FAQs
What Yale locks are compatible with the Connect Wi-Fi Bridge?
The bridge is compatible with Yale Home Locks, Linus, Linus L2, and Yale Doorman models. Please check your specific lock model for confirmation.
Do I need a Wi-Fi connection for the bridge to work?
Yes, a stable Wi-Fi connection (2.4 GHz) is required for the Yale Connect Wi-Fi Bridge to enable remote access and features. Bluetooth is used for communication with the lock itself.
Can I control my lock if my internet is down?
You can still operate your lock manually from the outside using a key, and from the inside using the thumbturn. However, remote features via the app will not be available until your internet connection is restored.
How far can the bridge be from my Yale Smart Lock?
The bridge uses Bluetooth to communicate with the lock. It should be placed within the typical Bluetooth range, usually up to 10 meters (30 feet), but this can vary based on environmental factors. Placing it closer generally ensures better performance.
What happens to my access codes if the bridge loses power?
Your access codes are stored within the Yale Smart Lock itself and on your Yale Access account. They will remain active. However, remote control and status updates via the app will be unavailable until power is restored to the bridge.
Can multiple users connect to the bridge?
Yes, multiple users can be added to the Yale Access app and control the paired lock through the Connect Wi-Fi Bridge, provided they have been granted access by the primary owner.
Troubleshooting
