Smart Alerts are sent as notifications and let you know about the activity of your Smart Lock. Many Smart Alerts appear in the Activity Feed.

Smart Alert options currently include manual lock events, user-specific lock operations, notifications for when a door is left open and Auto-Lock notifications. 

You can also receive door locking with One-Touch Keypad operation (requires Yale Smart Keypad).

Firmware updates are released periodically to help improve the connection speed, connection reliability, motor controls, and Auto-Lock.

If you are having trouble connecting to your lock using the Yale Home App, the following troubleshooting may help:

If the Yale Home App shows that your lock is locked when it’s really unlocked (and vice versa), chances are it needs to be recalibrated.

Please initiate recalibration from the settings tab in your Yale Home app. You must be within Bluetooth range of the lock to recalibrate it.

PLEASE NOTE: Incorrect lock status may also happen if the lock is laying on a flat surface.

Technically, there is no limit to the number of properties on one Yale Home Account. If you have multiple properties, you can create keys for all of them in your Yale Home App.

Each property added will extend the list of keys in your keychain and you will need to scroll to access them.

Similarly, there is no limit to the number of devices that you can add to a property.

The service life of the battery depends on the number of revolutions per lock, the smoothness of the door opening and the number of openings per day.

With normal use, the batteries last between 6 and 9 months.
