If you have a HomeKit-enabled Smart Safe, adding a new Owner and giving them HomeKit access can be done at the same time. 

PLEASE NOTE: The invited HomeKit user must also be an Owner of the Smart Safe in the Yale Home App and they must accept the HomeKit invite from the Home App. Then, they must access the lock over Bluetooth with the Yale Home App 2-3 times to finalize the HomeKit invite.

The invited HomeKit user should be able to connect to the safe over HomeKit following the steps below:

1. Accept the HomeKit invite inside the Home App
2. Once the invite has been accepted, open the Yale Home App and connect to the safe over Bluetooth

If they cannot connect to the safe using the Home App, they need to repeat step 2.

The Keychain allows you to manage all of your properties or homes in the Yale Home App. If you have multiple properties, you can create keys for all of them in your keychain. Each property added to your keychain will extend the list of keys and you will need to scroll to access them.

Adding a House

1. Open the Yale Home App
2. Navigate to the Main Menu in the top left corner
3. Select Set up a Device
4. Scan the QR code (this is normally found under the battery cover on the lock). If that is not possible, select Can’t Scan the data the type of device you want to set up
5. Select START
6. Select Continue and then Begin Setup by allowing the Yale Home App to scan for the new device
7. Once the App finds the Lock, you will be given a list of all properties already listed in your Yale Home App as well as an option to Create a New House. Select this option to create a new key in your Keychain.
8. When prompted, give your house a name and photo and then Continue.

Continue setting up the device by following the in-App instructions. The next time you open your Yale Home App, you should see the new house in the Keychain. You will also be able to add new devices to this House at set up for new devices going forward.

Removing a House

If you wish to remove a House from the Keychain in the Yale Home App, you can do so by factory resetting any locks associated with the house. A house disappears when an Owner factory resets all locks associated with the house. Follow instructions for factory reset (they are the same for Yale Linus^® Smart Lock).

If you are a guest, the house is removed from your Keychain when you are no longer a Guest of any of the locks associated with the house. Guests may remove themselves from the house via the App as well.
