If your partner, your child or a handyman is at your door, you can give them access to your house on the road, at the office or even on vacation. You use the app on your smartphone for this.

If your phone is still on the kitchen table or is empty, there is also a backup pin code that you have set in the app. Input is via the outside knob of the smart lock, so you are not completely lost without a smartphone. For that reason, the app will indicate in time when the battery of your lock is expected to run out. Opening from the inside is always an option.
