Quick guide from the manual
The Yale Connect Wi-Fi Bridge is an accessory designed to enable remote access to your Yale Smart Lock. It connects your lock to your home Wi-Fi network, allowing you to lock or unlock your door, check status, and receive notifications via the Yale Home App from anywhere.
Key requirements:
- Requires a Yale Home app compatible Smart Lock.
- Requires an active 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network.
- Must be installed within 4 meters of the Smart Lock for optimal performance.
- One bridge is required for each individual Smart Lock.
Product Overview
The bridge acts as a gateway between your Smart Lock and the internet. It plugs into a standard power outlet near the lock. Once set up, the Yale Home App automatically manages the connection, switching between Bluetooth and Wi-Fi as needed.
Installation and Setup
The bridge requires an active, compatible Yale Smart Lock for initial setup. If you have been using your lock via Bluetooth only, you will need to add the bridge to enable remote access. Ensure the bridge is plugged into a power outlet within 4 meters of the lock to ensure a reliable connection.
