Frequently asked questions about Yale Home App

Yale Home  is the Yale App that enables customers to remotely access and manage Yale smart products, including Yale Home enabled Smart locks, Smart Cabinet locks and more, from their smartphone or tablet. The app allows users to lock and unlock, share access with trusted family or friends, view access history, receive notifications, and customise settings from wherever you are in the world. The app works alongside the Yale Connect Wi-Fi Bridge to give users the ability to manage remotely and integrate with voice assistants.

The version of the App you have downloaded on your device can be seen by selecting the menu in the top left-hand corner. 

The Yale Home App will seamlessly connect over the best method available, choosing between Bluetooth and Wi-Fi automatically. Simply open the app and navigate to your lock screen and the Yale Home App will do the rest for you.

The icon in the upper right of the lock screen indicates how you are currently connected to your lock.

If you are unable to find your device in the Yale App, this article provides troubleshooting steps and scenarios.

First, go to your Keychain in the Yale Home App. If the house where the lock you are trying to find is associated with is listed in the keychain, select it.  If the house is empty, meaning there are no locks associated with it, select the menu in the upper left corner of the screen and then choose “Set up a Device”. If you do not see the house the lock is associated with in the keychain, there may be an issue with account configuration. The different user scenarios below should help:

If you are the only Owner on the Lock

If the device does not appear in the App and you are the only user on the account, you will need to perform a factory reset of all the devices on the account. Contact your regional Customer Support team for assistance.

If you are a secondary Owner on the Lock

Ask the main Owner to delete your account from the Guest List and then resend an invitation. Please ensure that the Owner uses the phone number associated with your Yale Account to resend the invite.

If you are a Guest on the Lock

If you are a guest on the lock, there are various reasons why the Lock isn't appearing:

1. An Owner may have removed you from the lock. If you believe this was done in error, contact the Lock Owner to have them re-invite you.
2. If the Owner did not remove you from the lock, there may be multiple accounts associated with your information. Ask the Owner to delete your invite and re-send. Verify that your phone number is the same as what is on your Yale Account.
3. The phone number used to create the invitation may contain a typo. Ask the Lock Owner to delete the invitation and re-send it using the correct phone number.
