Schlage Sense Pro 智能门锁:解放双手的开门体验
The $399 smart lock ditches keys for ultra-wideband hands-free unlocking. It’s magical, but it’s Apple-only for now. 这款售价 399 美元的智能门锁摒弃了传统钥匙,采用超宽带(UWB)技术实现免提解锁。它用起来非常神奇,但目前仅支持苹果设备。
The Sense Pro is Schlage’s first Matter-over-Thread lock. It also supports hands-free unlocking via Apple Home Key, with Google and Samsung support coming soon through Aliro. Sense Pro 是 Schlage 首款支持 Matter-over-Thread 协议的门锁。它还支持通过 Apple Home Key 进行免提解锁,未来还将通过 Aliro 标准支持谷歌和三星设备。
The Schlage Sense Pro is a beautiful smart lock. Sleek, discreet, and simple to use, it’s Schlage’s smartest lock to date. Thanks to ultra-wideband (UWB), it unlocks as I walk up to my front door; I don’t need to enter a code or tap my phone or press my finger against it. I’ve tested several hands-free unlocking systems that rely on geofencing and other radio technologies, and UWB is faster and more reliable. It’s the first one I actually trust. Schlage Sense Pro 是一款外观精美的智能门锁。它设计时尚、低调且易于使用,是 Schlage 迄今为止最智能的门锁。得益于超宽带(UWB)技术,当我走到前门时,它就会自动解锁;我无需输入密码、点击手机或按压指纹。我曾测试过多种依赖地理围栏和其他无线电技术的免提解锁系统,而 UWB 的速度更快、可靠性更高。这是我真正信任的第一款产品。
The $399 Sense Pro is Schlage’s first smart lock with ultra-wideband auto-unlock, its first to support Matter-over-Thread, and its first without a physical keyhole. It works with Apple Home Key for both hands-free and tap-to-unlock access with an iPhone or Apple Watch. There’s no visible hardware on the front, just a barely perceptible Schlage logo and a keypad that only appears when you tap the lock. It looks high-tech enough to be at home on the USS Enterprise without looking out of place on my front door. 售价 399 美元的 Sense Pro 是 Schlage 首款具备 UWB 自动解锁功能的智能锁,也是其首款支持 Matter-over-Thread 和取消物理锁孔的产品。它支持 Apple Home Key,用户可以通过 iPhone 或 Apple Watch 实现免提解锁和轻触解锁。门锁正面没有任何可见的硬件,只有一个几乎看不见的 Schlage 标志,以及只有在触碰时才会显示的数字键盘。它的科技感十足,即便安装在《星际迷航》的企业号飞船上也不违和,装在我的前门上也同样协调。
These are all great upgrades if you’re comfortable with smart locks — and I am. No one in my family has carried a physical door key for nearly a decade; controlling my lock remotely and sending visitors digital keys is something I would never give up. 如果你习惯使用智能门锁,这些都是非常棒的升级——而我正是如此。近十年来,我家没人再携带过实体钥匙;远程控制门锁和为访客发送数字钥匙,这些功能是我绝对无法割舍的。
But for some, this lock might be a touch too smart. With no keyway and a touchscreen keypad that disappears when not in use, it isn’t immediately obvious how to use it. Others — those with household members on Android — may need to wait for it to get a little smarter. While the Pro should work with Samsung and Google devices for hands-free and tap-to-unlock later this year, thanks to Aliro, it only works with iPhones and Apple Watches for now. 但对某些人来说,这款锁可能“太智能”了。由于没有锁孔,且触摸屏键盘在不使用时会消失,初次使用者可能不知道如何操作。此外,对于家庭成员使用安卓手机的用户来说,可能还需要再等等。虽然得益于 Aliro 标准,Pro 型号预计在今年晚些时候将支持三星和谷歌设备的免提与轻触解锁,但目前它仅支持 iPhone 和 Apple Watch。
The Sense Pro is one of only two residential deadbolts to support UWB hands-free unlocking using Apple Home Key (the other is Aqara’s U400, which I reviewed earlier this year). This is different from existing hands-free unlocking solutions, sometimes called auto-unlock. These rely on some combination of geofencing, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and an app running on your phone. I’ve tested them all, and found myself waiting at a locked door one too many times. But UWB hasn’t failed me yet. Sense Pro 是目前仅有的两款支持 Apple Home Key UWB 免提解锁的家用插芯锁之一(另一款是我今年早些时候评测过的 Aqara U400)。这与现有的免提解锁方案(有时称为自动解锁)不同。后者通常依赖地理围栏、蓝牙、Wi-Fi 和手机后台运行的 App 组合。我测试过所有这些方案,但经常遇到站在门外等待解锁的情况。而 UWB 技术至今从未让我失望。
The tech can interpret the signals from the UWB antenna in the lock and the UWB radio in your phone or watch to determine not just where you are and how close you are, but also whether you’re actually approaching the door by tracking your distance, speed, and angle of approach. Schlage calls its implementation Schlage Converge. 这项技术能够解析门锁中的 UWB 天线与手机或手表中 UWB 无线电之间的信号,通过追踪你的距离、速度和接近角度,不仅能判断你所在的位置和距离,还能判断你是否真的在向门靠近。Schlage 将其实现方案称为“Schlage Converge”。
In testing, it worked quickly and smoothly in most scenarios, unlocking at the right moment, so I could simply press the handle and walk in. It never unlocked before I got there or after I had walked through the door. I don’t have to deal with a key, keypad, or other method when my hands are full. It’s also so cool having my home react to me; it feels like the future. 在测试中,它在大多数场景下运行迅速且流畅,总能在恰当的时机解锁,让我只需按下把手就能直接进门。它从未在我到达之前或进门之后误解锁。当我双手提满东西时,再也不用去掏钥匙、按密码或使用其他方式了。让家对我的到来做出反应的感觉非常酷,这简直就是未来生活。
It never unlocked when I didn’t want it to, ignoring me while I sat on the porch, walked past the house, or moved around in the front yard. It only ever unlocked when I walked up to the door to open it, and even worked while I was on a phone call. The only times it failed to unlock immediately were when I had my phone in my back pocket or in a backpack; I had to turn slightly for it to connect. 它从未在我不需要的时候解锁,当我坐在门廊上、路过房子或在院子里走动时,它都保持锁定状态。它只在我走到门口准备开门时才会解锁,甚至在我打电话时也能正常工作。唯一几次未能立即解锁的情况是手机放在后裤兜或背包里时;我需要稍微转动一下身体,以便信号连接。
