  • If you send an invite to your lock and your guest does not receive it, there may be an issue with the contact information you sent it to. Double-check that the number you sent the invitation to is the correct number. If the invite was sent to an incorrect number, go into the Yale Home Application, delete and resend the invite ensuring that the phone number is correct. If that doesn’t work, please make sure the contact in your phone has their number saved in an international format (with the country code in front of the number), then try sending the invite again.

  • If your guest received an SMS invitation from you, but after setting up their Yale Home account they do not see your house in their Yale Home app keychain (main menu), there may be an inconsistency between the number you sent the invite to and the number the guest created their account with. If this happens, ensure that the numbers match by cross-referencing the number you sent the invite to with the one on the new account. If the numbers do not match, delete the invitation and resend it to the number in their account. The guest should then find the house in the keychain.
