Understand the Network Requirements listed in the page and click on “CONTINUE”. Attention: Clicking on CONTINUE will disconnect the user from the current network temporarily, as the new Wi-Fi network scanning is in place. The lock will still be accessible over BLE. In the subsequent page all the supported Wi-Fi network names including the recent network that the lock was connected to were listed. The networks are shown in the order of their signal strength. Choose the desired network and complete the setup. In case of not connecting to any network, a connection is automatically reinstated to the previous network, after 15mins. Ensure there is adequate Wi-Fi coverage and signal strength at the location of the lock. If there is not adequate coverage, we recommend a Wi-Fi extender/repeater device be placed between the router and the lock. Try powering your router and modem off then on again.

Auto-Unlock should be enabled and configured for each lock separately and each user in the home who wishes to use Auto-Lock by Distance must enable and configure the feature on their own phone. To prevent unintended unlocking, this feature will activate only after the phone travels at least 250ft* away from your home and then returns close to a 15ft* radius of the home. Supported Lock Models This feature is available in all Halo lock models, as well as Aura Reach, and can be enabled within Lock Settings in the Kwikset App. Important Notes: *Environmental conditions and other factors impact feature reliability and the distance of the unlock trigger.

This ensures that every Auto-Unlock is followed by an Auto-Lock, providing added security.

Auto-Unlock is working but not triggering correctly when I reach home Ensure the home boundary was correctly set during your initial setup (Step 3 in your auto-Unlock setup). Go to the Auto-Unlock settings page and use the "Edit Boundary" option to check and adjust. While setting or editing home boundary, stay close to your lock with your phone so the App captures the lock’s location on the map correctly. This step is crucial for capturing the lock's location correctly. As an additional verification step, check if your home address is captured correctly. Save the changes. Auto-Unlock stops working after some time Ensure that location services are enabled and kept enabled on your phone. During the initial setup, when prompted for location permission, ensure, Location Services is set to Always and the Precise Location is turned on in your phone settings. If the location service is turned off or modified later after the setup, Auto-Unlock by Distance will not function. Make sure, no change is made to the home boundary in the Auto-Unlock settings I am not getting Auto-Unlock by Distance Notifications on my Kwikset App, or the Notifications are delayed Check if you have turned on notifications for Kwikset App. To receive push notifications related to Auto-Unlock by Distance, ensure that Wi-Fi or mobile data is enabled on your phone. Power saving features on your phone could affect the timing of notifications. If you experience delays or don't see notifications when the phone is locked, try turning off the Power saving feature. Wi-Fi network restrictions from public or shared Wi-Fi networks such as an office or hotel may affect accuracy, try connecting to mobile data instead. If you are traveling, the strength of the cellular signal along your route may affect the timing of notification delivery. Additional Tips: If the issue seems to be beyond Auto-Unlock try to Restart the Kwikset App Restart the Phone Related Features: Check out the Auto-Lock by Duration option in Lock Settings. When enabled, the door will automatically lock after a chosen time delay (ranging from 30 seconds to 10 minutes).
