Change Auto-Lock Delay on August Smart Lock
- Firstly, ensure your August Smart Lock is properly installed and connected to your August App. Make sure both your lock and app are updated to the latest version for the best compatibility.
- Open the August App on your smartphone. Ensure your Bluetooth is enabled to communicate with the lock. If your lock is connected to a Wi-Fi bridge, you can also manage it over the internet.
- Locate and tap on the specific lock you wish to adjust from your list of devices.
- Once you’re in the lock’s settings, look for the 'Settings' icon or tab, often represented by a gear or three dots symbol.
- Scroll through the settings options until you find 'Auto-Lock'. This feature automatically secures your door after a specified period of time.
- Select 'Auto-Lock', and you will see a list of time intervals ranging from 30 seconds to 30 minutes. Select the desired auto-lock delay that suits your preference.
- After selecting your preferred delay time, make sure to save your settings. Usually, this is done by tapping 'Save' or 'Confirm'. The app might automatically save the settings as you adjust them.
- Test your changes by leaving the door unlocked and observing how long it takes to auto-lock based on the time you set.
Troubleshoot Common Issues
- If the auto-lock setting isn’t applying, double-check that your Bluetooth is on and that your smartphone is within range if you're using the lock's Bluetooth functionality. For Wi-Fi connected locks, ensure your lock is online.
- Make sure your August App is up-to-date. Check for app updates in your device's app store and install any available updates.
- If problems persist, try rebooting your smartphone or reinstalling the August App to ensure it is running smoothly.
- Consult the August support website or contact their customer service for additional troubleshooting steps or device-specific issues that may arise.
