Weather Conditions

We did not have a chance to test OrangeIOT Electronic Keypad Deadbolt Lock in various weather conditions. We just made some experiments to mimic the rainy environment and as far as we can see it is not affected by factors such as raindrops.

In addition, since the electronic lock has an IP54 certificate, it must work without any problems at the range of -4°F to 131°F (-20°C to 55°C). IP54 products is resistant for water, dust and similar elements but not too much.

Auto Lock

Life gets really easier thanks to automatic locking. When you activate the auto lock, your door will be locked after the selected time passes over last unlocking time. Default selected time is 30 seconds. OrangeIOT Electronic Keypad Deadbolt Lock has a large selection of 10 – 99 seconds for auto lock activation. Once you set it to 20 seconds, your door will be locked after 20 seconds of unlocking.

We did our trials as 15, 45, 60 seconds, and each time the door locked, the automatic locking worked smoothly. Thanks to this feature, crowded families and people who are too lazy to lock their doors every day find a very useful solution.

User Codes

As with other electronic locks, programming the user codes in OrangeIOT Electronic Keypad Deadbolt Lock is very easy an can be done in couple of key pressing.

There is a precaution in the form of fake code to prevent anyone from seeing your code from the outside. In this way, you can unlock your door by entering a random 4-digit number at the beginning or after your code. As an example if your user code is 4353 then you can enter 04344353 43539442 to unlock your door. Both codes will work.
