  • works with apple homekit?

  • does this have wifi/bluetooth ?

    • Bluetooth for the App.

      Looks like no WiFi.

      • Looks like it comes with the Yale Home module, so you just need to purchase a Yale Connect Bridge to get the wifi part.

        • If you need Wi-Fi/Internet remote access, given the price of the Yale bridge, better buy a HomePod mini instead.

          • @xmagic: The HomePod isn’t a bad idea actually. It’s quite cheap. I guess it depends on which ecosystem you want to be in. I quite like the Yale app. It’s fast and versatile for what I want it to do (different codes for different people; certain codes only during certain times of the week eg cleaners; certain codes only in on certain fixed dates eg house guests for the next 6 days; all door opening, closing, lock, unlock tracked, current door status). I don’t know if HomeKit has these same features. Maybe it does.

            • @bcarp: No, Yale's HomeKit integration does none of these. Actually other HomeKit-enabled locks do (like the ones from Aqara) allow pin management and access share, even remotely via Apple Home app. But for Yale locks, you have to go through Yale Home app. If you're not home and need to add/change PIN codes remotely, you must have a Yale Wi-Fi bridge setup.

              • @xmagic: Oh well. I’m happy to stick with my Yale app. Like I said, I like it. The simple stuff it does very well without fuss. And the more complex stuff it does with a few more presses.

  • The Zigbee version of this was here several years ago, and works great with Home Assistant etc.
    Easy to install.
    This is Bluetooth version. Will that connect direct to Homekit? Or only your phone?
    I think it probably talks to your Apple Tv or HomePod by Bluetooth?

      Need a Homekit Hub (HomePod/mini, Apple TV). Though it can be setup to work with BLE interface or gateways if you prefer Home Assistant.

      I'm using both HomePod mini via Homekit and hass with an ESPHome-based BLE gateway, the latter actually worked faster than Homekit as it keeps the connection alive all the time (at the toll of battery in those smart locks).

  • I have the homekit version, it's horrible, very basic feature and the app experienced is the worst

    • I agree, the Yale Home app is unnecessarily complex and hard to use. At least I'm glad people found a stable way to get the encryption keys out of the lock for Home Assistant (which involves creating two Yale accounts, still better than the dark days when you have to hack the keys out of the app and worry about keys get rotated).

      If you only need the lock, then you can setup the lock in Homekit and get rid of the app, unless you need to add passcode or such.

      But the DoorSense feature (detects whether the door is left open) requires the app, since its sensor requires calibration after every battery replacement.

      • Yuck! Am glad I have the Zigbee version. Just works, no Yale software needed. I have a separate zigbee sensor to tell if the door is open. $5 from Aliexpress.

  • Anyone know how the door position sensor works? Is it built into the lock, if its external, how does it communicate with the lock

    • The one on the doorframe is actually just a magnet. The actual sensor is inside the removable module in Lock SL (and built-in for Unity locks).

      The DoorSense system can detect four states: Locked/unlocked (nothing to do with DoorSense), door closed, door wide open and door closed but not enough to engage the deadbolt.

      It seems DoorSense on Lock SL requires calibration after every battery replacement. But it worked a bit better on Unity lock and doesn't need to be calibrated as often.

      • My Doorsense has not needed recalibration after battery changes.

  • I have the Yale Assure Lock 2 Plus with Apple HomeKey support, DoorSense hasn't needed to be recalibrated after battery changes for me.
