Apple Home Keys

Step-by-Step: How to Set Up Apple Home Keys on Your Lockly Zeno Series

Lockly 101 - Set up Apple Home Keys for Zeno Series

To use Apple Home Keys, you need to have a iPhone XS or later with iOS 15 or late or Apple Watch Series 4 or later with watchOS 8 or later. 

For remote access controls through the Apple Home app, you'll need a HomePod, Apple TV, or iPad in your home. Without a hub, the Apple Home app will only work with devices on the same Wi-Fi network or within Bluetooth range.

Add your Lockly to the Home app

  1. Tap Home at the bottom left, then tap Add Accessory. 
  2. You can also tap + at the top of the screen, then choose Add Accessory.
  3. Locate the Apple Home code under the battery cover or on the activation card, scan the Apple Home QR code.
  4. Follow in-app instructions to add your Home Key to your Wallet app.

 

    Unlocking your home with Apple Home Keys

    When you have a home key on your iPhone or Apple Watch and you’ve turned on Express Mode, place your device near the lock to unlock it. You can use the Home app to share access with other people.

    Note: You can turn on Express Mode in your wallet app on your iPhone and Apple Watch so that you can unlock your door without requiring Face ID or your passcode and maybe available when you iPhone needs to be charged. 

     

    Set up an access code for a guest
