Hello! While I’m setting up this lock with HomeKit, it asks for a HomeKit setup code, where would I find this in the packaging?

HI.
I have the Yale Smartlock (z-wave YRD256-ZW2-619). Samsung Smartthings hub, Amazon Echo Alexa. iPhone 7.
QUESTION: When I have a party, How do I quickly turn auto re-lock on/off from an app instead of using the touchscreen?
Touch the keypad with the palm of your hand, then enter the master code followed by the ‘#’
Select the ‘9’ button followed by the ‘#’
Press ‘1’ for auto re-lock on, or ‘3’ for auto re-lock off
Press ‘#’ to complete.

Think step one to have a locked door, is not to put small glass windows next to a lock you can open from the inside.

[@ockeive5]

Can you set personalized labeled codes and also see when those codes were used to unlock the door?

[@OurAppleHome]

You can label the codes, and you can see logs for the labeled codes... I don’t see a way to see logs for the master code. Sadly I trained everyone to use the master code 😆

Dose Apple TV need to be hooked up for this to work As the hub? With having the M 1

[@whiskeyboss2671]

Do you need to buy the Yale Assure Lock Wifi Deadbolt Adaptor Kit? So it can work properly?

[@HarrisonCooper]

I wish this question would be answered

[@Calz3n]

I have the same question. Bought the Yale Assure 2 and still haven’t gotten it to work consistently even with an Apple TV

[@jason8anthony]

Do I need the connect bridge for homekit or just the module that goes in the lock.

[@MULTIMEDIAKING94]

I literaly have to keep changing the code for some reason it just keeps not working after it works the first time

[@OurAppleHome]

That sucks. Did you flash the firmware on the lock?

[@marcusnz232]

I can’t get mine to pair with the iPhone at all. Just not there.

[@OurAppleHome]

Did you install the orange looking HomeKit module? Or was your module a different color?

[@marcusnz232]

@@OurAppleHome yes the orange one. The box says it works with Homekit.

[@KingdomFTX]

Did you get it working properly with your iPhone?

[@marcusnz232]

@@KingdomFTX No. Gave up. I assume the module is DOA.

[@bodyboardingbum]

Anyone solve this? Mine is doing the same, doesn’t appear after installing the orange module. - but it did for a little while? This lock is a waste of money, so unreliable.

[@fitriakis]

Can you unlock the door with Apple watch?

[@OurAppleHome]

You can ask Siri on any device to unlock your door lock, sure.

[@KingdomFTX]

But can you use Apple Watch? 😎

[@delkor007]

@@KingdomFTX homekit works on Apple watch so yes

Yale secure lock app sucks!
