Terrible

Almost never works. Have to force kill it multiple times before it can read the lock, sometimes even then it doesn’t load. Hasn’t worked with HomeKit in a year or more. Would not buy again.

Having issue?

if you can’t add people or codes, take yourself off of your local Wi-Fi. This app works a lot better when it’s not connected to the local network.

Unbelievable

So apparently the Yale app will automatically create “Homes” based on what is in HomeKit and if you delete them it will delete your entire setup from HomeKit with ambiguous warning…The kicker is I didn’t have any Yale products at the home I deleted from the Yale app and spent hours trying to get every smart product setup in my home on HomeKit again.

Don’t understand why Yale interacts with HomeKit that way as there is absolutely no reason for it and why isn’t there a crystal clear warning that by deleting a home from the Yale app will completely delete the entire Home from HomeKit…Infuriating to say the least.

Garbage.

Great hardware, horrible software. Error after error…what a waste of money.
