WEBVTT 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:07.120 We're here at the brand new LT tech house where I'm going to be uninstalling 00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:11.440 this old lock because Aara sponsored this video for us to check out their new 00:00:09.120 --> 00:00:15.440 smart lock U400 which I will be installing. This thing is so cool 00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:20.480 because I hate having anything extra in my life at all or on my person. I don't 00:00:18.400 --> 00:00:24.400 want to have house keys. I don't want to have a car key. I don't want to have a 00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:28.320 wallet. If I can just use only my phone for everything, that would be great. Or 00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:32.079 even less than your phone. That's what this puppy allows you to do. You don't 00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:36.559 even have to use your fingerprint or keypad, though you can. You can just 00:00:34.480 --> 00:00:41.600 walk up to it and it will unlock. All right. In the box, easy setup with the 00:00:39.680 --> 00:00:46.239 Accara Home app. There's a QR code there. Some instructions, 00:00:44.160 --> 00:00:49.840 presumably some hardware, a little template for setting it up on your door, 00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:53.039 especially if you have to drill new holes or chisel stuff out. There's a 00:00:51.680 --> 00:00:59.199 little bit of hardware in here and a little adapter plate guy. This side up. 00:00:56.480 --> 00:01:04.400 This looks like a rechargeable battery via USBC. 00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:07.520 And the lock itself, 00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:09.360 this is a matte black, very minimal 00:01:07.520 --> 00:01:14.799 design. There's the deadbolt you turn over. You've got the inside part where 00:01:11.600 --> 00:01:18.960 the battery goes and this little squishy 00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:21.280 silicone ring for sealing and the front 00:01:18.960 --> 00:01:24.560 outside part where a little door reveals an actual physical keyhole for your 00:01:22.960 --> 00:01:29.520 grandparents. what I think is like a biometric little 00:01:26.880 --> 00:01:34.320 pump. And according to the box, it'll be this area that illuminates with a keypad 00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:38.159 that you can capacitively interact with. Installing a deadbolt is super easy. I 00:01:36.479 --> 00:01:42.079 assure you, you can do this yourself. Now, all you need to do in general is 00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:46.960 you're going to have a piece like this that comes with this lock that goes in 00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:51.439 there. This rod fits through the little slot in there and then connects over 00:01:49.520 --> 00:01:55.439 here. And then the wire is going to feed through that hole and plug in over here. 00:01:53.200 --> 00:02:00.000 That's the basics. Now, however, we run into a little snag over here. The piece 00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:05.520 that comes with the Accara U400, see it has this little rectangular guy that is 00:02:02.240 --> 00:02:07.840 meant to nest in a carved out little 00:02:05.520 --> 00:02:11.440 slot on your door. Now, this door does not have that. I'm not prepared to take 00:02:09.440 --> 00:02:15.440 out an oscillating saw and a chisel to carve such a recess in this door of the 00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:18.800 tech house cuz I'm not sure we're allowed to, to be honest. So, don't do 00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:24.959 what we're doing. We're sitting proud like this. We're just trying to get this shoot done. And you know what? It works. 00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:29.200 One other note, while we're in the latch zone here, if you put it in and it looks 00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:33.200 like it's not going to be centered in there, you might have to adjust the back 00:02:31.040 --> 00:02:36.840 set, which you do by just turning it. See how it gets longer? 00:02:39.519 --> 00:02:45.120 Now, it's time for the hardware. Now, you can see from the previous lock that 00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:48.959 was on here, it required drilling into this door. This lock doesn't need that 00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:54.879 because of this puppy that we saw earlier. I figured out what it's for. It 00:02:51.200 --> 00:02:57.680 goes on here like so. 00:02:54.879 --> 00:03:02.319 And you can see now that there are spots for bolts here which will go into the 00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:06.400 other piece that's on the other side and sandwich it. Once you put this side on, 00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:11.120 you got these little screws that are included that go into these holes 00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:18.040 through here and into these motherboard standoff like kind of receptacles and 00:03:13.440 --> 00:03:18.040 not into your door. Rent friendly. 00:03:18.640 --> 00:03:25.040 Next, we have to put in the battery. And this is really interesting how this works. You can pop this out of here and 00:03:22.480 --> 00:03:29.360 go charge it somewhere else. Or you can charge this while it's in here without 00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:34.159 even taking off this plate by using the USB port that's down here. Or if you get 00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:38.239 locked out of your house, the batter is dead. You don't have your keys, nothing. 00:03:36.239 --> 00:03:43.840 You can still actually charge it from the outside by using the USB port down 00:03:41.200 --> 00:03:48.400 here. Just a note, these cavities are pretty narrow. They're actually too 00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:49.760 narrow for our LT screwdriver to go in 00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:54.959 there. So, either get one of our precision kits or something like a fix 00:03:51.920 --> 00:03:56.959 shaft. Oh my god, not magnetic. I really 00:03:54.959 --> 00:04:02.239 wish they had included like a really inexpensive screwdriver or Allen key to 00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:07.280 do this. A lot of products do. Now that we're installed, the next step is to 00:04:03.920 --> 00:04:08.799 pair this to the app with a QR code. 00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:12.480 Now, I have to bind the door lock by bringing my phone close to it and 00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:16.880 pressing this button. Added successfully. Time to name it. 00:04:14.799 --> 00:04:24.960 I've added a keypad password and now I'm going to add a fingerprint. So, I have 00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:26.800 15 seconds to put my fingy on here. Ooh. 00:04:24.960 --> 00:04:31.479 >> Close the door inside without locking it. Then press start. Calibration. 00:04:31.919 --> 00:04:39.759 Calibration successful. I've got the lock in my Apple Home app. I can hit 00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:45.360 lock. It locked. Now, let's see the magic happen with UWB. 00:04:42.320 --> 00:04:49.639 All I do is walk UP TO IT. 00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:49.639 OH, it said UWB. 00:04:49.919 --> 00:04:55.440 That's awesome. It totally works. You don't even really have to slow down. 00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:59.360 When you're just out of arms length, it unlocks. You can just like walk right 00:04:57.520 --> 00:05:02.639 in. You don't even have to stop walking. Pretty sweet. But a lock could do that 00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:07.120 with Bluetooth. It just has to know you're near. The difference with UWB is 00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:12.080 it knows your directionality. So, right now, this lock is not unlocking even 00:05:10.320 --> 00:05:16.000 though I'm near it because it knows I'm on the inside of the house. It's also 00:05:14.320 --> 00:05:21.360 more accurate. Bluetooth only has down to 1 meter accuracy, but UWV 00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:25.440 centimeter accuracy. But let's say your phone doesn't have UWV, but you have 00:05:23.520 --> 00:05:29.840 NFC. You can still unlock just by tapping your phone. It obviously has 00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:34.400 auto locking, which is really nice, but not exactly special. What is special is 00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:37.680 that UWB is more secure than Bluetooth because someone can actually intercept 00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:42.479 and amplify your Bluetooth signal, making this thing unlock when you're way 00:05:39.520 --> 00:05:46.080 out of sight. UWB uses time of flight to calculate the distance. And it also uses 00:05:43.919 --> 00:05:50.560 cool things like scramble timestamp sequence to like add encryption and just 00:05:48.479 --> 00:05:55.120 make this whole scenario a non-issue. It already was pretty niche. Related to 00:05:52.479 --> 00:05:57.520 autolock is that stupid nightly routine where you have to go to all the 00:05:56.160 --> 00:06:02.080 entrances in your house and make sure your doors are all locked is no more. 00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:06.479 With voice control. I wish I had this at my place. Supported by Matter and 00:06:03.919 --> 00:06:10.639 Thread. You can use your Amazon Echo devices, your HomePod, your Nest Hub, 00:06:08.400 --> 00:06:13.520 your Eero devices to just go, "Hey Siri." >> Mhm. 00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:17.919 >> lock the door. >> Locking the entrance. 00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:21.759 >> Pretty bougie lock. And you can get it on Amazon, actually cheaper than you can 00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:25.199 on the Apple Store. So, use our link below to check this thing out today. I 00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:28.400 am going to uninstall it so Lion never knows I was even here.
