In today's smart home environment, managing access securely and efficiently is essential. The Lockly Secure Pro offers advanced features like auto-lock and access schedules to enhance your home security. This guide walks you through the steps to set up these features effectively.
Understanding Auto-Lock and Access Schedules
Auto-lock automatically secures your door after a specified period, preventing accidental leave-unlocked situations. Access schedules allow you to define specific times when users can unlock the door, providing controlled access for family members, guests, or service providers.
Prerequisites for Setup
- Ensure your Lockly Secure Pro is connected to your Wi-Fi network.
- Download and install the Lockly app on your smartphone (available for iOS and Android).
- Create or log into your Lockly account.
- Pair your Lockly Secure Pro with the app.
Setting Up Auto-Lock
Follow these steps to activate and configure auto-lock on your Lockly Secure Pro:
Step 1: Open the Lockly App
Launch the Lockly app on your smartphone and select your Lockly Secure Pro device from the dashboard.
Step 2: Access Lock Settings
Navigate to the 'Lock Settings' menu. This section contains various options for customizing your lock's behavior.
Step 3: Enable Auto-Lock
Find the 'Auto-Lock' toggle and turn it on. Set the desired delay time (e.g., 30 seconds, 1 minute) after which the lock will automatically secure the door.
Creating Access Schedules
Access schedules allow you to specify when users can unlock your door. Here's how to set them up:
Step 1: Navigate to User Management
In the app, go to the 'Users' or 'Access Management' section. Select the user for whom you want to create a schedule or add a new user.
Step 2: Set Access Schedule
Choose the 'Access Schedule' option. You can specify days of the week and time ranges during which the user can unlock the door.
Step 3: Save and Confirm
After configuring the schedule, save your settings. The user will now only be able to unlock the lock during the designated times.
Additional Tips
- Test your auto-lock and access schedules to ensure they work as intended.
- Regularly update user access schedules for guests or service providers.
- Keep your Lockly app updated for the latest features and security patches.
By properly configuring auto-lock and access schedules, you can enhance your home's security and manage access more efficiently. Always review your settings periodically to ensure they meet your current needs.
