In addition to fingerprint recognition, there are 7 other unlocking methods suitable for different scenarios, including NFC, Bluetooth on smartphone, emergency password and HomeKit (Apple's application), Yes, you read that right, after having authorized Apple Homekit via the Mi Home app, the lock will be automatically unlocked with a voice command such as “Hey Siri, open the lock”.
