YALE Smart Lock
The Yale Smart Lock widget lets you lock and unlock your door and check if it is open or closed – right from your mobile application. It works similarly to the standard Smart lock widget but is tailored for Yale locks and includes a few extra states for more detailed feedback.
If you have used the ZigBee Smart Lock widget before, this one will feel very familiar. It is just as easy to use, with a few more detailed states to help you understand what is going on with your Yale lock.
Limitations
-
This widget is not supported in the controller. You can use it in the mobile app, but it will not appear in the controller interface.
