I was not able to video the installation today due to work commitment. Managed to see a bit from the CCTV at work.

Took the installer about 2 hours. He did have to use a drill and cutter to get the upper mechanism of the lock to go through, but other than that the dimension of the parts were spot on with the older lock. The original strike plate was kept as it is. The labour cost of installation was RM300.

I had to change region to China Mainland in order to get Xiaomi Home app to recognize the lock. Did not need to use VPN or a new account, just a matter of changing the location setting on the app.

Configuration was a breeze. Firmware update required a few tries before it was successful. NFC only works with Xiaomi phones. Fingerprint recognition was instantaneous so this is going to be the primary method of entry.

Overall it seems like a good buy for RM1199 (Shopee). Next plan is to get a Bluetooth WiFi gateway.

Yes. You dont need a bluetooth gateway to configure.

The fuction of the bluetooth gateway is to send push notification to your phone on the door status i.e. unlocked, intrusion etc, and also remote checking status of the door.

For safety purposes, you need to be physically in range with the door to configure the settings. They dont allow you to configure remotely.

thanks for confirming this.
it's for my new house and worry that i can't configure the lock if there is no wifi internet install yet.

However, u do need a Bluetooth gateway for it to remote alert. I used imported bluetooth smart alarm clock as its gateway. Dont get the local version table lamp as it might be region locked to msia server. Device connected to different region cant talk to each other.

so the bluetooth smart alarm clock will then connect to the internet? do i understand correctly?

Thanks.

I bought the Aqara N100 door lock and decided to install it by myself.
Dang it, it took me nearly 7 hours to install it. This is of course with the limited tools on my hands.

that's a good try.

do you connect to any aqara hub?

i had contacted them, but my door lock is longer. They said can't install.
I wonder why can't just use a longer plate for it.

can the lock installer do it?

I used seller shipment service from lowyat, since it's sensitive item air freight so pay little more cost.
Placed order on 23rd Oct received yesterday night, roughly 10 days.

Total cost around 1.28k myr including insurance, model XMZNMST02YD.

Saw some post that xiaomi going to launch another model name xiaomi smart door lock pro with face recognition function tomorrow.
*
can pm which seller shipment you liaise with?
thank you.
