What is a smart door lock?

According to the definition in Electronic Intelligent Door Lock, a group standard of China Hardware Association, "a door lock that electronically identifies and processes human biometric information, electronic information and network communication information and controls the switch of mechanical actuator" is called an electronic intelligent door lock. Generally speaking, intelligent door lock is a brand-new lock that combines electronic information technology and mechanical technology. It is an upgraded lock based on the traditional mechanical lock, which is more intelligent and convenient in user identification and management security.

The intelligent door lock is intelligent because it has two major differences compared with ordinary electronic door locks: 1, the intelligent door lock can generate active information interaction with people; 2. Smart door locks can be iteratively upgraded like smart phones. First of all, when some special circumstances happen, such as the door lock being pried open and the password/fingerprint being entered incorrectly for many times, etc. Smart door locks can actively send alarm information to users, and users can directly know the door lock situation at home through the mobile APP, which is not available in traditional mechanical door locks and ordinary electronic door locks. Secondly, smart door locks can be iteratively upgraded with their own firmware and software. Luke Classic, for example, didn't have the function of issuing one-time passwords remotely at first, but with the later software upgrade, classic users can now use the function of issuing one-time passwords remotely, and they can enjoy more convenience and security without changing hardware.
