Smart deadbolt
Venix
Replaces the deadbolt on your front door. Six ways in, a 720p video doorbell, and a key for backup.
What it is. A smart deadbolt for your front door.
Your deadboltWith Venix
Venix goes where your deadbolt is now. Drag the picture, or pick a side to see what’s on it.
Getting in. Six ways, all included.
Pick one and watch it work on the door. Each ends with the deadbolt sliding back into the door.
Illustrative demos and timing, with a simulated doorbell caller; not sensor output or unlocking speed. Up to 50 face and palm profiles in total and up to 50 PINs; the codes shown are examples. USB-C powers the lock; it is not a way to unlock by itself. *Remote unlock and the video call need Venix set up in the Tuya Smart app on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, and your phone online. Your visitor hears you; there’s no screen on the door.
Auto-relock
Relocks behind you.
- You unlock
- Your delay counts down
- Venix throws the bolt again
Turn on automatic relocking in the Tuya Smart app and Venix throws the bolt again 5 to 99 seconds after unlocking. Or leave it off.
Switch on “automatic lock switch”, then pick the delay in “auto lock delay time set”. This real screen is set to 10 seconds, the example the dial counts down.
Optional. Auto-relock runs on a timer after unlocking; it doesn't detect whether the door is closed. Illustrative render, loupe and countdown (sped up), with a real Tuya Smart app screen. Venix controls the deadbolt; you open the door with the separate handle, not included.
At a glance
One lock. Every way in.
†As stated by the manufacturer. Remote features and the video call need 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and your phone online. Auto-relock runs on a timer after unlocking; it does not detect whether the door is closed.
Your door. Will Venix fit?
Venix goes into the holes your deadbolt already uses. Three taps, and the picture checks your door.
Venix fits a 2⅛ in cross bore and a 1 in edge bore (standard deadbolt prep), with a 2⅜ or 2¾ in backset, on doors 1.38–2.17 in (35–55 mm) thick. Sizes from the installation guide; hole sizes are nominal. Illustrative animation.
Installing. Six steps.
On a door already prepared for a standard deadbolt.
Then pair it: press 3 then Unlock, one after the other, and follow the Tuya Smart app.
Simplified from the installation guide, which also covers the strike plate, the tail-bar length and plugging in the two cable connectors. New doors need drilling. Illustrative installation animation.
In the box
Everything but the handle.
Keep the handle you have. Venix replaces the deadbolt above it.
Illustrative renders, not to scale.

Questions.
Is a handle included?
No. Venix is a smart deadbolt. It retracts the bolt when it recognizes you, and you open the door with your own handle, which stays where it is.
Do I need Wi-Fi?
For remote unlocking and the video doorbell, yes: Venix is set up in the Tuya Smart app on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, and your phone needs to be online. Face, palm, PIN and the key are used at the door itself.
What happens if the battery runs out?
The USB-C port on the bottom edge supplies emergency power: connect power, then unlock with a supported method, or use the mechanical key. Emergency power is not a way to unlock by itself.
Does the visitor see me on the doorbell call?
No. Your visitor hears you through Venix; Venix has no screen. You see them on a 720p live video call in the Tuya Smart app, with two-way audio.
Can I fit it myself?
On a door already prepared for a standard deadbolt, Venix installs in six steps, and the interactive manual walks you through each one. A door without a deadbolt needs drilling first.
