To add a user, specifically a guest, to your Yale smart lock, you primarily use the Yale Home App. This process allows you to grant temporary or specific access to individuals through digital invitations.
The most straightforward and recommended method for adding users, particularly guests, to your Yale lock is through the intuitive Yale Home App. This application provides a seamless way to manage access and monitor your lock from anywhere.
Step-by-Step Guide to Inviting a Guest
Follow these simple steps within the Yale Home App to send an invite to a new guest:
- Open the Yale Home App: Launch the application on your smartphone or tablet. Ensure you are logged into your account.
- Navigate to the Guest Management Section: Locate and select the Guest Icon from the menu, typically found on the lower right of the screen. This section is dedicated to managing all user access besides the primary owner.
- Initiate the Invite Process: Select the Invite option.
- Choose an Invite Option: From the available choices, select the preferred invite option. These options might vary but typically include methods like inviting via text message or email, allowing you to send a secure link to your guest.
Once the guest accepts the invitation and sets up their access, they will be able to unlock your Yale lock according to the permissions you have granted.
