Pairing your Bold Smart Lock with Homey allows your home to be more responsive and personalized. Imagine unlocking your door and having your lights turn on, or your thermostat adjust to your preferred setting.
Activating Your Bold Smart Lock
Once your devices are successfully paired, you can activate your Bold Smart Lock using the Homey app. To ensure a reliable connection, we recommend using the Bold Connect. While certain Homey models (like the Homey Pro 2019) may maintain a stable Bluetooth connection, the Bold Connect option guarantees a secure Wi-Fi connection between your Homey and Bold devices.
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to set up this integration:
Getting Started
- Ensure devices are ready: Make sure your Bold Smart Lock and Homey account are both set up and functioning independently.
- Find the Bold extension: In the Homey app, locate and install the Bold extension. This will add Bold as an available connection within the app.
- Log into your Bold account: Access your Bold Smart Lock by logging into your Bold account through the Homey app.
Adding Bold Smart Lock to Homey
- Search for Bold devices: In the Homey app, search for Bold Smart Lock. You will see a list of all Bold Smart Locks associated with your Bold account.
- Select and add devices: Choose the Bold Smart Lock(s) you wish to add to your Homey profile. This will enable communication between Homey and your Bold devices.
