Why does the eufy app ask for location permission when setting up the Smart Lock R20?

With an Android phone (v6.0 or above), the app will ask for the device’s general location to access BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) devices.

 

This data will not be saved and it is only used to establish a connection between the Smart Lock R20 and the phone.
