The Mijia line is enriched with a new product: Xiaomi has just announced the Crowdfunding campaign number 125 ° since the beginning of the year and, as usual, also this product under the brand Mijia turns to the house, going this time to enrich your door with your own smart functions. So let's find out what Xiaomi thought of us with it Sherlock M1 Smart Lock.
The Sherlock M1 Smart Lock is a smart adapter which is connected to the main lock and can be controlled remotely using a dedicated application. Although specific mounting details are not yet available, Xiaomi points out that the device should be installed on the inside door, securing the Smart Lock to the general lock, without changing the locking lock. From now on the door will be controllable through the application We Home.
After installing the new gadget on the block, the application can be used to control the lock, without this in any way compromising the manual opening from the outside with a physical key, unless it has activated the " anti-lock "with which the door can only unlock using the application.
But the functions do not end there. Sherlock M1 Smart Lock allows the owner to set up virtual keys different that can be distributed to different members who have access to the home. Virtual keys can be equipped with a "timer", ie an expiration date beyond which they will no longer be available, or can be removed at any time by the main owner.
Security of the device will be guaranteed through a personalized chip, with a unique and certified private key, integrated in the smart lock. The security chip also ensures that there is only two-way encrypted communication between the application and the gadget.
Xiaomi Sherlock M1 Smart Lock is undoubtedly an interesting device. Suffice it to think that in the era of rents by virtue of virtual platforms, such a product could guarantee the tenant in turn access to the property only on established days, without the host being bound by delivery and withdrawal keys upon arrival and at the departure of the guests.
For those who are interested, it will be sold in Crowdfunding mode at 399 yuan (~ dollars 60).

I saw that the s2 version has also come out, does anyone know the difference between the two models?
Not a bad idea… after Samsung they too are starting to get busy about it.
Really interesting! Apart from the natural use in the AirBnB environment, it could be really useful for those who need to allow access to their home to cleaners, etc but do not want to leave the physical key proposal. Even in traditional hotels and B & Bs, it would avoid the use of an additional key or card, much easier to lose than a telephone.
