Xiaomi has been launching new Smart Home products at regular intervals in its home market China and today, the company has launched its first fully automatic smart door lock, called Xiaomi Automatic Smart Door Lock.

The product is now up for pre-order and will be shipped out by the end of this month, costing 1,699 yuan (~$250). This represents a 100 yuan discount over its retail price of 1,799 yuan, which is roughly $265.

The lock will automatically open when a fingerprint is recognized and after opening the lock, the door will automatically get locked within 0.8 seconds. This eliminates the need to rotate or push the handle to open or close the door.

Xiaomi says that the internal system of this new automatic door includes a set of power components which comprises the linear driving force, planetary gear reduction, micro-motor power, state perception, and a few other components.
