Smart Lock S230

I already own multiple eufy products (cameras, outdoor lights, etc.), so adding this lock was a no-brainer. Having everything in one easy-to-use app is super convenient and makes managing my home simple. The fingerprint unlock is fast and reliable, and the remote access adds great peace of mind. Customer service has also been excellent—quick to respond and very helpful. Installation wasn’t the easiest, even with the instructions, and took some patience. But once set up, the lock works flawlessly. Overall, a great product that fits perfectly into the eufy ecosystem!

I started looking for smart door locks for our new place after getting tired of fumbling with different keys for the front and garage door locks. I could have gotten the locks rekeyed, but I decided to install smart locks on the two doors and get rid of keys altogether. After getting used to fingerprints to unlock and log into most apps on my phone, I just couldn't get myself to buy a smart lock without fingerprint support. The Eufy touch lock seemed to be one of few fingerprint smart locks out there backed by a well known brand, but it didn't come with wifi support. I heard the wifi version was coming, so I decided to wait a couple of months and finally took delivery of the updated locks last week. The locks are pretty easy to install, and come with good instructions and well labeled/organized parts. The locks took about 15 mins each to install. The app is also pretty easy to set up, and I can log into the app with fingerprints on my android phone. The one setup quirk I had to deal with is that selecting the "touch lock with wifi" when adding a new lock to the app didn't work. The QR code scan wasn't doing anything. I noticed that the product code on the lock was not 8520, but 8510, which is the same code as the non wifi Eufy touch lock, so I decided to add the non wifi touch lock to the app. This time, the QR code worked, and I was able to add the included wifi bridge separately and pair it with the lock. This should be good news for those of you who have the regular touch lock, as it indicates that you will be able to add Wifi support when/if Eufy starts selling the wifi bridge separately. I programmed each lock to unlock with three different fingerprints, and have been very happy with the responsiveness of the fingerprint scanner. It seems to be faster than the under screen fingerprint scanner on my Samsung Note 10+. The unlocking process with fingerprints is extremely quick and seamless. I also added my wife as a separate user, so she was also able to register her fingerprints with each lock. Each user also gets to select a 4 to 8 digit pin code (different code for each user). The app lets you customize a lot of things, including auto lock functionality (lock after duration, auto lock schedule with start/end time), wrong attempt timeouts, lock sounds, scramble pass code (add random numbers before and after your actual pin to hide it from prying eyes), etc. I've only had the locks for a few hours, but I have been very pleased with how well they work so far. The only minor annoyance is that one wifi bridge cannot connect to more than one lock, so if you have two locks like I do, you will have to have two wifi bridges operational. It would have been nice if the wifi bridges supported multiple locks, but it's not a deal breaker.

NO HUB OR GATEWAY NEEDED. The lock was simple to install. The one issue I had was to get it to connect to the Wi-Fi, I had to power it up, not in the door, closer to my router. It seemed that the location that I was installing the lock was too far from the router, it would not connect to my router. When I took the lock off the door and laid it on the kitchen counter, near my router, it connected. Then I took it back out to my walk-in garage door, installed the lock and it connects to my Wi-Fi, go figure. So if you are having trouble with the initial setup and the lock does not connect to your Wi-Fi, remove it and move it close to your router and get it to connect, don't complete the setup at this point, stop as soon as it connects to your Wi-Fi then put it back in your door and finish the setup. Not sure what the issue was, but now it connects to the Wi-Fi. Everything works great. Fingerprint works, put mine and my wife's fingerprint in, works. Codes work. Remote access works, drove several blocks from my house, had the wife stand at the lock and observe, and I was able to lock and unlock the lock. Connected the app, or lock, to Alexa and it works. You need to open your Alexa app and get the settings, set. I have, had, another lock, but you need a hub located within 10 feet of the lock. This lock, no hub.

Buyer beware. Buy these eufy locks for manual use or bluetooh use only. The Wi-fi in these locks constantly lose connection with your network and the phone app. The phone app constantly hangs for can't connect to the lock, though you may be able to lock and unlock it over wifi. When researching the Internet, this has been a known problem for years. The eufy support is responsive enough, however, they have no fix and there doesn't appear to be a fix in sight. Easy to install, and when it works it's great. It just doesn't work, for anybody, consistently for for very long. You will see the image I have attached, more than you will be able to use the locks over wifi. Two stars. One because it is very easy to install and one because the physical deadbolt works. If you're looking to use and control this over Wi-Fi, look elsewhere. **Update 8/6/25** Updating review to update rating from 2 to 3 stars as the eufy technical team continues to try to resolve the issues including releasing new firmware that has improved connectivity. I will continue to update the review based on the long-term effectiveness of the bug fixes. **Update 8/7/25** Firmware bug fix has be me up overnight. That has never happened before so I'm going from 3 to 4 stars. Excellent technical support response. Maybe it wasn't ready for Wi-Fi 7. But I'm happy to be able to now use wi-fi. If this remains stable for a few months, I'll happily edit one more time to give it 5 stars. **Final Update 8/8/25** Connectivity over Wi-Fi lost again. Yet the $7 Wi-Fi Lightbulb above the door has remained connecting and functional for over a year. I'm not going to factory reset and try again and wait for more fixes or upload more logs. I'm going to look for an alternative product. I cannot recommend and leave this with 1-star. Now I wonder if I'll be able to rely on eufy's security cameras.

I have been looking for a smart lock for my door to have access for tenants and get a control for who is entering the house. This is having all the smart features needed for control like fingerprint sensor which works perfectly, auto lock customisable, audio features for notifications, lock codes for multiple profiles. The best feature is rechargeable battery which last long for 1 year (yet to be tested) and does not require multiple batteries to be plugged in every few months. The installation was way easy I installed in less than 15 minutes. Excellent build quality and performance, no issues experienced and it does not require any bridge. Works fine with smart devices- Google and Alexa Highly recommended!

We purchased two of these on Oct 2023. First, the batteries will require a charge approximately every 6 months or so. We live in a climate where the summers get hot and winter temps can get to -20C (-4F F) so just understand the 1 year without charging may not be true in all cases. The terrible part is now one of the units just died, even with a freshly charged battery. And the other unit has developed what looks like screen cracks everywhere on the numeric pad. We own several Eufy products (cameras, doorbells, motion sensors) and these door locks have underperformed and not lasted beyond 2 years. Very disappointing.

This is the third one I have bought, the first one was E130 model, it was excellent and worked for exactly 20 months and broke down from one rainy day, although it rarely rains here. The second was 230 model and the same thing happened to it, after 17 months, it rained and broke down. I bought this one for the last time because I couldn’t find anything else in the same size, so I have to paint the whole door, and I don't have the time to do so. BTW the first 2 I bought from USA.

very practical and easy to install
