Everyday Use with the Yale Smart Safe

The Yale Smart Safe can easily be operated locally using the Yale Home app- as long as you're within Bluetooth range.

The Smart Safe does not have built-in Wi-Fi. If you wish to control it and receive notifications remotely (when you're not nearby), you'll need a Yale Connect Wi-Fi Bridge (sold separately). This Bridge connects to your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network and communicates with Safe via Bluetooth, enabling remote access through the Yale Home app.

If you choose not to use the Wi-Fi Bridge, you can still operate the Safe locally using the Yale Home app- as long as you're within Bluetooth range.

To adjust the Safe's sound settings:

1. Open the Yale Home App.
2. Select your Safe and then tap the gear icon in the top right of the screen to get to Settings.
3. Scroll to Device Settings and select.
4. From here you can adjust the Safe's sounds to your preference.

There is a maximum number of 25 Yale Home app users that can have access to the Safe at the same time.​

If you've enabled Apple HomeKit for your Smart Safe, you can add a new Owner and grant them HomeKit access at the same time. 

Important Notes

To successfully invite a new user to your HomeKit-compatible Yale Smart Safe:

• The invited user must be added as an Owner in the Yale Home App.
• They must accept the HomeKit invite via the Apple Home App.
• After accepting, they need to connect to the Smart Safe via Bluetooth using the Yale Home App 2–3 times to finalize the setup.

Steps for the Invited User

1. Accept the HomeKit invite in the Apple Home App.
2. Open the Yale Home App and connect to the Smart Safe via Bluetooth.
3. If connection fails, repeat step 2 until the setup is complete.

Once these steps are completed, the new Owner should be able to access the Smart Safe using HomeKit.

To receive Smart Safe notifications anywhere, a Yale Connect Wi-Fi Bridge (sold seperately) must be linked to the Safe and set up in the Yale Home app.

If you are the only app owner for the Yale Smart Safe and wish to delete because you no longer require access to it, you will need to factory reset the device to remove it from your account. Factory resetting will also remove all other associated accounts from the Safe.

1. Ensure you are within Bluetooth range of the Safe (4 metres).
2. Open the Yale Home app.
3. Select your Safe and then the settings icon.
4. Scroll down to Utilities, select Factory Reset and follow the onscreen prompts.
5. The Safe has now been reset and removed from your Yale Home app.

If you are a Guest user for a Safe and you want to remove the device from your account:

1. Open the Yale Home app, select "Access” from the bottom of the screen.
2. Select your profile.
3. Select "Remove User".

If you have an Apple Watch and a Yale Smart Safe connected to the Yale Home app, you can use your Apple Watch to operate the device.

Firstly, ensure that you have installed the Yale Home app on your Apple Watch. You can do this using the "Watch" app on your iPhone.

Open the Yale Home app on your Apple Watch. Tap the green lock circle to unlock Safe. You can also tap the red lock circle to lock (be sure to hold the Safe door closed first).
