Ужас!!!

Отвратительное приложение, перевода на русский нет, к посудомоющей машине не подключается вообще!

Love them

I've had two of these Sesame locks since their kickstarter campaign years ago and they're still working great everday. My only concern is lack of support and updates.
I want to integrate this with Homekit without having to use homebridge.
I hope they're not abandoned because I would keep buying more and recommending them.

Poor after sales service

The app hasn’t been updated in years. Complications won’t work on the Apple Watch. Lucky the device still works though.

Developer lies, no software updates for over 2 years

Ridiculous, no software updates for over 2 years. Promised updates coming soon a year ago. Garbage company.

Died, returned, no refund.

Unit died before two weeks so it definitely will not last 500 days for you and if you rely on this it will get you locked out. No Wifi adapter yet and hardware is not compatible with Homekit and the secret knock feature isn't happening so there is no compelling reason to buy this product as it's ONLY bluetooth dongle for your lock, and since bluetooth is slower to connect as you a have to open the app and then wait for the connection you aren't saving any time over using your keys. Company lies as to their timeline and features and offers little to no customer support. DO NOT BUY.

FAQ

What does the Sesame app do?

The Sesame app allows you to turn your physical key into a smartphone-controlled device. You can use your phone to lock and unlock your door, grant access to guests remotely, and receive notifications whenever your door is opened or closed.

How easy is it to install Sesame?

Installation is designed to be very simple, taking only seconds. You just tape the Sesame device to your door with the included 3M Command tape. No tools are required, and it fits over your existing deadbolt without needing to remove or swap any parts.

Does Sesame work with all types of deadbolts?

Sesame is designed to fit most single-cylinder deadbolts commonly found in the USA, Canada, and several other countries. Its patented self-adjusting mechanisms allow it to work effectively regardless of the lock's exact position or angle.

How is the battery life and what happens when it's low?

Sesame offers a long battery life, lasting approximately 500 days on the supplied lithium batteries. The app will send you a notification when the batteries are running low, giving you ample time to replace them.

Can I control Sesame with my Apple Watch?

Yes, you can lock and unlock your door using the Sesame app on your Apple Watch. If you encounter connection issues, try toggling your Watch's Flight Mode on and off while ensuring your Sesame device is within Bluetooth range.
