Auto-Unlock
Unlike other proximity locks, Auto-Unlock relies on a few different technologies in your phone to understand its location. Yale Access Auto-Unlock uses your phones Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and GPS, in addition to the Yale Access app. All of these systems are managed by your phone's operating system communicating with the Yale Access app. By doing it this way, your Yale Smart lock is able to understand the proximity of your phone with industry-leading precision and safety. So how does the Yale Access app know when to automatically unlock your door?
The Yale Access app has two states that determine how Auto-Unlock functions: Home and Away. When you are at home, your Yale Access app will enter Home Mode and Auto-Unlock becomes inactive. As long as you are in Home Mode, your Yale Smart lock will not unlock automatically. As soon as you leave your home, the Yale Access app will switch into Away Mode. Before switching into Away Mode, the Yale Access app waits for you to move at least 200 metres away from your home. Once the app is in Away Mode, your Yale Smart lock will wait to automatically unlock when you return home.
As you return to within 200 metres of your home, your phone will start looking for your lock. Within 5 metres of your door, the Yale Access app will find your Yale Smart lock, automatically unlock the door, and return to Home Mode. No more fumbling for keys or your phone with full hands, everything happens automatically based on your proximity to the lock – think of it as your own personal doorman.
Auto-Lock
By activating the Auto-Lock feature in your Yale Access app, your lock will automatically lock after a specified amount of time. Whether you are at home or not, you can trust that your home is sealed and secure with Auto-Lock.
Before you enable Auto-Lock, you will need to have DoorSense™ installed and established. Once DoorSense™ is all set up, simply open your Yale Access app, navigate to Lock Settings, toggle the Auto-Lock button, and set your Auto-Lock Timing. This is the same settings location to manage your Auto-Unlock feature.
Unlike Auto-Unlock, Auto-Lock is not affected by your phones location. Whether you are at home, or out and about, Auto-Lock seals your door to the set amount of time you choose. You can select anywhere between 30 seconds and 30 minutes before your door will automatically lock again. Auto-Lock happens each time the door is closed.
Activity Monitoring
You will get instant notifications on who has been in and out. And if you really feel like it, you will be able to go back in time with the history log. See who comes and goes with the Activity Feed. Check who unlocked the door and if or when it was actually opened. Set up alerts to notify when specific people arrive home. Check to make sure your visiting friend got in, how long the cleaner was there, or see who has been inside if you suspect unusual activity.
