You are correct.
That sucks!!!
Any news on this ?
I’m thinking of getting the video lock as well
I’m pleased to advise that I’ve shared my T8530 24/7 with @bropat now and when the time permits, he’ll look to integrate this model. [Feature request]: T8530 Smart Lock w/ video, code, and fingerprint access - and base station (T8021) · Issue #220 · bropat/eufy-security-client · GitHub
Give his repo a star or better still, spread the Christmas cheer and support his work by making a donation.
FYI, this lock is now fully integrated into Home Assistant.
