Don’t search too hard to buy security doors, just get it right in one step! I want to talk to you about my experience after changing to Yunlu Smart Door.

Don’t know Have you noticed that smart locks are no longer a rare thing? If you go to a new community and take a look, many people have replaced them with smart locks.

My family has been using fingerprints before The experience of locks and unlocking is becoming more and more simple. I think that smart locks are the most important part of smart homes and are the most recommended smart products.

However, smart locks also have some disadvantages. For example, because smart locks are generally after-installed, they cannot perfectly match many anti-theft doors on the market. For example, fingerprint locks are sometimes insensitive to recognition, and some smart lock lock bodies Limited by the thickness of the security door Therefore, the lock body cannot be upgraded to the Overlord lock body with the highest safety factor by itself. However, like the anti-theft doors provided by many developers, the thickness of the door panels is too low, the sound insulation effect is poor, and even air leakage occurs. Houses that are transparent from the north to the south are often in large areas. In windy weather conditions, I heard a whistling sound at the door.

(The neighbor on the left is still using a mechanical lock, and the picture on the right is my home with a smart lock installed)

Yunlu’s purchase journey

So, many people will choose to replace the door provided by the developer and choose an anti-theft door equipped with a smart lock, which is much better in terms of sound insulation and sealing than the door provided by the developer. This is my understanding. [Smart Door Version 1.0]

I had the same idea at first, but then I learned about Yunlu’s smart door. After understanding the overall situation, I felt that this was really [Smart Door Version 2.0]!

Because I have always used Mijia ecological smart products at home, including ceiling lamps, water heaters, smart TVs, etc., I was a little interested when I first learned that it could be connected to Mijia ecological products.

The price of their Y series is still very affordable, just over 10,000 yuan. The anti-theft door is Class A, and it also has face unlock, cat eye, doorbell, temporary password, door open reminder and other extended functions. So After calculation, this configuration was worth it, so I placed the order in mid-September and installed it in early October.

After switching from the anti-theft door sent by ordinary developers to Yunlu smart door, I have probablyI have been using it for almost a month, and I really want to chat with you about my experience.

(After changing the door, compare with the neighbor\’s house)

Why do I say it is smart door 2.0? Compared with the anti-theft door + smart lock solution, Yunlu Smart Door is actually more liberal in terms of integration and intelligent design, and the experience is much better than the former.

We started well Let’s talk about the Yunlu smart door Y1 that I changed.

Integrated design +To solve the power supply problem, Yunlu is the best

First of all, Yunlu Smart Door can better integrate various functional devices on the door, such as face unlocking, cat eyes, handles, inner door screens, and other auxiliary unlocking methods such as password locks. It is not a patch type. The appearance is more beautiful overall, integrated design,All functional equipment is completely embedded in the door , the big difference is that you can no longer see the traditional door lock hanging on the door.

(fully embedded design)

There are also some battery life problems that traditional smart locks cannot solve, and Yunlu solves them in one go. Because the solution provided by Yunlu Smart Door is to connect to normal power and add a built-in battery, The door can be connected to the power supply and always charged. Even if there is a power outage, it can be powered by the battery, and the 40-day battery life after a power outage is the longest on the market, this solves the problem of charging the smart lock.

The picture below is a coil wrapped with wires. Yunlu Smart Door will also provide an 86 box, 220V to 12V safe low-voltage electricity. If you have not decorated yet and want to install a smart door, you can install it next to the inner door hinge. To reserve the power supply, I only replaced the door. There was no power supply slot reserved in the early stage. The roughest solution was to use a power strip. In fact, you can also ask the electrician to help wire the wiring and install it in the wall, which is safer and more beautiful.

(If you just change the door, you should consider whether there is a power supply at the door)

There is another advantage of being connected to regular electricity. For example, the inner door screen can use a larger screen (Yunlu is 10.1 inches, which is very large. People can clearly see what is outside the door in the living room), and the cat\’s eye is also built in. Once inside the door, there is no traditional peephole, so you don’t have to worry about thieves trying to pry the door open.

(The screen is so big, it should be the largest market)

Logistics and installation experience can be said to be in place in one step

Some of the quality of security doors can be seen, such as the door grade markings, A, B, C and D. Class A is the highest anti-theft grade. Subsequently, the thicker the door panel, the more The more materials there are, the heavier the door will be.

After the Yunlu Smart Door Y1 was shipped from logistics, I found that the door was really heavy, probably weighing more than 200 kilograms. There were wooden frames on the outside of the door, and the entire door was wrapped in thick foam plastic. Fortunately, there is an elevator, otherwise it would be really difficult to lift it up.

(Except for the inner door handle, everything else is installed in one step)

Just to add. Before logistics, a dedicated master will come to measure the size of the door opening and guide the appropriate size. We will also call to confirm before delivery. After the logistics arrives, we will make an appointment for the installation time. The whole thing is pre-sale. In terms of after-sales, I think it is more convenient than buying offline. The main reason is that the service is very good, such as coming to help measure the size. If you don’t know the size of the door and measure it yourself, it is easy to buy the wrong one.

(The master will confirm the door opening size and appearance size)

The installation went smoothly, but there were some minor problems. The main reason was that the door thickness of Yunlu Smart Door Y1 was much thicker than the old door sent by the developer at that time, so part of the door cover and floor tiles had to be cut off. , it can be installed. Therefore, it is troublesome for the installation master to not only dismantle the old door, but also cut the door cover and cut the floor tiles.

(Most of them were removed together with the door covers, but because I didn’t want to replace the door covers, I asked the master to handle it carefully)

I specifically measured the thickness of the door, it was almost 10 centimeters wide

Y1 appearance, unlocking, hardware experience, comprehensive experience analysis

After installation, let’s take a look at the overall design of Yunlu Smart Door Y1.

The entire outer door is made of finely carved steel door body, as well as reinforced door frames and thresholds. As I said before, the integrated design integrates the smart cat eye and smart lock, so that in terms of appearance , the whole is a flat surface without any protrusions, and even the door handles are designed to be recessed, which greatly improves the overall appearance. These modules are placed in the black glass mirror in the middle.

(The fingerprint lock and the handle are in the same place, and it will light up when you reach over)

It is worth mentioning that Yunlu Smart Door also supports 3D structured light face recognition unlocking, which is much more convenient than fingerprint locks and password locks, and you are not afraid of carrying things. When standing in front of the door, strangers Swipe your face or use photos and videos to fake the situation. At this time, the camera surroundings will If the red light lights up, it means that the facial recognition failed. If the face unlock is entered, the blue light will light up after the facial recognition is successful. Compared with fingerprint unlocking, this experience is really better from exiting the elevator to quickly entering the house. Much better than ordinary smart locks

(face unlock + power-assist switch, power-assisted door opening is not too obvious)

It is worth mentioning that unlocking by brushing the face is especially suitable for families with elderly and children at home. It can cover people 1.2-2.2 meters away. Children can also unlock the lock by brushing the face, so don’t worry. It is difficult to take fingerprints of the elderly and children But you can\’t enter the house. Y1 also has a function that even the P series does not have, which is to assist in opening the door. After unlocking with face recognition, Yunlu Y1 smart door will automatically assist in opening the door at an angle, just pull the door gently. You can open the door.

Of course, in addition to face unlocking, Yunlu also retains the traditional fingerprint unlocking function. The door handle adopts a recessed design, and the fingerprint module is just at the thumb position of the door handle. When the handle is placed on the At the same time, the fingerprint module can be reached with the thumb, which is very ergonomic. According to actual testing, unlocking through fingerprint is also very fast. However, with face unlocking, there are very few opportunities to use fingerprint unlocking.

(Fingerprint unlocking is at the thumb, other fingers are inserted in, and the door can be unlocked and opened directly)

For password unlocking, just touch the light to unlock the password. It supports 20-digit false passwords. When there are people in the corridor, you can enter a few more digits so that the password is not easily leaked. Worth it The point is, and ordinary The difference between smart locks is that after entering the password for ordinary smart locks, you still have to enter the # key to unlock. This door of Yunlu will automatically open the door after entering the correct password. This design adds great points to the unlocking experience.

(Light up when touched, supports dummy password)

Regarding the use of NFC module unlocking, in the APP, you can add Xiaomi bracelets, children\’s watches, and Xiaomi mobile phones that support NFC functions. Once added successfully, you can use these devices to unlock with one touch. For example, through Xiaomi The phone can be unlocked by touching the NFC area. However, because Yunlu Smart Door supports the Mijia ecosystem, it is currently only available for Mi series products. It would be better if other brands of phones that support NFC functions can be added.

Yunlu Smart Door Y1 also retains the traditional mechanical key unlocking function. There is a protective cover on the outside of the mechanical key hole, which can be opened by pressing the edge. When you see the mechanical key hole, the official comes with three mechanical keys as standard. , it can be used in emergencies, but it is not used at ordinary times. It is recommended to keep the mechanical key in the car or at the home of a relative in case of emergency.

In terms of cat eyes, Equipped with a 2.3-megapixel high-definition lens, it supports 170° super wide-angle capability and wider coverage. It can cover almost all areas at the door, no more blind spots. The cat\’s eye is also equipped with 8 infrared lights and a built-in low-light sensor, so you can clearly see what\’s going on outside the door no matter at night or when the corridor lights are dim.

A doorbell is also designed in the cat\’s eye area. The doorbell has white light. In addition to being used as a doorbell, Yunlu also gives the doorbell more functions. For example, when the owner is not at home, the visitor rings the doorbell. If you don\’t get a response, you can leave a message to the owner by pressing the doorbell for a long time. This design is also quite interesting.

(Long press the doorbell to leave a message)

Yunlu\’s lock body uses a fully automatic Bawang lock body (all their products are), and the lock cylinder is a C-level lock cylinder. Because the door panel is thicker, the lock body looks very domineering. Compared with The previous lock body at home was thin, and the Overlord lock body of Yunlu Smart Door is stronger and safer.

(Mechanical and electrical integration, it will automatically lock after closing the door)

Yunlu smart door Y1 is different from ordinary anti-theft doors in that it has a special open hinge design and the door opening angle can be expanded to a maximum of 170°, which is ideal for daily needs.It is very practical when moving some large furniture. You don\’t have to worry about not having an open door, blocking larger furniture from entering the house. Moreover, an exposed hinge design like this has a higher load-bearing capacity than a concealed hinge, and the door is not easily deformed.

(Yunlu uses an exposed hinge, which has better overall load-bearing and is less likely to deform)

The filling material is aviation aluminum foil, which has good thermal insulation and sound insulation. There are also silent tapes on the door.

Y1 inner door With the APP experience, you can manage the entire door with your mobile phone

I chose the default brown wood yellow for the inner door. Yunlu also has white, slate gray, apricot, etc.You can choose (some textures are made, but customization fees are required). The brown wood-yellow color of the inner door is pretty good-looking, and it goes well with the modern home style. It immediately upgraded my old house a lot.

The door handle adopts a push-down unlocking method. There is a child lock button under the door handle. When the child lock button is turned on, the handle cannot be pressed down to unlock. There is a circular inner lock button at the bottom that can be rotated. Unlock the interior lock so you can\’t enter your home from the outside.

(press-down unlocking and child lock key)

There is a 10.1-inch large screen above the handle. When someone rings the doorbell, you can see what\’s going on outside even if you are sitting on the sofa. The large screen not only looks better, but also allows you to see the actual scene. In terms of experience, it is also more practical than ordinary smart cat-eye small screens. In the display area of ​​the screen, in addition to viewing the scene outside the door in real time, you can also see the current time and today\’s weather temperature.and indoor temperature and humidity. What is almost interesting is that the inner door screen cannot be touched, but at this price, it is indeed… I think their P series can be touched, and it also has dynamic weather display.

Special and handy Compared with the tablet computer inside, everyone can see more intuitively how big this vertical large screen is.

At the bottom of the screen It is a touch bar through which the screen can be lit. In standby mode, it can be used as a clock. Currently, there is only one standby screen, and multiple styles of displaying time should be introduced in the future.

When the door is not closed, the display will prompt that the door is not closed, accompanied by an alarm. Sound. This feature is quite good.

(It will remind you if the door is not closed properly, which is good news for careless people)

Mijia APP remote management

Speaking of remote management, Yunlu smart doors can be managed on the Mijia APP without downloading an additional APP. My smart terminal products all use the Mijia solution , the overall interconnection effect is better

Let’s draw a conclusion first. The experience of connecting to Yunlu smart door through APP is completely different from that of smart lock. Let me talk about the functions of APP that satisfy me most in terms of experience.

First, after the Mijia APP is connected to the Yunlu Smart Door Y1, enter the homepage. Scroll down to the bottom, and you will see a blue long-press unlock button on the front. By long-pressing this button, you can unlock the door within a certain distance. In principle, it is unlocked through Bluetooth. If you hear the doorbell outside and see through the APP that it is an acquaintance visiting, you don\’t have to go to the door to open the door. You can unlock it with one click on your phone. This is something that many smart locks cannot do. However, this function uses Bluetooth, so the mobile phone must maintain an effective connection with the door to achieve it. It has been measured that the remote unlocking function can be realized in the living room and bedroom.

(Or provide a one-time password when you are not at home)

At the same time, based on the powerful Mijia interconnection function, if you have a lot of Mijia devices at home, we can also complete many smart interconnection functions, for example, in the summer , you can set it to automatically turn on the air conditioner and lights after opening the door. After closing the door, you can turn off the water heater, air conditioner, TV, and ceiling lights at home. At the same time, if you have a sweeping robot at home, you can also link it with Mijia. Sweeping robot automatically cleans the room. To be honest, the smart terminal devices currently supporting Mijia are also the most complete. Yunlu Smart Door, as the first smart terminal device at home, also brings more practical usage scenarios to daily smart life.

(You can customize the smart interconnection solution with Xiaomi products)

Second, through APP linkage, you can truly realize the 0-latency remote video calling function that ordinary smart cat eyes cannot achieve. Maybe many people have never used ordinary smart cat eyes and cannot understand why I say 0-latency remote video calling. , anyone who has used a smart cat eye knows that when someone rings the doorbell, the APP prompts that someone is visiting, and when the APP is opened to go to the remote When Cheng video checked, the person had already left, which was very embarrassing, and even the face was not recorded. The biggest difference of Yunlu smart door is that as long as there are visitors, you can open the APP to check the visitors with zero delay, and proceed in a timely manner. For voice calls, Yunlu has done a really good job, making the smart cat eye very practical and no longer useless.

Of course, in addition to these functions, the APP can also push the guest images to the Xiaoai speaker with a screen. When there are guests, the screen of the Xiaoai speaker will simultaneously receive the images captured by the camera, which is very suitable For large-sized families, for example, if Xiao Ai is in a bedroom far away from the door, and someone comes to visit, Xiao Ai can open the door and talk to the visitor in time through the video of Xiao Ai and the visitor.

Third, even if we are busy with work and do not check the arrival information of incoming visitors in time, Yunlu has specially designed a guest message function. When the doorbell rings for 15 seconds, , the smart door will remind visitors to press and hold the doorbell to leave a message, which can last up to 60 seconds. This function allows us to never miss the news of important visitors.

In addition, the smart door has built-in 8GB storage space, which supports storing monitoring images to the smart door. In addition, there is also a free cloud storage function that supports local storage. 30 days and super long video playback. In case of emergency, you can check the video shot outside the door in time.

Enter the Mijia APP, and then enter the Yunlu Smart Door, you can quickly receive the reminder page of someone staying on your mobile phone, and try to view the monitoring screen, view the log page of the smart door, and there is also a particularly useful voice changer. The response interface can be switched to clown sound effects and uncle sound effects. When there are only women and children at home, you can switch to uncle sound effects to avoid unnecessary harassment in case there are bad guys outside the door.

Summary

After switching from the ordinary anti-theft door + smart lock solution to the Yunlu smart door, my biggest feeling is that the whole experience is completely different. For example, the door as a whole has done a better job in sound insulation and noise reduction. After closing the door, you can hardly hear the noise from outside. Moreover, in a house like mine that is transparent from north to south, during the month of use, when encountering cooling and windy weather, I can no longer hear the strong wind whistling at the door. The sealing is very good, and Yunlu The upgraded Bawang lock body of the smart door is indeed stronger than the ordinary lock body. In terms of intelligent control, thanks to the Mijia ecological linkage, more intelligent scenes can be created, such as automatically turning on the ceiling lights and air conditioners in the house after opening the door, automatically turning on the sweeper after closing the door, and other intelligent scenes.

The 3D structured light face recognition unlocking of Yunlu Smart Door itself is also ahead of the entire smart lock industry. It can complete unlocking in 0.7 seconds, greatly improving the efficiency of opening the door. In addition, it also brings fingerprint unlocking, Password unlocking, smart peephole, video surveillance, voice changing response and other functions, and the external power supply and built-in 2500 mAh large-capacity battery solution of the smart door design allow the smart door to stay online at all times, which is something that ordinary smart locks cannot do of. If you plan to replace your entry security door or install a smart door in a new house, and you also consider cost-effectiveness, the Yunlu Smart Door Y1 is highly recommended.
