This set-up is designed for the Bold Connect in connection with the Bold Smart Lock. For garages, gates, or central doors, please refer to the Bold Controller guide.
We assume you already have one or more Bold Smart Cylinders installed before installing the Bold Connect.
First, make sure Bluetooth is activated on your mobile device and that you have access to the Wi-Fi network. Then perform the following steps:
- Use the included adapter to connect your Bold Connect.
- Press and hold the round button to activate setup mode. Release the button when the LED starts flashing red.
- Open the Bold App and click on the plus (+) sign at the top right and follow the steps in the app.
- Briefly press the round button on your Bold Connect and the button in the Bold App at the same time. The Bold Connect will now be linked to your Bold account.
- Enter a name for your Bold Connect. You can change this later if you wish. Press 'Next'.
- Choose the appropriate Wi-Fi network from the list to set up an internet connection for your Bold Connect.
- Once you have successfully set up an internet connection, you will see a list of locks that are within range of the Bold Connect. These locks can now use the additional functionality.
Only Bold Smart Cylinders linked to the same Bold account can connect to your Bold Connect.
It may take several minutes for all connections to be successfully established. Want to see which Bold Smart Cylinders are connected to your Connect and how strong the signal is? Then look in the Connect's settings under 'Connected locks'.
Do you have multiple Bold Smart Cylinders? If so, you can check whether each of them is within range of the Bold Connect. If the Bold App cannot find a Bold Smart Cylinder, it is probably because it is not receiving the signal from the Bold Connect. This could be the case because the distance between the Bold products is too great or because the signal is weak (because there is a lot of metal or concrete between the Bold Connect and the Bold Smart Cylinder). You could try moving the Bold Connect slightly. In the Bold app, you can immediately see if this solved the problem.
