Using wifi to lock or unlock is very laggy, but if you're close enough, it switches to Bluetooth and always works on Bluetooth. I am using this with Airbnb and it's great, it integrates and I no longer have to generate codes or instruct the guest... They automatically receive a message from Airbnb and are given a code that is not effective till a specific time that you assign as your check in time. I used this to replace my Kwikset wifi smart lock, which only let you set dates, but not time.
Terrible compatibility issues. I fought with this app to set up 2 locks for about 4 hours. Constant disconnects and errors during setup. I thought I'd try with another phone, pulled an old Samsung with outdated firmware out, and it worked immediately. Its ridiculous that this app doesnt work properly on Pixels.
Android notifications don't work right. There's no sound to this app, and I have "lock screen, pop-up and badge" toggled, but I only get a dot on the app, and I can see an icon at the top of my phone. I don't get a sound or pop-up. Please help to fix this. The app itself I like, because I can see who's coming and going but I feel like I can't see in real time because I'm not getting the notifications. And I checked my updates for my Android and my phone is totally up to date.
