an apple user then you can look at a lock that supports HomeKey (Aqara U100 for example). That is a quick unlock by holding your phone or watch to the lock.
@@ThisSmartHouse thank you 🙏 for your reply keep the good good 👍
So now that the e330 connects to homebase 3, are the only differences the door sensing feature and inclued chime?
My e330 on latest firmware says it is not homebase3 compatible - even though my homebase3 says it is SmartLockE330 compatible.
Not sure if anyone has gotten it to connect….
I was told there's a new app version coming out to support it. It might be a slow rollout especially if you're on iOS. I wasn't able to get it working on Android or iOS before I released the video. They did note that you have to set it up from scratch to connect to the home base, that means you cannot migrate from Wi-Fi to home base. So you'll have to factory reset your lock before you can pair it.
@@ThisSmartHousefactory reset still does not work. So it is support, but it actually is not…
Well the firmware supports it but it looks like the app doesn't yet. I would give it another week. I am going to reach back out to my technical contact and see what version you need to be on.
@@ThisSmartHouseany update on this? I just received my E330, but it keeps saying the firmware needs to be updated, but there are no updates. HomeBase 3 shows it’s compatible. I have to use WiFi for the time being.
I just purchased the e330, but might unit does not have the charging port at the bottom of the device? Did eufy make a change to the e330 design? Where can I get the one with the charging port on the bottom so I can use and exterior connection to charge?
a few reasons why these smart locks are not for me (YMMV):
- 3-in-1
- battery-powered
- wireless
Fair enough. So you prefer the old school wired in, strike plate locks?
@@ThisSmartHouse wired sounds good to me, both for power supply and communication.
That is what they use in commercial applications. But I haven't seen wired locks for home.
@@ThisSmartHouse cost alone is a huge factor on why the wired locks arent in average homes. That and the fact that they take a technician to troubleshoot the hardware and software every time anything goes wrong with it.
Neither, remove the key cover and they can both be bypassed conventionally in seconds. Sub standard physical security dressed in a “Smart” facade.
100% correct.
You do realize most homes can be broken into by breaking a window faster than picking a lock. If you really don’t want the keyway, just fill it with epoxy.
@@ThisSmartHousetrue 😂
True, but you're picking a lock on camera. Why be dumb?
@@ThisSmartHouse well said. Trolls.... 🤦🏻♂️
That fucking destroyed the lock not an option! No damn traditional keys should be on a smart lock! they can be easily picked so that makes it vulnerable! The lock is garbage due to this vulnerability these things can be picked from seconds to minutes! Avoid traditional keys!
Your current dead bolt is probably fairly simple to pick & unlock too. Even easier than that is a broken window. If someone wants in their getting in. Just my .02
Nearly every lock on the market has a backup key. Most folks are worried about locking themselves out of the house, not a very skilled lock picker.
Mine also didn't come with a charging cable for the battery
