How to create, modify and delete smart alerts - iOS and Android

Smart Alerts are sent as notifications and let you know about the activity of your Smart Opener. Many Smart Alerts appear in the Activity Feed.

Smart Alert options currently include manual open/close events, user specific operations, notifications for when a garage/gate is left open, Auto-close notifications, and closing with One-Touch Keypad operation (requires Yale Smart Keypad).

Over time, additional notifications and scheduling options will be added.

Select either iOS or Android (depending on your device) for information about smart alerts as well as steps to set them up.
