Admin Code

• Adding and Removing Users: Managing who has access to the lock.

Battery Status

The battery status feature in the app provides real-time information about the power level of your smart lock's batteries.

When the battery level is low, the app will send you notifications to replace the batteries promptly.

2. Tap the smart lock.
3. Tap the Device Settings icon [].

4. Under Battery, you will see the smart lock's battery status displayed as a percentage.
