New update killed lock

After installing update on 10/17, my lock stopped allowing me to remotely lock/unlock. The 2 minute timer stopped locking the door and we only found out after noticing it never locked at night time. Please release a new update!!!

The lock and the people behind it

The Yale Assure lock 2 smart touchscreen is not only an excellent lock, but their customer service is just as good. I have had it for almost a year now and am happy with it and strongly recommend it

Cannot set up account

The app does not let me set up an account, will not send an email

Good but could be better

The app needs to ad a critical alert option that tells you the door was left open. Aldo HomeKit integration should have access to the contact sensor.

Will not connect

No matter what I do or how many times I attempt, my keypad lock will not connect to WiFi. I’m on the correct network, I have the app, my internet works just fine, I don’t have a mesh, I don’t have an extender, my phone is on the 2.4 network as it should. Still doesn’t connect.
