    Hello, thanks for the great review. A quick question, I plan to connect the floor sensor (as a check point for the underfloor hearing). I noticed in the Meross app that you have the option to choose either 1) air and floor sensor or 2) just a floor sensor. If I choose the option air and floor sensor, then which one would it use to control temperature as the room temperature is expected to be less than the floor?

    Hi Mark - really informative videos thank you! Like you I have a door which requires an extra little turn on the key to gain entry from outside. Does this mean that I would be forced to use the Nuki app to unlock my front door with HomeKit currently only supporting “locked” and “unlocked”?

    • @MarksTechVlogs
      @MarksTechVlogs 17 дней назад

      The simple answer is yes… The more complicated answer is that if your door is locked then unlocking from the home app will also do that little extra turn but if all you need to do is that little extra turn then you’ll need to use the Niki app…I usually trigger that open from a Niki widget on my home screen The ‘open’ feature has actually been added to Matter 1.2 so at some point for the 4th gen Nuki locks it should make it into the Apple Home app but I have no idea when Apple will add it!

    I have used Nuki 2 and 3 and also Yale Linus in several Holiday Rentals that I manage. I switched all of them to Switchbot, for several reasons : Price, Battery Life and Functions. Battery life is 50% better than Yale and 40% better than Nuki. The Mini Hub (I also have the Hub 2 in several houses is cheap and had a at least a 5 x longer range than the hubs from Nuki and Yale, which enables me to pair 3 locks in certain houses with 1 hub. Besides that in many Holiday Rentals the hub now also pilotes the airconditioning from a distance, which means big savings for the owners. In certain house I have lights at the entrance coupled to the switchbot, so that when the lock opens the door a light goes on as well. The Switchbot lock allows temporary codes which can be set for 15 minutes minimum and also unique codes that can be used only once. You mention that the Switchbot Pro Lock does not have that ? I will find that out tomorrow when I will install 4 of those for a new listing. The Switchbot helpdesk is super reactive and offer great service. I am sure that the functions of the old Switchbot lock will (soon) be available for the Pro Lock if that is not already the case. We use wifi for all our locks and Switchbot costs half the price of Nuki, offers more functions, and is sooo much quieter than the loud Nuki lock. The only thing for which Nuki is ‘’better’’ is that Nuki has integrations with more rental software companies than Switchbot. But I don’t use that functionnality, we welcome all our guests personnally and then let them choose their code for the duration of their stay until their check-out time. Switchbot also is more compatible with more keys and knobs than any other smartlock.

    Hi, what does it not do that the previous mini does?

      Essentially it’s just the addition of Matter support. There’s a handy table on this page comparing the old and new mini’s alongside the Hub 2 uk.switch-bot.com/products/switchbot-hub-mini-matter-enabled

    Hi. Useful vlog thank you. I have Apple phones but I have no idea what the apple HomeKit is that you refer to. Do I need a hub or apple tv or does this work on my phone? You mentioned having apple tv but is this necessary? Thanks.

      Hey, so HomeKit is Apple’s name for devices that work/appear in the Home app on your iPhone. If you get the Ultion Nuki Plus which has WiFi built in you don’t need anything else for out of home access but if you get the base model then you’ll need something like a HomePod Mini or Apple TV which will act as a hub so you have out of home access

    my door has a split spindle (door locks when u close it becasue the outside handledoesn't pull the lock back - they key does that

      @MarksTechVlogs 26 дней назад

      I think that's the same as mine although mine only has one actual spindle but even if the door is unlocked from the outside I still need to put the key in and give it an extra turn for it to open from the outside, is that the same as yours? If so either the Nuki or Switchbot Lock Pro would work

      The hard wiring is easy, you just need a small Philips screwdriver and the wires with the hard wire kit just wrap around the connectors and you tighten the screws. The manual has instructions for this too
