3D face

    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.

    1. You unlock
    2. Your delay counts down
    3. 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.

    The setting in the Tuya Smart app
    Tuya Smart app settings: automatic lock switch on, auto lock delay time set to 10s

    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.

    Off Or turn it off

    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.

    Your door. Will Venix fit?

    Venix goes into the holes your deadbolt already uses. Three taps, and the picture checks your door.

    3How thick is the 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.

    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.
