Ever thought about putting a smart lock on your bedroom or home office door? ๐Ÿ”

I've been testing the DESLOC D212, and I think interior doors are where a smart lock like this really makes sense!

Installation took me less than 15 minutes, the fingerprint reader unlocks almost instantly, and it connects directly to your 2.4GHz Wi-Fi without needing another hub.

But my favourite part is what you can actually do with it.

โœ… Give family members their own fingerprints or access codes.
โœ… Restrict access to a home office or computer room using schedules.
โœ… Create one-time codes for guests.
โœ… Manage individual room access in a rental property.
โœ… See who unlocked the door and when.
โœ… Automatically lock the door after a set time.

I also really like the matte black k**b design and the LED ring around the handle.

Since the k**b and locking mechanism are combined into one unit, I especially like it for compatible single-bore interior doors rather than the double-bore exterior doors common around here.

I go through the installation, app features, real-world use cases, and how it compares with my Aqara U300 in the full video.

๐ŸŽฌ Would you put a smart lock on your bedroom or home office door?

Your network rack has backup powerโ€ฆ but can it automatically switch between power sources? โšก

Thatโ€™s where a rack-mounted Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) comes in.

From monitored and unmonitored models to 1U, vertical mounting, and different power connectors, thereโ€™s more to these devices than you might think.

Would you add one to your home lab or network rack?
