Open and hang the security door! Home safety is so simple

——Snail Housekeeper · Smart Latch Trial Experience

[Introduction]

The problems of burglary, robbery, murder, and home security have always been accompanied by human development, and the competition between theft technology and anti-theft technology has never stopped. From the material of door frame and door panel With the upgrading of the design of the lock handle of the lock cylinder of the lock body, the anti-theft measures on the anti-theft door are rich and varied, which directly indicates that the way of burglary is to crack the anti-theft door. Although the lock cylinder of the lock body has been upgraded, it can never get rid of the prying lock With the follow-up of lock technology, new anti-theft locks have been developed. In a short period of time, the security period of this technology is the vacuum period when the anti-theft technology has not been developed. Once the anti-theft technology has been developed, the corresponding anti-theft technology will become invalid, and we have to wait for a new one The anti-theft door lock came out.

At present, the anti-theft locks with advanced technology include password locks, fingerprint locks, face recognition locks and pupil recognition locks, which are really difficult to crack. At least, compared with traditional locks, the crack time and technical requirements are much higher, but the price is Thousands of levels are usually applied to the security and confidentiality needs of businesses and institutions. Most individual families are also used by local tycoons with rich wealth. Considering the price, ordinary families may not be able to accept such high-end anti-theft Products. Moreover, the installation of these high-end anti-theft locks mostly requires the replacement of the lock body and lock cylinder as a whole, which makes it difficult for ordinary users to purchase and install them.

Isn't there a security product with high security level, civilian price, simple installation, and suitable for ordinary users? yes! The "Snail Housekeeper · Smart Door Latch" developed by the start-up of future science and technology is such a product Products.

[High security level of smart latch]

Most common door locks are mechanical locks, which can be unlocked by driving the lock cylinder to rotate through the key. These types of door locks can be unlocked by technology. However, the anti lock function inside the door cannot be unlocked by technology. Therefore, when taking a break at night It is safe only when locked. However, as long as it requires manual operation, it is inevitable that there will be omissions, trouble and even no use because of ignorance, and the anti lock button is behind the indoor door, which requires someone inside can operation When you go on a vacation or business trip, it will not be useful if no one is locked at home. The smart door latch is the anti lock housekeeper, which can automatically lock when you leave home, so as to achieve high-level security.

[Smart latch is easy to install]

The smart door latch installation does not need to replace the lock body, lock cylinder, or remove the original door lock. Anyone can easily complete the installation in three steps and three minutes.

Step 1: Fix the chassis and stick it to the door lock

Step 2: Install the battery into the host

Step 3: Snap the host and the base

The installation can be completed in three steps. Of course, to be officially put into use, further configuration is required, that is, the mobile phone is installed with App client, and the client and snail key are paired and bound with the host.

[Smart Latches Price Civilians]

As mentioned earlier, the high-end smart anti-theft door locks cost tens of thousands of yuan, and the price is relatively high. The official price of smart door latches is 588 yuan, which is more affordable than other high-end anti-theft door locks with higher security levels.

In short, the snail housekeeper's smart latch is a door lock "hanging outside". The installation process does not need to remove and replace the original door lock, but only needs to add additional locks on the basis of the original door lock, so the installation process is simple and convenient. The working principle is to replace human hands to realize automatic locking, and the door can control the locking switch status through mobile phone APP and electronic key. The locking function can not be opened by ordinary key outside the door, so it will not be broken by technical unlocking, so as to achieve a high security standard.

The following are the advantages and characteristics of official publicity:

[Introduction to door latch and accessories]

▲ The size of the intelligent latch host is 156x40x40mm

The size is just suitable for grasping with one hand. It looks like the startled wood on the ancient Yamen counter. "Bang~! Rise to the top~! Powerful~!", wake up, don't hit the table with the latch!

In addition to the red model obtained by the author, there are four exterior colors available, namely gold, silver and blue. Users can choose the appropriate model according to their personal preferences and the color of the security door.

The panel adopts piano paint baking process, and the corners are passivated, so it is bright, beautiful and smooth to the touch.

The design of the latch button is naturally separated from the body by the binding of the indicator light, which is eye-catching but not abrupt. Especially when the indicator light is lit, it is particularly dazzling.

The overall appearance design is fashionable and simple without losing atmosphere, which reveals the extraordinary design skills of the snail housekeeper design team.

The latch button is the most frequently used component. Press and hold for 3 seconds to enter the configuration status, and you can add or remove key operations. Usually, click to open/close the anti lock button.

The square buttons on both sides of the fuselage are the snap buttons for the latch and the fixed chassis. Press this button to install or remove the latch from the door lock.

▲ Status indication of latch button

▲ There are many functional components on the back of the latch, including:

Anti locking adapter, fixed chassis card slot, battery compartment, door latch nameplate, balance base.

▲ Door latch "anti locking button adapter" and "fixed chassis slot"

Fixed chassis card slot: the card slot for the connection between the latch and the fixed chassis.

Anti locking button fitting button:

It is used to drive the anti lock button on the door lock to realize the anti lock switch function. The fitting button of the anti lock button can be disassembled. The author believes that the manufacturer can realize more anti lock buttons of different shapes by replacing the fitting button in consideration of the diversity of the appearance of the anti lock button cap in the market. According to the technicians, the current product has been able to adapt to most of the anti lock buttons on the market. The manufacturer is still collecting the specifications of the anti lock buttons. Subsequent products will also ensure that more specifications of the anti lock buttons can be adapted.

Maximum dimension of the backstack support: width<7mm, length<26mm

▲ In the battery compartment, in addition to four No. 5 alkaline batteries, the sound chamber and direction switch are also set in the compartment.

About the battery: the snail steward has pre configured four No. 5 batteries, and the official introduction is that it can provide half a year's endurance. When the power is about to run out, the latch will repeatedly warn in advance. In case the user fails to replace it in time, the latch will unlock before the power runs out, so as to avoid the door can not be opened when there is no power. The batteries can be replaced by ordinary No. 5 alkaline batteries in the market. The author suggests that the use of rechargeable batteries should be avoided as far as possible. The instantaneous current of rechargeable batteries is too large, which may easily lead to damage to circuit chips. Most household appliance manufacturers will have written warnings to users to avoid using them. The snail steward official did not mention whether the rechargeable batteries are available, so it is better to avoid them. According to the official technicians, the follow-up products will have built-in rechargeable batteries and an external power supply interface.

Voice cavity: voice prompts such as key addition and deletion operation, anti lock switch operation, low power alarm, etc. are sent here.

Direction switch: if the driving direction and switch prompt are inconsistent with the actual anti lock status, this switch can be used for adjustment. If the lock tongue pops up when it rotates clockwise, the switch needs to be turned to the "down" position, otherwise it needs to be turned to the "up" position. According to the author's test, the toggle switch is invalid under the power on state, and it takes effect only after the toggle switch is turned on under the power off state.

▲ Balance base and adjusting wheel

Balance base: It is used as a balance aid after the door latch is installed on the door lock. The maximum adjustment height is 25mm.

Balancing base adjusting wheel: located at the bottom of the latch, used to adjust the protruding height of the balancing base.

▲ Fixed chassis

The back is equipped with 3M strong double-sided adhesive tape, which is pasted and fixed at the anti lock button position of the door lock during installation for the connection and fixation of the door lock and the latch.

▲ Snail key

Fish shaped design, small and light. Click the button to wirelessly control the operation of the latch drive anti locking button switch. During operation, the edge of the button will have a green/blue alternate indicator effect. The built-in power supply can be charged through the Micro USB interface, which is the same as the charging interface of Android smart phones. The self provided hanging ring is convenient to hang together with other keys, and is more suitable for the elderly and children who do not use smart phones.

The duration of the built-in battery has not been officially described yet, which needs to be verified in practice.

The snail key is controlled by communication with the latch through Bluetooth. The author measured that the limit distance between the two can be controlled within 7m without blocking. When the button of the snail key is pressed, a blue indicator light is displayed, indicating that the connection with the latch is in progress. When the key is successfully connected to the latch and a command is sent, the green indicator light will turn to flashing.

[APP Application Interface]

▲ App download and installation

Download and install the Snail Steward App by scanning the QR code. Android Android requires 4.3 and above, and iOS Apple requires 7.0 and above. If the mobile phone has the App permission control function, it is necessary to provide "Allow Bluetooth to open permission". The mobile phone is controlled by connecting the Bluetooth communication with the door latch.

▲ App registration/login/latch activation

When the app runs for the first time, you need to register an account through your mobile phone. After logging in, you will automatically enter the search operation to activate the new latch. If you can't find the latch all the time, you need to check whether the latch is equipped with a battery, powered on, and whether the Bluetooth function is turned on.

▲ App interface display

After successfully activating the latch, the initial main interface of the app is the control interface of the latch. The interface is relatively simple, with only control buttons and statistics of the operating days of the latch. Click the upper left corner to enter the "Latch Information Interface", and click the upper right corner to enter the "User Information Interface".

▲ App latch control

Since the mobile phone communicates with the door latch via Bluetooth, if Bluetooth is turned off, the operation selection interface of "snail management application wants to open Bluetooth, allow or deny" will pop up when running snail butler. Remember to allow. If Bluetooth has just been turned on, the connection between the app and the latch will take about 5-7 seconds, and sometimes the connection will be unsuccessful. The user needs to click the button to search again for the connection to succeed. The connection time and connection success rate between the mobile phone and the latch are subject to the hardware performance of Bluetooth on the mobile phone. It is recommended that the manufacturer improve it. In the case of Bluetooth connection failure, the App automatically tries three times in a row. If the three attempts are unsuccessful, it stops searching for the connection. At present, if the attempt is unsuccessful, it directly waits for the user to operate. It is not smart enough.

The control of the door latch is relatively intuitive. Click the button, and the operation status will be displayed in a rotating animation. After the operation is completed, besides the corresponding voice prompt for the door latch, the mobile phone App will also give the corresponding voice prompt. The white button indicates that the latch is open, and the red button indicates that the latch is closed.

▲ Latch information management interface

Binding latch option: used to add new latch binding or re bind after unbinding. After entering the option, it is the same as the previous interface for activating new latch, and no interface effect display is provided. Other function options are relatively intuitive, as shown in the figure.

The advantage of the app interface is simple and intuitive, while the corresponding disadvantage is that the details are slightly simple, which forms a contrast with the appearance design of the latch. At present, it is only version 1.0.0. The snail steward still needs to work hard on the app to provide users with better operation and visual experience.

[Installation and commissioning]

1. Paste and fix the chassis

Clean the area around the anti lock button of the door lock panel, remove the 3M double-sided adhesive protective film on the fixing dial, align the anti lock button, ensure that the anti lock button is in the center of the fixed chassis circle, press firmly around the fixed chassis, and ensure that it is firmly affixed to the panel.

2. Open the latch battery compartment, and set the direction switch. The reverse lock is clockwise lock. Turn the switch to "down", and vice versa.

3. The battery compartment is loaded with batteries.

4. Turn the direction of the anti lock button to the horizontal "-" state, and use a 1 yuan coin to turn the adapter button to the "-" state. The orientation of the adapter button is consistent with that of the anti lock button.

5. Align the door latch slot with the tenon fixing the chassis, press it vertically, and hear the "click" sound.

6. Adjust the balance adjustment wheel at the bottom of the latch to keep the latch level with the anti-theft door lock.

The installation is now complete!

[Suggestions for users to purchase]

After reading so much, some people may have purchase intention, while some people are still measuring whether it is worth buying. Here are some views of the author for reference.

1、 Can the smart latch open and close the door lock with one key?

After a brief understanding of the door lock structure, the lock tongue of most door locks can be divided into three groups: oblique tongue, column tongue (square column, cylinder), and anti lock tongue. Most oblique tongues can be opened by traditional keys and doorknobs. Most of the column tongue outside the door needs to be opened by a key. These two groups of lock tongue are not controlled by the anti lock button The smart latch only controls one set of anti lock tongue, When opening the door, the intelligent door latch opens the reverse latch, but it still needs to use the traditional key and the doorknob to open the diagonal latch and the pillar latch respectively to fully open the door. Usually, when going out and no one is at home, the key will be used to lock the pillar latch, commonly known as double locking (the door lock with double quick function can be double locked by pushing up the doorknob, without key operation), Therefore, it is impossible to switch the door lock with one key under the condition of double locking.

If the key is not used for locking, that is, only the oblique tongue and anti locking tongue are locked, and the middle column tongue is not locked, there are two cases. The door lock with dual activation function can be opened by pressing down the outside handle. If the door lock without dual activation function cannot be opened by pressing down the door handle, the door cannot be opened by one button.

The main purpose of the smart door latch is to enhance the security of the anti-theft door, not to simplify the door opening operation. Users who want to experience the cool one button switch lock need to consider their own door lock characteristics.

2、 Is the wisdom latch suitable for my door lock?

The key is to see whether the size of the anti lock button cap is within the support range of the intelligent latch anti lock fitting button. At present, the maximum dimensions supported by the anti lock buckle are: width<7mm, length<26mm. Be sure to measure before purchasing, so as not to install and use successfully after purchasing. According to the technicians, the current product has been able to adapt to most of the anti lock buttons on the market. The manufacturer is still collecting the specifications of the anti lock buttons. Subsequent products will also ensure that more specifications of the anti lock buttons can be adapted. If your anti lock button cap is not within the above specifications, you can consider contacting the snail steward directly to find out whether the support has been updated.

3、 Is the smart door lock stable? In case latch There is no power. What if the latch fails, and if the mobile phone or electronic key is out of power or lost?

Is the first answer stable? The official answer is: “ Dual hardware, low power protection, and two sets of core equipment built into the body to ensure that the door latch is safe ” The answer of the author is that there is no absolute, no absolute security, no absolute stability in the world, especially for electronic equipment, who can ensure that there will be no program disorder or accident In case of downtime and hardware damage, we can only say what the probability is and whether the corresponding preventive measures have been taken into consideration in the hardware design. From the official answer, it can be seen that the hardware design has taken preventive measures into consideration, but there is still a lack of a baking machine test report to eliminate the concern, that is, how many hours of continuous operation without failure, how many times of continuous switching without failure, how about the operation in ultra-high temperature environment, and how about the operation in ultra-low temperature environment.

Answer a few of the questions, and don't worry about the power failure of the latch, When the power of the latch is low, the phone app and the latch will repeatedly prompt and alarm, enough to replace the battery in time. The smart latch also has a low power protection function, even if you Self willed, I can't wait until there is no power, because When the power is exhausted, the front door latch will automatically unlock to ensure that the door cannot be opened due to power failure. as fruit you Unfortunately, I can only tell you that the only solution is to ask the locksmith to smash the lock or anti-theft door.

[Suggestions for Snail Steward]

1、 Provide a copy of the machine test report, how long the intelligent door latch works continuously without failure, how many times it is opened and closed continuously without failure, how it operates in ultra-high temperature environment, and how it operates in ultra-low temperature environment. To eliminate users' concerns about hardware stability.

2、 The school imitates Qihoo 360 and cooperates with the insurance company to provide users with an electronic insurance policy purchase service. Users can choose whether to purchase insurance policy service through mobile app distribution. Users who use smart door latches and purchase insurance policies can get corresponding compensation from the insurance company in any case of smashing the door, reducing users' worries about the service.

3、 Develop the Wifi version, or add the wireless control center component, and the latch connects the broadband router through the wireless control center. Access to the Internet can realize remote control. When the user encounters a mobile phone or an electronic key that is out of power or lost, he can contact his family members to open it remotely, adding a solution for the user in case of special circumstances. At the same time, it can also add door opening and closing record and exception reminder functions. Users can remotely control the door lock switch through the mobile phone App to remotely obtain the door lock switch status reminder and exception reminder.

Some people may think that the security of accessing the Internet cannot be guaranteed. The author thinks that it is too careless to deny that there is a security risk in accessing the Internet. Just imagine that if you want to crack the door, you need to have both hacker technology and unlocking technology. Who can have both of these technologies, either a spy or a theft gang, Their target is either a state secret or a listed rich man's treasury, so they don't have to crack the doors of civilians and trample on their identity. Users' concerns about access to the Internet need to be resolved through publicity and guidance from businesses, rather than being avoided.

IV Increase as soon as possible The specifications of the anti lock adaptation buttons are provided with several different specifications. Users no longer need to confirm whether the size of the anti lock button is appropriate before purchase, so as to reduce the return and exchange rate after purchase.

5、 At present, most users of smart electronic products can upgrade their firmware by themselves. Firmware upgrades are used by manufacturers to improve functions and solve new problems in practical applications. Users can get a better use experience through firmware upgrades. However, the door latch does not have the function of online firmware upgrade because it cannot connect to the Internet. Because it does not have the interface to connect to the computer, it does not have the function of offline firmware upgrade. It can only be upgraded by sending back to the manufacturer. It is recommended to add a firmware upgrade scheme for the user end.

6、 When the user's mobile phone is not connected to wifi, or the mobile data is turned on, and the network is not connected, the snail butler app cannot log in and access the switch operation of the latch. It is recommended to log in offline by entering a password or pattern lock when there is no network. It is necessary to take this special situation into account that the network cannot be connected due to mobile phone failure or network failure.

7、 After the app runs, it will only attempt to connect with the latch once. If it fails, it will wait for the user to operate. It will not automatically try several more times, which is not intelligent enough. It is recommended to set the App to automatically try three times in a row. If the three attempts are unsuccessful, the search connection will be stopped.

8、 During the opening and closing process of the latch, voice and indicator color can be used to judge the operation status, but there is no static indication, that is, the current status of the anti lock button is not clear. It is recommended to add the current latch status indication below the round button, without LED light indication. The physical linkage like the fire engine toilet can achieve better display and no power consumption.

IX The timing function is developed. Some users do not lock during the day, but need it at night.

10、 The door latch is expanded or newly designed, which can cover the key hole above the anti lock button. The key adapter buckle is also designed to realize the full control of the anti lock button and the lock cylinder, and realize the one key switch of all locks.

Summary

Chuangchuang Future is a young enterprise in the intelligent door lock industry, It is a dark horse emerging from the outside world, and both enterprises and products have great development prospects. Snail Housekeeper Smart Door Latch was its first product in 2015, It has the advantages of safety, simple installation and civilian price, The product is currently in the public beta stage, and there are inevitably many aspects to be improved.
