Hi everyone. You may be wondering why I'm starting the video with a door.
A normal door lock is opened with a physical key but today we'll look at a different mechanism with the Bosma Aegis Smart Door Lock.
Everything is smart in my studio, except the door. That's possible now, thanks to Bosma.
The lock is placed on the interior side of your door. The box is a standard package highlighting some of the lock's features.
First, you find the installation manual. Then, the main product: Bosma Aegis Smart Door Lock. The main Bosma button is used to unlock/lock manually.
In the back, you have a base plate held by latches on the side. Aegis uses 4 AA batteries (included).
Then, you have a Bosma gateway to connect the lock to wifi, 4 AA batteries, and 3 lock adapters.
I will be fixing the smart lock on the top knob. You can also use a physical key to lock/unlock Aegis. Let's get started with the installation.
Step 1: Place the blue adhesive strip on the exterior side of the lock. This is to prevent it from falling down when it's loosened.
Step 2: Unscrew and remove the thumb turn. Step 3: Attach the baseplate by matching the screws with the holes. Make sure the center tailpiece goes through the center of the base plate.
Step 4: Pick the correct lock adapter and place it in the center tailpiece. Step 5: Open the latches on the back of Aegis and mount the lock on the base plate. Close the latches.
Step 6: Remove the front cover and place the 4 AA batteries. Wait for the white light, indicating the power. Replace the cover.

I missed a small but important detail. If your door lock is on the left side, Aegis locks counterclockwise and the opposite for the right side. Turn Aegis to the locked position before installing.
Plug the gateway into an outlet then install the free Bosma app. Tap on 'add device' and select Aegis. Change the device name then tap 'calibrate'.
The app walks you through the calibration steps. Follow the directions closely.
To pair the gateway and lock, long-press the pairing button on the gateway till flashing blue. Then long-press the main Bosma button till flashing green.
Then, connect to Wifi. Aegis does not support 5 GHz, supports 2.4 GHz. Now, unlock/lock with one tap.
A reminder: You can always use your physical key in case your wifi or door lock is faulty.
Coming to the app features, activity history shows the number of times your door has been locked/unlocked.
If you have visitors over while you're away, you can let them in by giving them access to your door. Go into 'Guest' and invite them by email. All they have to do is download the app.
You can change the main button's action. I've kept it to the default lock/unlock.
Break-in Detection: You can set the sensitivity level of when someone knocks or tries to break in.
My favorite thing about this lock is that when I'm carrying a lot of stuff in both hands, I don't have to struggle with the keys. The door detects my mobile and automatically opens.
If you forget to lock your door, it will lock automatically. The app also notifies you every time the door doesn't lock properly.
Let me know in the comments if you'd like to see a review video of this smartlock. The price is $120 plus tax. It's compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant.
As you can tell by my face, I'm pretty excited about the Bosmo Aegis SmartLock. I love to show new things on my channel.
Let me know in the comments what you thought of this product and video. And with that, I'll see you in the next video.
