1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:09,040
You're probably wondering why I'm shooting this at my house. That's because the year is 2025 and I still

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:14,960
don't have a smart door lock until today.

3
00:00:10,559 --> 00:00:16,480
This is it, folks. The Alfred DB2S

4
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:20,560
key-BL. Why this one, you ask? Well, I could say

5
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:24,320
it's because it unlocks five different ways. With a timer, with their mobile

6
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:27,760
app, with a touch sensitive pin code, with an RFID chip, or even with a good

7
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:31,599
oldfashioned key. I could say it's because of its flexible connectivity.

8
00:00:29,359 --> 00:00:36,239
gives you Bluetooth or with accessories. It can be Wi-Fi connected, Z-Wave or

9
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:41,440
Ziggby. Or I could say that it's because it looks stylish. Does anyone know what

10
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:45,920
a sexy door lock would look like? The point is, it's not any of those things.

11
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:50,559
It's because of this accessory from Y Charge. We actually first checked out

12
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:54,800
their technology 7 years ago when we showed this wireless power beaming light

13
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:59,680
fixture that managed to run even a moving train and featured detection for

14
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:05,680
human skin. so that if you ever got in the way of its infrared beam, it would

15
00:01:02,559 --> 00:01:08,400
turn off so it doesn't, you know, cook

16
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:12,479
you. Cool, right? Let's take a look. This is really exciting for me because

17
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:16,960
as soon as I first saw this technology, I was 100% on board. Like, you could

18
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:20,000
retrofit every table in a restaurant to have phone chargers on them because you

19
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:23,759
could just have, you know, light fixtures that beam power to little

20
00:01:22,320 --> 00:01:28,320
receiver batteries or something like that. or you could have um electronic

21
00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:32,640
price tags all over your retail store that never need to have their batteries

22
00:01:30,159 --> 00:01:38,960
changed. It's so flipping cool. It's just that I think the price has been a

23
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:43,200
major challenge for folks. What even is all this stuff? All right, we've got a

24
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:49,360
little base station for what seems to be the wireless power beaming unit. Okay,

25
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:52,960
couple screws on here. Looks like it goes a little something like that. This

26
00:01:51,119 --> 00:01:57,119
will have to be within line of sight of your door. But what's cool about their

27
00:01:55,119 --> 00:02:01,040
technology is it sends such a focused beam that you don't have the inverse

28
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:05,119
square power drop off that you get with other wireless power technologies like

29
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:09,840
for example chi which is used for charging your phone.

30
00:02:08,399 --> 00:02:14,000
Not much else in here in terms of accessories. We've got a wall wart, one

31
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:18,239
of the little modular ones. Clip on my North American standard. And then things

32
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:23,200
get really interesting because the next thing in the package is, you guessed it,

33
00:02:20,879 --> 00:02:27,280
a battery. Why do I need a battery? I'm supposed to have wireless power. Any

34
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:31,520
device that uses Y charge for its wireless transmission and wireless

35
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:35,360
receiving is still going to need either a battery or some kind of super

36
00:02:33,599 --> 00:02:40,000
capacitor in it so that in the event that the power is interrupted, it's

37
00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:44,000
still able to operate unlike the train that we showed in our demo all those

38
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:49,040
years ago. So, this is a small rechargeable lithium-ion battery that

39
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:51,519
should last functionally forever, which

40
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:54,400
is to say not forever. But hey, at least this can be opened up with a couple of

41
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:58,959
screws. So, maybe I could just huck a different one in there. This thing better not bulge, you guys. Lithium

42
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:03,360
batteries don't like to be charged all the time. What else we got in here?

43
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:07,440
There's this piece, which has another battery in it. This is the one for the

44
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:11,680
lock. I don't know what the crap this is. See there? There's a little battery

45
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:15,840
there and plugs into the Alfred and power receiver. What's this for? Does

46
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:19,040
this just like Does this like charge your phone? Yeah. Now I want to know.

47
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:22,000
I'm going to be a giant dork and I'm going to have a USBC thing on my phone.

48
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:27,280
So, I was just going to put this like here. So, it's kind of pointed at my door, right?

49
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:31,480
Stylish. It's a good thing I have a sense of humor about myself.

50
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:38,319
I'm up. Oh, cool. They got what looks like a little uh quarter20 mount there.

51
00:03:36,799 --> 00:03:43,920
>> Yeah. So, you got lots of mounting options. There is another port on here.

52
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:50,239
There's a type-C port. 12vt 2 amp power in. So, I guess that's just one of the

53
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:53,760
options. Cool. So, that's there.

54
00:03:50,239 --> 00:03:55,680
The power. Okay. Now, what is it going

55
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:58,640
to do? Do I have a setup guide that I'm missing? >> Yeah, you took out the paperwork.

56
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:03,760
>> I did. Yeah. >> That doesn't seem like something I would do. Oh, yeah. There it is. Yeah. Yeah.

57
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:08,239
Good. Quick start guide. Oo. Clear line of sight. 80° field of view. Wow. 80°

58
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:12,480
field of view. That's pretty big. The transmitter will map the room for a few

59
00:04:10,879 --> 00:04:17,040
minutes. Then it will run a charging cycle sequentially powering each

60
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:22,079
receiver that it sees for 1 hour. Configurable. Okay, so green means it is

61
00:04:19,519 --> 00:04:25,680
looking for receivers. Well, I'm going to leave this here then

62
00:04:23,919 --> 00:04:31,120
while we work on our lock and we'll see if it starts charging at some point. You

63
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:33,759
thought you missed blind day? Wrong. Ah,

64
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:38,720
we found some more cuts to make. Save $20 on a mystery screwdriver and get one

65
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:43,600
of five exclusive Lime Day colorways. Save $15 on our iconic double wall

66
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:47,440
vacuuminssulated water bottles. Buy a precision bit set and screwdriver bundle

67
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:51,759
and we'll throw in a free Jerryri everything knife. Killer deals, right?

68
00:04:49,759 --> 00:04:56,880
And best of all, you get free shipping on every order over $175

69
00:04:54,479 --> 00:05:01,840
if you're on the US site and every order over $250 Canadian if you're shopping

70
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:08,720
from anywhere else. So hurry, visit lmd.gg. GG/Lime. The clock's ticking.

71
00:05:05,199 --> 00:05:10,479
Let's modify my Alfred Smart Lock. Here

72
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:15,120
we go. Man, this thing's freaking heavy. Can you feel it in your testicles yet?

73
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:23,680
>> Oh, that's what that is. >> How hard could this be? Right. Mhm.

74
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:25,840
Yeah. Oh, good. Okay. This is a door

75
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:31,919
open or closed sensor. I don't actually need this cuz I have one already. Key.

76
00:05:27,919 --> 00:05:34,479
Ooh, little RFID tag for your keychain.

77
00:05:31,919 --> 00:05:38,400
I want to get one in my finger so I can be like, I'm home. Man, I'm so stoked on

78
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:44,400
this. Being able to let people in remotely to my house and stuff like that. You can give them like a onetime

79
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:48,880
use code. It's great for like uh Airbnbs or deliveries to apartments or just all

80
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:54,960
kinds of cool stuff. Here's a big fat battery. Ha, don't need you. Let's

81
00:05:51,199 --> 00:05:57,759
follow the modification instructions.

82
00:05:54,960 --> 00:06:01,919
New Alfred face plate. Unscrew the face plate.

83
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:06,479
Is this How's this come? Oh yeah, there you go. There you go. So, the face is

84
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:09,199
off. Use the fabric pull tab to remove

85
00:06:06,479 --> 00:06:13,199
the old battery module and set it aside. How the freaky batteries does this thing

86
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:17,120
come with? What's hilarious about Y charge partnering with these guys on

87
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:20,240
this lock is that out of like all the smart locks, this is one of the ones

88
00:06:18,479 --> 00:06:24,160
that needs the wireless charging least. Like I think this thing lasts for like a

89
00:06:21,840 --> 00:06:28,160
year on that battery. But that's my whole thing with like batterypowered

90
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:31,759
smart devices is as soon as you have one of them on like every one of your

91
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:36,080
stupid, you know, locks and every one of your stupid, you know, window sensors.

92
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:39,199
You're replacing one of these things like a couple times a week. And a lot of

93
00:06:37,840 --> 00:06:47,120
them come with just like random proprietary batteries. It's just it's not convenient. I want everything to be

94
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:48,720
hardwired or at the very least airwired.

95
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:52,800
This is still not charging this thing, so I don't know how that works. Plug the

96
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:57,759
cable from the new face plate into the new battery module. So, this bigger

97
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:02,720
battery was supposed to be the one that was in there. And this that was in there

98
00:07:00,479 --> 00:07:06,840
I was supposed to put in. I see. All right. Time to plug this in there.

99
00:07:07,599 --> 00:07:16,120
This goes in a little something like that. Yeah. That insert and tighten the

100
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:16,120
screw from step one to complete.

101
00:07:17,759 --> 00:07:22,880
That just does not fit quite as nicely as the OEM cover. It looks all right. I

102
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:30,400
don't think it's the kind of thing you'd ever notice unless you knew what you're looking for. All right, I have upgraded

103
00:07:26,639 --> 00:07:31,919
the Alfred with wireless power. I don't

104
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:39,080
know if I'm convinced that's working. Yeah, it's still green. It hasn't detected this. I assume removing the old

105
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:39,080
thing is part of the dillio.

106
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:46,160
Oh, lordy. This one shifted, too. Oh, wow. I never noticed that before. That's

107
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:50,800
the thing. Never look that close at your house because as soon as you do it just

108
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:52,720
looks like crap. All right.

109
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:56,000
Ar she blows. I probably don't really need instructions, right? Like it

110
00:07:54,400 --> 00:08:03,440
probably just goes in pretty much the way the old one came out, right? Okay.

111
00:07:59,919 --> 00:08:06,160
That is not the size of the hole at all.

112
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:12,319
Or hear me out. Yeah. Look at that.

113
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:17,360
Technology. Okay. I was supposed to do this first.

114
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:21,039
Wait, what? How the heck am I supposed to get this

115
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:26,560
cable around it? This thing really assumes I have a lot more room in this

116
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:29,280
hole in my door. Oh boy. Wait, is that

117
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:33,519
as far as it goes? That what? You got to be kidding me.

118
00:08:31,919 --> 00:08:39,120
Here. No, no, no, no, no, no. There's two depths. There's two depths. How is

119
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:42,800
this so hard to move? There we go.

120
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:47,200
Nice. Okay, there we go. Wow.

121
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:50,000
>> Oh yeah. Oh, buddy. Buddy, you have to

122
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:55,480
turn that. Oh, yeah. That's Well, it's more about girth than length anyway. How

123
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,480
are we going to hold this on?

124
00:08:55,600 --> 00:09:04,160
Nice. Yes.

125
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:06,320
Yes. Success. Yes.

126
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:09,440
Oh, yeah. Bud, I just got the two screws. Who needs all these screws?

127
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:12,640
They're ridiculous. So, this would keep it from twisting for sure, but I don't

128
00:09:11,279 --> 00:09:16,640
know if I care about that. The gasket seems good enough. I don't want to put any holes in my door. These two I could

129
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:20,080
put in because those are where the old one would go if I ever wanted to swap

130
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:23,839
this out. All right. You happy, Mark? You happy, Mark? Are you satisfied?

131
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:29,920
>> Very. >> Are you not entertained? >> Oh, this is great. I'm so Oh, this is

132
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:34,880
perfect. >> Wicked smart.

133
00:09:32,959 --> 00:09:40,240
You can fit so much security in there and convenience. Simplicity. Why is the

134
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:43,640
S used so much?

135
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:52,640
Now for the third time I put it in the modified battery. I amuse myself. I got

136
00:09:50,399 --> 00:09:56,880
to amuse somebody. So in here we got breaking entry hall 24vt power. I mean

137
00:09:55,760 --> 00:10:01,360
that would have worked. I could have just run power to it. I just wish I knew

138
00:09:59,519 --> 00:10:04,959
how much it cost. Wire charge literally did wouldn't even tell us how much it

139
00:10:02,959 --> 00:10:08,160
cost. We got like a range. And I think even that we got from the verge. Hey,

140
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:13,200
look at that. They put a convenient little red mark on there for you.

141
00:10:11,680 --> 00:10:17,680
Yes. Now's the time. I'm putting in the last

142
00:10:15,519 --> 00:10:21,600
screw. Head down to the comments. Tell me all the stuff I did wrong. It's too

143
00:10:19,279 --> 00:10:26,640
late for me to fix it. Well, it doesn't move. So, that's good. Do I need to

144
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:29,440
power it on? If only you told me sooner about our

145
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:34,240
sponsor. >> Door is not locked. >> Shut up. Thanks to Corsair for

146
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:38,720
sponsoring this video. Their Frame 5000D midtower case takes the fan favorite

147
00:10:36,399 --> 00:10:41,839
4000D and adds a few features that you didn't even know you need, but you're

148
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:46,880
going to love to have. It now supports up to 450 mm long GPUs, so your 50

149
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:52,640
series cards are all good to go. You can throw an even larger 420 mm radiators,

150
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:57,360
and their allnew infrar mounting system lets you easily go wild with your fan

151
00:10:54,880 --> 00:11:03,440
configuration. Speaking of fans, it even comes with four0 mm big boys. no matter

152
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:07,440
if you get the ARGB or the regular version. Oh, and of course, it's

00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:15,839
description. Well, well, there's your problem right there. There's wood. I'll

155
00:11:13,839 --> 00:11:18,800
need my chisel after all. I found this hatchet.

156
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:23,360
>> This is safe. >> I couldn't find a hammer. >> Yeah. Yeah, it's rusty, too.

157
00:11:22,079 --> 00:11:27,600
>> Yeah, it's pretty It's pretty dull. I think that probably like it won't cut

158
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:30,320
anything. I know it's uncomfortable. It really is like >> Oh, no.

159
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:39,160
>> Oh, no. I got rust on you. >> Workers comp. >> Get the old one, two, you know. One,

160
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:39,160
two. She's clear.

161
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:53,040
Hey, it's me, Alfredo. Okay, but I have a

162
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:54,399
problem. He knows all the way. So, I

163
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:57,680
need to fix that. First, I want to see if this thing charges. Oh, hey. Hey,

164
00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:02,240
it's blue. It's blue. >> Can you get in the way? Yeah, I sure can.

165
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:07,440
Boom. >> All right, I bent the thing a bit, so it

166
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:13,839
should close. Nice. Boom. Z Waves. I'm going to use

167
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:19,200
the app anyway for now. Alfred home. Oh goodness. 3.2 stars. That's always a

168
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:23,360
good sign. Place palm over keypad to activate lock. Please keep your phone

169
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:29,040
Bluetooth on. Hey,

170
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:32,240
select Bluetooth lock. Yes. into the

171
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:34,160
master code of the lock to verify your

172
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:37,440
identity. I guess it's probably in the packaging for the lock. Oh, look at

173
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:42,079
that. There's templates for drilling and everything. Wow, we sure skipped all of

174
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:45,880
that. By default, it's just 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

175
00:12:42,560 --> 00:12:45,880
>> master code.

176
00:12:46,079 --> 00:12:52,639
>> Verification failed. This used to be an LTT video and Elijah was working on it.

177
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:58,959
He must have changed the master access code. Name the lock. F Elijah. No. No,

178
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:03,680
I'll answer something else. Tap to unlock.

179
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:08,880
Hey, let's go. You can set pin code keys, access cards, Bluetooth

180
00:13:06,399 --> 00:13:14,079
invitations, whatever these are. Door lock was shared to zero member lock mode

181
00:13:11,680 --> 00:13:18,079
away mode. I'm okay. What's that? Enabling this feature restricts all user

182
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:21,519
pin codes except the master pino key in appex. Okay, cool. Okay, it's got all

183
00:13:19,839 --> 00:13:26,880
the modes and everything. Onetouch unlock by simply touching the keypad. No

184
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:31,440
pin codes required. Hey, auto relock. I want that privacy mode. Bluetooth energy

185
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:34,560
saving. Yeah, I don't care. I don't care.

186
00:13:32,959 --> 00:13:39,360
Now, I want to see if it's charging. So, I'm going to step out of the way.

187
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:43,839
And theoretically, it's going to charge. What's that? 63% battery right now. Hey.

188
00:13:42,079 --> 00:13:47,440
Hey, it's doing it. It's doing it. So, it's flashing.

189
00:13:45,680 --> 00:13:50,800
It's blue. How do I tell if it's charging, though? I guess it kind of

190
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:54,959
makes sense that something like this normally wouldn't really need an active

191
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:58,000
charging indicator. like you would, you know, plug it in and it would, you know,

192
00:13:56,560 --> 00:14:03,680
charge. And how much power does this thing output? We've got the R1HP, which

193
00:14:00,399 --> 00:14:05,440
is rated for 300 m, meaning that you're

194
00:14:03,680 --> 00:14:10,320
not going to be powering devices directly off of it. It's really intended

195
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:14,800
for like smart home IoT applications like this where it juices up a battery

196
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:18,639
over time and then it gets used intermittently. It's really cool as

197
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:22,880
heck. I just not sure if they're going to be able to accelerate their adoption

198
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:25,839
if it remains very expensive like it is. Oh my goodness, it's warm. Oh, not that

199
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:29,279
warm actually. Okay, never mind. It's good. Anyway, I'm super excited to try

200
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:33,600
this out. I'll update you guys on WAN Show if I have any thoughts about it in the longer term. It's time for dinner.
