Hi all, not sure if this thread have been created before as I can’t seem to find it.
Any home owners have installed smart door/digital lock for your unit? Want to ask for some advice & opinion on brands.
I’m looking to install a combo for my grill door + main door for my condo. I think security should be ok as long as I stick with fingerprint lock and not access card (otherwise if I drop the card then gg aredi).
Looking between these 2 brands after some budget survey:
1. Avant S10 Stainless Steel Combo. RM2299 with 3 years warranty (promo offer)
2. Abrain 304 Stainless Steel Combo. RM2268 with 3 years warranty (promo offer)
Both comes with free installation. Abrain only got showroom in Penang so I can’t test and feel the build quality.
I checked our Avant showroom and the S10 build quality is quite sturdy. Fingerprint sensor seems ok enough.
Good thing is if I buy Avant smart switches I can combo it with lights; close door liao then lights auto off haha.
I checked Bosch, Philips and Samsung but their pricing is quite kaw - just for main door already RM2K plus so it’s kinda out of my range.
Also checked out Aqara but apparently they’re removing/discontinuing partnership with Xiaomi?
Thoughts on the above? Would be nice if got owner here who have purchased these before to share your opinion after using it for few months.
Cheers!
After I have done some research , I finally choose Siemens E350 for RM1,500. Why I choose this? Main reason is the fingerprint for old folks.
A lot of brand fingerprints does not work with old folks whose fingerprints are faded.
Siemens E350 works very well. Both my father and mother who is more than 70 years old still can use their fingerprint to unlock the door.
