So I’ve finally set up my smart lock and with good timing too since Unifi just updated my G4 Doorbell to support fingerprint reading! Lets set them up together and see how everything works.

Question: on the Ubiquiti side of things, do you have Access application setup already? how did you get the fingerprint reader to work on the doorbell? I know you are using Home Assistance for this but did that activate the finger print reader somehow? Sorry if I missed something from your video.
Hi, are you still using this method? I have been doing a lot of research and from what I have found online people are saying to use something called Scrypted instead of home assistant, as the delay is lower from the time you enter your fingerprint/nfc to the deadbolt opening. Unfortunately there isn’t much detailed documentation online on how to pull it off.
Glad I found this video, I have a Schlage lock that is old but works fine, I got to work with apple home kit (forgot how I did that, but it works) so I really like the lock. I am going to try and get this working with home assistant now… that is after I get the doorbell camera. I found this while looking at the G4 doorbell camera.
so you can do the same with Aqara locks?
I’m looking at that lock now thanks for the great video!
