#Yale smart lock deadbolt full

One of the two Yale keypads works fine but always reports low battery even after battery replacement. I solved by just buying another one, that doesn't have that problem. One of the Yale bridges will always lose connection to WiFi within a day or two, no matter how often I reset it, re-add it, or rebuild the whole setup. I have strong WiFi signal everywhere thanks to 7x EAPs in the home, with proper roaming setup. I have 2x locks, 2x external keypads, and 2x WiFi bridges. Twice in a year I have had similar problems to yours with Yale Linus and their WiFi bridge. They are supposed to be Yale's partner and they even resell the Linus locks in a Bosch branded package. I don't have it as bad as you, because I don't use the Alexa automation, but I use the Bosch Smart Home integration. The problem is on the Yale access side, but I'm closing in on two years now with no resolution. All of my other Alexa integrations work just fine, including a few that I have written myself. Amazon's not going to help, and that's because it isn't their problem. Usually, it ends with 'you'll need to contact Amazon as it is a problem on their end'.

Eventually, if I try hard enough they'll get me to do a full factory reset on one of my locks, but when it is all done, I get the same very intermittent behavior with the Alexa integration. It has nothing to do with my proximity to the door lock. I mean, my phone is using wi-fi to talk to Amazon's servers, Amazon's servers are talking to Yale's servers, and Yale's servers are talking to my Wifi bridge, and that's talking to the lock. Their opening question: 'how far are you standing from your lock?'. Me 'I am getting a server error trying to lock my lock from Alexa'. Let me tell you about the last time I called Yale Access support on the Alexa issue. I have also tried Hue integration, but the same issue - you can't lock the doors from the Hue integration. I have also tried IFTTT integration, but that integration doesn't allow any control of the locks. But I can't do that because most of the time I can't even control the locks from the Alexa app due to a 'communications error'. The only thing I want to do is automatically lock all of my doors at night. Pretty much every 1-2 months I have to spend an hour or two fixing something with one of these locks.Īnd then there is the Alexa integration. Or perhaps I have to re-register the module in the lock. The Wifi bridge has to be reset, or maybe factory reset, or maybe just power cycled. Some of the locks burn through batteries quickly which is annoying, but even worse, every ~6 mo or so I have to fix something around the connectivity of each lock. These locks have been nothing but trouble and Yale support has been absolutely no help. I purchased the version with an access module and a WiFi bridge for each lock. I purchased four Yale Access Assure locks for the purpose of keyless entry into my home and integration with Amazon Alexa. (If you would like your sub listed please contact the mods!)
