 How can I schedule Auto-Lock and set up other automations for my Smart Lock using IFTTT?

Kwikset x IFTTT Integration:

Kwikset’s integration with IFTTT (If This Then That) allows users to automate their smart locks for enhanced security and convenience. It connects directly to your existing Wi-Fi router, the Kwikset app, and smartphone to create a simple and secure smart home, without a third-party hub or panel. One of the most practical automations is Auto-Locking at a Scheduled Time, ensuring your door secures itself without manual intervention.

How It Works

Using IFTTT, you can create an Applet that automatically locks your Kwikset smart lock at a specific time each day. This is ideal for maintaining security at night, ensuring entry points are locked after business hours, or setting up automatic routines for your home for peace of mind.

Setting Up Auto-Lock with IFTTT

1. Sign Up or Log In: Ensure you have an IFTTT account and that your Kwikset lock (https://ifttt.com/kwikset) is connected.



2. Create an Applet:

    • Click on Create or go to (https://ifttt.com/create), Select IFTTT’s Date & Time service as the trigger (e.g., "Every day at 10:00 PM").
    • Choose Kwikset Smart Lock as an action.
    • Set the action to “Lock my door” for your selected Kwikset device.



    3. Save & Activate: Your lock will now automatically secure itself based on the defined schedule.
