1. Foreword: The smart door lock industry is picking up, and the dominant brands are rising in chaos.
Recently, the Semi-annual Report of China Smart Door Lock in 2019 released by the National Lock Industry Information Center shows that the brand breadth of China’s smart door lock industry has further increased in the first half of 2019, and the number of brands has exceeded 3,000. In addition, after the two-day market changes last year, various brands have made efforts in channel construction, brand promotion and market landing in the first half of this year, and the overall industry situation has gradually improved.
At the same time, under the complicated market situation, many enterprises take the opportunity to deepen their brands and quality, win praise from users with their superior experience, and gradually emerge in the grass of the smart lock industry.
At the Guangzhou Construction Expo in July, Orange IOT, a new brand in the smart lock industry, won the Sunflower Award "2019 Innovative Competitive Brand in the Smart Lock Industry", while Orange R9 Automatic Smart Lock, its smart lock product, won the "2019 Smart Lock Industry Design Award".
So how does Orange IOT stand out among thousands of brands? Recently, Zhijia. com got Orange R9 automatic push-pull smart lock from Orange IOT. After some experience, we may be able to find the answer from it.

Second, the appearance: outstanding face value, recognized by the "Oscar" in the smart lock industry.
When we installed this Orange R9 automatic smart lock, Xiao Zhi and his colleagues were attracted by its appearance.
Orange R9 automatic intelligent lock adopts parallel line design in appearance design, and the push-pull grip and panel complement each other, with simple and smooth lines and excellent texture.
As a brand for young consumers, Orange IOT has always had its own unique knowledge on the design and color matching of smart locks. Orange R9 has three colors: Haoyue Black, Starlight Gold and Star Bronze, which can match users’ different home decoration styles. This time, we received this color matching for Star Bronze.
Exquisite Logo and panel
Orange R9 outer screen adopts IML technology, which is wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant after 6 layers of pressing. The bright black panel with the Logo of Orange IOT is very beautiful and exquisite.
Digital panel
After lighting the panel, the exquisite panel and smart numeric keyboard make people feel the touch and look of this lock, which also highlights the ultimate pursuit of aesthetics.
Fingerprint identification module
Rear panel
The back panel is printed with the 24-hour service hotline of Orange IOT, which is convenient for users to contact manufacturers for after-sales service.
battery compartment
Orange R9 is powered by 8 5th batteries. If the door is opened and closed 10 times a day, the battery can last for about one year. When the battery is low, there will be a voice to remind the user to replace the battery, which is very intimate.
A smart home expansion interface is reserved at the lower part of the battery compartment, which is convenient for future linkage with smart home products at home.
Careful friends must have noticed the "A-M" toggle switch at the bottom, which is used to switch the full-automatic (A) and manual mode (M) of the lock, but Xiao Zhi found that the full-automatic mode is more convenient and worry-free during the use. Of course, friends who are used to locking themselves manually can choose M file.
To the left of the toggle switch is the hole for restoring factory settings. Press it for 5 seconds to restore factory settings.
Locking key
Click to lock, which is usually used in manual mode, and double-click to unlock it electronically.
Cat’s eye switch
The bottom is keyhole and USB emergency power supply interface.
From top to bottom: scissors tongue, main lock tongue and induction tongue.
It is particularly important to point out the lock body of Orange R9. Orange R9 adopts its own patented electronic lock body. By reducing the mechanical parts inside the lock body, the reliability of the lock body is effectively increased, and the battery life is greatly increased, so that users can use it with more peace of mind.
Third, the unlocking experience: silky smooth enjoyment at the touch of a button.
After reading the appearance, let’s test the unlocking experience of this Orange R9 automatic smart lock. Orange R9 currently supports five unlocking methods: password, fingerprint, credit card, key and APP unlocking.
After the experience, Xiao Zhi was deeply impressed by the silky unlocking experience of Orange R9 at the touch of a button. It is undoubtedly a lot of peace of mind to automatically lock the door without lifting the handle.
1. Fingerprint unlocking
Orange R9 adopts Swedish FPC semiconductor fingerprint identification module, combined with the curved surface design of push-pull handle, and skillfully designs the fingerprint identification module as a concave surface, which is more suitable for the radian of fingers, increases the contact area of fingers, and improves the accuracy and speed of identification.
Through the test, we found that the fingerprint recognition speed of Orange R9 was very fast, and it was almost unlocked as soon as the finger touched the fingerprint area, and the whole unlocking experience was very smooth, as shown in the following figure:
Sometimes our fingers are dirty when we go out, so can Orange R9 identify fingerprints smoothly at this time? We tested it with flour to simulate dust, and the results showed that Orange R9 still recognized the fingerprint accurately and smoothly and opened the door lock.
Some people (such as Xiao Zhi) are sweaty, so can you unlock the lock when your fingers are sweaty or there is water? We also tested it, and the results show that if the finger is only wet, and there are no sweat or water drops, it can still be unlocked, but if there is a layer of water on the finger, it is easy to identify it for a long time and it is impossible to unlock it:
However, even in a sweaty physique like Xiao Zhi’s, the sweat on his fingers is generally not so much as "sweating into drops". Therefore, there is no problem in unlocking, but if the situation is similar to that of just washing his hands, it is better to wipe his fingers before unlocking.
The average speed of fingerprint recognition of Orange R9 is less than 0.5 seconds, and the longer it is used, the faster the recognition speed will be.
2. Password unlocking
Password unlocking is also one of the commonly used unlocking methods. Orange R9 supports the virtual password function, and it can be unlocked normally by adding other digits before and after the correct password:
3. swipe the card and unlock the key
Swipe the card to unlock it quickly. When the card approaches the swipe area, the door lock can quickly sense the IC card and retract the lock tongue. There is no sense of delay in operation:
Although most people buy smart locks just for convenience, they seldom carry keys and cards, but Xiao Zhi still suggests that you keep a key in your bag or car just in case, which is the common suggestion of almost all smart door lock manufacturers.
4.APP unlocks
After the mobile phone is installed with the Orange IoT APP, the door lock enters the management mode, and the Bluetooth can be turned on according to the voice prompt to connect with the mobile phone. After the connection, the mobile phone also displays the indication of the remaining battery of the door lock:
After the connection, the lock can be opened and closed through the mobile phone. Through the test, we found that the APP is also unlocked very quickly. Basically, at the moment of clicking the icon, the lock has received the signal to start unlocking:
Through the APP, you can also add temporary user unlocking rights and view unlocking records.
Fourth, multiple protective measures bring users visible safety!
As the first guard gate to enter the family, the importance of door lock is self-evident. However, last year’s "black box incident" made many consumers doubt the safety of smart locks. But in fact, as long as it is a product produced by a regular brand, electromagnetic shielding and circuit protection are the most basic and essential configurations. Therefore, users must choose the products of regular manufacturers when purchasing smart locks.
Orange R9 adopts voltage stabilizing module, metal shielding and other methods to resist external electromagnetic interference. In addition, Orange R9 also innovatively introduces lightning protection design, which leads external electromagnetic interference into the wall and ground through metal rods, thus achieving the purpose of protecting internal circuits.
The indoor panel is equipped with an anti-cat-eye switch. Even if the cat’s eye on the door is damaged, the door cannot be opened by using tools to pass through the cat’s eye.
In addition, Orange R9 also supports the protection function. Careful friends must notice that the number 0 on the front panel of Orange R9 is also the icon of a small house, which is actually the protection key.
After locking, the protection key lights up.
After closing the door, press this button after locking the fingerprint lock, and the system will prompt "protection has been started". At this time, if someone unlocks the door, an alarm will sound. This is also a safety function specially designed for trying to unlock the door from the room after destroying the cat’s eye.
In addition, Orange R9 also supports combined authentication, that is, password+fingerprint, password+card or fingerprint+card can be used at the same time to unlock, which is double authentication and double security.
At this stage, smart lock manufacturers generally pay attention to outdoor unlocking safety, and a series of safety measures are mostly aimed at this, but not many enterprises pay attention to indoor use experience.
Orange R9 creatively introduces the design of "escape and quick opening" under the security guarantee of preventing cat eyes from unlocking and indoor protection, so that users can quickly open the door to escape in case of fire, earthquake and other emergencies at home, thus achieving "from inside to outside" safety.
Summary: The representative of face value and strength is a well-deserved honor.
With the intensification of the "Thousand Locks War" in the smart lock industry at this stage, the price of smart locks has gradually returned to rationality. Especially after Internet companies enter the market, users pay more and more attention to cost performance. Users all want to spend the least money to buy the best smart door locks, and Orange IOT is undoubtedly the shoulder of this mission.
Orange R9 automatic intelligent lock caters to the needs of consumers at different levels and meets the different decoration styles of users with its simple and atmospheric design and a variety of exquisite color matching.
In terms of security, Orange R9 has no ambiguity: innovative lightning protection electromagnetic shielding, blocking electromagnetic interference such as "black box", double verification unlocking brings more security to users, and one-button protection against cat’s eyes makes users feel more at ease when going out.
In addition, the smart lock is a strong service-driven product, and the orange IOT is also reassuring in installation and after-sales service. At present, installation service, three-year warranty and 7*24-hour professional customer service consultation are provided nationwide, so that consumers can get timely and caring service before and after purchase. In terms of door adaptability, users don’t need to worry. Orange R9 supports commutation, and it can be installed and used normally regardless of whether the door is open outside, inside, left or right, or various non-standard doors.
At this point, it is not difficult to find that Orange R9, a product that integrates quality, safety, value and practicality, has won the authoritative award in the industry.
It is worth mentioning that Orange R9 has reserved a smart home extension interface, and there are also smart home-related menus in the APP, which is associated with the corporate name of "Orange IOT". Zhijia.com believes that Orange IOT should not only make consumers use the smart door lock that is convenient and quick, but also make the home equipment linkage.
Lock, as a device to protect the safety of family property, has been valued by ordinary people since ancient times. From the simplest mortise-and-tenon structure in ancient times to the sophisticated intelligent locks in modern times, small safety facilities have condensed people’s pursuit and wisdom for safety for thousands of years. With high-quality Orange R9 automatic smart lock and Orange A9 smart lock as pioneers, Orange IoT blows the horn of the Internet of Things and lets smart life enter every family.
