And something extra special for you: https://tedee.com/knowledge-base/apple-homekit/ :)
Same here ! It just works beautifully ! Good work Tedee Development team !
Now just waiting for the Keypad and I will be all set !
Konrad, please congratulate everyone involved.
Hey Andrey,
1) That very much depends on what you need the bridge for... HomeKit hub does not update the lock automatically, nor it allows remote access for Android mobile devices, and it does not broadcast iBeacon to speed up Auto-unlock... HomeKit hubs let you change the lock position remotely, check the battery status and check whether the lock is locked or unlocked
2) in general it works more stable with the bridge but the mobile app ALWAYS connects with the lock over Bluetooth during Auto-unlock
3) no difference after you add it to Home App... the only difference is how you do it
4) new locks have different bar codes and SKUs (ending with "HK") and are packed in new boxes with "Works with Apple HomeKit" icons.
Take care!
Hey Lars, we're on it... more news should arrive in three weeks. The point is that we cannot give you any exact date at the moment but it's near.
Hi Lars,
This is the plan:
yes you can pull the latch but because of HomeKit limitations it will not be as simple as button click
