Once the Aegis registered the impact, I received an alert to my phone, and a siren sounded from inside the door. I installed the Aegis on my back door, just so the neighbors wouldn’t think I was crazy, and subsequently tried to breach the door by kicking it a few times. This detection alerts the homeowner if someone is attempting to force the door open. One of Aegis’ key features is its “door-breaking” detection. Next up, I tried to see what would happen if I “broke into” my home while the Aegis was active. I could not get this to happen even after about a half-hour of constant locking and unlocking. I even tried rapidly locking and unlocking the Aegis to see if I could confuse it and cause it to jam. As long as the wireless network was up, the lock functioned perfectly every time. I first tried the app’s lock and unlock functions from different locations in my house. Anyone should feel confident that they can install this lock without any trouble.Īfter installing the Aegis, I spent a week testing the smart lock to see how it performed under ideal and less-than-ideal situations. This application walks the user through calibration, and Bosma has taken every step to ensure that this process is foolproof. Again, this was straightforward.īosma also offers an app that is necessary to calibrate the lock. This process is simple and consists of plugging the device into a power outlet, holding down a button until the light on the Gateway blinks, and then activating the lock. Once installed, you must connect the Aegis to the included Gateway device. While this wasn’t much of an issue, I think that Bosma might want to add a note about magnetic cover attachment in its instructions for the unit.
After struggling for a few moments, I rotated the cover, and it magnetically snapped into place. Initially, I thought that the tabs inside the body of the lock were what fastened the cover to the assembly, and I tried to press-fit the cover together. When getting the lock together, the only trouble I had was that I didn’t realize the battery compartment’s cover was magnetic at first.
It’s a surprisingly simple installation, and this is great for those who aren’t super handy.
