There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Finally found a FAQ doc that said to make sure the notches on the lock adapter were at the vertical position (12/3/6/9 o’clock) when the lock was at it’s ‘default’ position (unlocked). When I swapped out the adaptor to the blue one from the light brown and recalibrated the lock one more time it started working perfectly. No more weird mismatch between the app and lock position even when the WiFi signal was good! Range of motion is much farther when the lock opens now and it has a fancy chirp to show it unlocked correctly. That chirp made me so happy after fighting with the app this long, but it didn’t compare to clicking the app a second time and having it reliably relock immediately.
It felt like it was ‘almost’ working before figuring this issue out so I assumed the app/some buggy firmware was at fault but it was installation error on my part! The rest of the install was so easy. Oh well.
Also, go get the rechargeable 123a batteries for this lock. Saw that tip from someone else and just got two sets to swap between. The disposable batteries drain pretty fast and are expensive.

ORIGINAL REVIEW:
I'm fairly handy, or like to think I am, but I could not get the lock to work. It seemed confused and though the help screens are well designed, I couldn't figure it out. I asked to speak to someone and after a fairly long wait got a young woman (I'm almost 80. I can say "young woman.") on the line and she guided me through a number of steps, me sitting in front of the door, trying each step, sometimes two and three times. She stuck with me. She was ever patient, even when I second-guessed her and tried things on my own. It turns out that choosing the wrong adapter (the little plastic rod that connects the lock stem) does confuse the lock so its behavior doesn't seem at all logical. She figured it out though, despite my mistakes and bull-headed insistence "that couldn't possibly be it." Very patient, very professional, very polite, even comforting when I began to realize that part of the problem was me "knowing better" than what she was telling me. Above and beyond what customer service should be. I'm a fan, and I love that my door locks itself when I leave and unlocks it when I come home. Thank you, August.

Parece que las baterías duran poco. Me empezó a avisar desde hace 14 días de la urgencia de cambiarlas. No he hecho caso y sigue funcionando perfecto. Ya le gané 14 días.
