2.5 What is the difference between 3D face recognition and 2D face recognition?
+
3D Structured-Light Face Recognition (used in Diyu A/V/R series and all CIPA locks): Projects invisible IR light patterns to measure facial depth in 3D. Cannot be spoofed by photos, screens, or masks. Works reliably in complete darkness. Recognition speed 0.5 seconds. 2D Face Recognition (used in HO-X400 and some competitor locks): Camera-based image matching. Vulnerable to photo/video spoofing. Requires ambient light or IR fill. Recognition speed 1-2 seconds. Recommendation: For any security-sensitive application (residential main entry, corporate offices), always specify 3D structured-light face recognition. 2D is acceptable only for low-security convenience applications (interior doors, boutique retail).
2.6 What door thickness range do your smart locks fit?
+
Diyu Smart locks fit a wide door thickness range, model-dependent: 30-50mm (US standard residential): HM-A03, HM-J01 30-65mm (mainstream residential): HM-P02, HM-P98 35-55mm (interior doors): HM-P04 35-60mm (mainstream global): HM-Y79 40-120mm (villa & thick doors — flagship range): HM-A20, HM-A40, HM-V20, HM-V70, HM-Y81, HM-R series, all CIPA Frameless glass (8-12mm) + framed 30-120mm: HO-X150, HO-X200, HO-X400 For thick doors above 80mm, please specify at order so we ship the correct through-bolt length.
2.7 How many users can your smart locks store?
+
User capacity varies by product tier: Entry-level (HM-A03, HM-J01): 30 fingerprints Mainstream (HM-P02, HM-P98, HM-Y79, HM-Y81): 100 fingerprints + 100 PINs + 100 cards High-end (HM-A20, HM-A40, HM-V20, HM-V70, HM-R series): 50 faces + 100 fingerprints + 100 PINs + 100 cards Universal + Extreme Capacity (HO-X150): 100 fingerprints + 2000 PINs + 2000 cards CIPA Luxury: 50 faces + 50 fingerprints + 240 PINs + 240 cards Access Control Reader (HO-X300A): 300 fingerprints + 2300 PINs + 2300 cards (largest in family)
2.8 Do your smart meters need internet or gateway?
+
Depends on model: LoRaWAN water meters (cold/hot) and LoRaWAN electric meters: Require a LoRaWAN gateway (Milesight UG65 or Yima 255MG-801). One gateway covers 500-2,000 meters within 3-15km radius. Wired M-Bus / RS485 meters (DDS1000, DTS1000, wired hot water meter): Require the CZ1000-256 wired data gateway. One gateway manages up to 256 meters via M-Bus + RS485 buses. 4G Cat.1 smart meters: Gateway-free — each meter has built-in 4G cellular modem and connects directly to cloud. Ideal for scattered rural households and old-community retrofits.
2.9 Can your smart locks work without WiFi or internet?
+
Yes, all Diyu Smart and CIPA smart locks work fully standalone — no WiFi or internet required for basic unlocking. Fingerprint, PIN, RFID card, face recognition, and mechanical key all work locally on the lock itself. WiFi/Bluetooth is only needed for: Remote unlocking from outside Bluetooth range Cloud entry logs and audit trail Issuing temporary PIN codes to guests remotely Integration with Alexa / Google Home / smart-home ecosystems Property owners who prefer "no apps, no clouds" can operate our locks 100% offline for lifetime.
2.10 What is the battery life of your smart locks?
+
Battery life varies by model: 1 year (single CR123A): HM-J01, HM-A03 6 months (4 × AA alkaline): HM-P02, HM-P98, HM-V70 (typical residential) 8 months (4 × AA No.5 alkaline): HM-Y08, HM-Y26 10 months (industry-leading, 4 × AA No.5): HM-Y79, HM-Y81 10-12 months (interior doors, lower usage): HM-P04 3 months (rechargeable 4200-5000mAh with camera/face): HM-A20, HM-A40, HM-V20, HM-V70, all HM-R series, all CIPA 2-3 months (rechargeable + interior display): HM-R20 All rechargeable models include Type-C USB emergency power port — even if battery depletes, tap any USB-C power bank to unlock.
2.11 What is the difference between Tuya Smart and TTLock apps?
+
Tuya Smart: The world's largest IoT platform (700M+ users, 11 regional data centers). Best for smart-home retail — integrates with Alexa/Google Home/IFTTT, works with hundreds of smart-home devices from many brands. Ideal for individual homeowners. TTLock (Sciener): The leading vacation-rental and hotel management platform. Best for Airbnb hosts, hotel operators, property management — time-bound digital keys, PMS integration API, entry log audit for guest management. Diyu's HM-P02 uniquely supports both apps in one device — rare in this price segment.
2.12 What is CIPA and what makes it different from regular Diyu Smart locks?
+
CIPA is Diyu Smart's ultra-luxury sub-brand — 15 models across 5 series, all featuring: Solid brass construction (60% heavier than aluminium; 500-hr salt spray resistant) 24K gold plating (except F401 which uses pure brass with British Bronze patina) Natural gemstone or heritage craft inlays: malachite green (B/F series), sapphire (V401/V601), cloisonné enamel (V402/V602), faceted/colored crystal (C/J series) Grand-scale hardware up to 643mm (villa main entries) or compact 420-460mm (apartments) 3-year warranty (vs. Diyu's standard 2-year) + lifetime sapphire warranty + 10-year cloisonné color-fastness CIPA prices range USD 500-5,000+ vs. Diyu Smart's USD 30-500 range.
3.1 What is LoRa and why do you use it for water meters and engineering locks?

LoRa (Long Range) is a low-power wireless protocol operating in the sub-GHz ISM band (868MHz EU / 915MHz US / 470MHz China). Compared to WiFi and Zigbee: Range: 15km line-of-sight / 3km urban (vs. WiFi's 30m) Wall Penetration: Punches through 2-3 concrete walls (vs. WiFi failing at 1 wall) Battery Life: 8 years on a single Li-SOCl₂ battery (vs. WiFi ~ months) Density: One gateway handles 2,000+ devices For high-rise apartment water meters (buried in flooded basement pits) and engineering smart locks in dense concrete buildings, LoRa is uniquely reliable where WiFi/Zigbee fail.
3.2 What is RF433 and why is it used for engineering smart locks?
+
RF433 is an industrial-grade 433MHz wireless protocol widely used for property management and hotel access control. Key advantages: Long Range: 200m open field / 30-50m indoor through walls Massive Node Density: One gateway manages 200+ locks Extreme Cost Efficiency: 70% lower gateway hardware cost than Zigbee mesh No Wi-Fi Infrastructure Required: Ideal for old-building retrofits Diyu's HM-PB01 uses RF433 for exactly this purpose — apartment developers and hotel chains can deploy hundreds of locks with a single gateway per floor.
3.3 What is Matter and do your products support it?
+
Matter is the industry-standard smart-home protocol launched by CSA (Connectivity Standards Alliance) in 2022, unifying Apple, Google, Amazon, Samsung, and IKEA under one interoperability standard. Matter locks work seamlessly across Apple HomeKit, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Samsung SmartThings. Diyu Smart's Matter-certified variants are on the 2026 roadmap. For customers requiring Matter today, we offer OEM/ODM Matter certification on 500+ pc orders (adds ~USD 5-10 per unit for the Matter module and certification fees).
3.4 What is palm vein recognition? Is it safer than fingerprint?
+
Palm vein recognition reads the unique pattern of veins inside your palm using near-infrared light. Key advantages over fingerprint: Unforgeable: Vein patterns are inside the body — cannot be lifted from surfaces (unlike fingerprints) Works with wet/dry/damaged fingers: Vein detection is unaffected by surface conditions Higher accuracy: False acceptance rate ~10⁻⁸ (vs. fingerprint's 10⁻⁵) Contactless: Hygienic — no touching the sensor Diyu's HM-A20, A40, V20, V70, and R series (and all CIPA) support both fingerprint and palm vein for maximum flexibility.
3.5 Can your smart locks integrate with a hotel PMS system?
+
Yes. Two integration paths: TTLock API integration: Our HM-P02 and HM-PB01 support TTLock, which provides a standard REST API for major PMS platforms (Oracle Opera, Cloudbeds, Mews, RMS, Little Hotelier). PMS auto-issues PIN codes on check-in, auto-expires on checkout, syncs entry logs. Custom API on OEM firmware: For 500+ pc orders, we can develop custom firmware exposing a REST or MQTT API for direct integration with any PMS or custom hotel management system. Reference deployment: A 200-room boutique hotel chain in Southeast Asia using HM-P02 + TTLock + Cloudbeds integration.
