      Ordered it once you guys added the Bold lock to Homey, via your coupon code at Bold itself.
      I've got two kids and would like to have them open the door. Now I have a foscam VD1 that can generate snapshots so the whole doorbellthing is a nice thing but more of a gimmick maybe. What kind of options are there to give to my kids or grandma for example? You got the click from bold itself but the possibilities are now 'endless' maybe something like a bluetooth tracker or z-wave/zigbee button maybe nfc or a keypad/fingerprint reader?
      Would love to see some creative/secure ways to deal with this

      ​@@wotter814 Good question. It's a tough one to be able to give guests access securely. You can use an NFC that you stick to the door, but this you still need to scan with your smartphone. Now I do know that Bold is working on a feature to basically have the Lock in 'unlock mode' for as long as you would like. So you can say between certain times, that the door is fully unlocked. Perhaps when the kids come home from school, or if they are out playing you can set it to be unlocked. I was personally thinking of something like 'When' the Post Box is open (using a door window sensor) -> 'And' the doorbell is pressed -> 'Then' unlock the front door. So the kids can open the mailbox lid, and press the doorbell and then the door opens. It's tough really to come up with a smart, easy to use, yet secure method for this. But if you do come up with something, I'd love to hear about it!

      @@homey i really like the numberpad from Yale but unfortunatly there is no way to get it to work without the yale lock. But something similar from a third party would be swell. Anyway hopefully Bold will make that in the future, I requested them for it so there is a 'slight demand' already.
      The mailbox/doorbellpress wouldn't be that safe imo. If the mailman rings the bell and decides to leave a note in the mailbox the door unlocks;). I can just give them a smartbutton or something that will do the trick safely.
      I will get the bold smartlock today so I will mess arround for a bit. If you come up with some creative ways I'd love to hear them. If I have some luminous idea I'll post it here or on the community forum.
      See you on the next one!

    Ik zag dat de bold internetbridge niet nodig is en dat het direct koppelbaar is aan homey. Mijn homey staat zo'n 7 meter en 2 houten deuren verder. Ik ga er vanuit dat dat niet gaat lukken. Zou ik met de nieuwe homey pro 2023 en een homey bridge als sataliet de bluetooth van die bridge kunnen gebruiken?
    Verder zal ik in het filmpje vooral voorbij komen dat je het slot kortdurend in kunt stellen op dat je hem open kunt draaien, bijvoorbeeld als je op een knop drukt. Kan ik ook (via homey?) instellen dat de deur van buiten altijd open gedraaid kan worden tussen bepaalde tijden of als we thuis zijn?

    • @homey
      @homey  Před rokem +1

      Hey Glenn, you will be able to use the new Homey Pro (2023) together with a Homey Bridge as satellite to do this indeed. However, bear in mind that the Satellite functionality doesn't have a set release date yet. The alternative is to use the Bold connect bridge to connect with the Lock (but I know, that's a little pricey compared to Homey Bridge).
      As to your second question I do not know if an 'open' mode is available currently, from my experience the door auto locks after a set amount of time (customized in the Bold App). It may be that Bold offers a scheduling option which keeps the door unlocked between certain times, but you'd need to check this with them first. Don't take my word for it. 😅

      Hey Kelvin, it shouldn't be required to use the Bold Connect, however if you have it, then it might be a good idea to connect via that. If you connect direct to the Bold lock, then Homey must be in close proximity (Bluetooth range) of the Bold lock.

      Hey W Otter, could be that it's out of range. The direct connection works via Bluetooth which unfortunately has quite small range. So make sure you place your Homey close to the Bold Lock. This should help the stability of the connection.
