  • Password Unlock: Enter a registered password on the keypad, then press the '#' key. The lock will open if the password is correct.

5.2 Remote Unlocking (Requires Gateway)

To enable remote unlocking functionality via the TUYA APP, an additional gateway device (sold separately) is required. The gateway connects the lock box to your home Wi-Fi network, allowing you to control it from anywhere with an internet connection.

  1. Purchase and set up the KENRONE gateway device according to its instructions.
  2. Ensure the gateway is powered on and connected to your Wi-Fi network.

5.3 Virtual Passcode Function

The virtual passcode feature enhances security by allowing you to enter random digits before or after your actual password. This prevents others from guessing your password by observing your finger movements on the keypad.

Example: If your correct password is "123456", you can enter "456123456321" and the lock will still recognize the correct sequence.

  • Battery Management: Recharge the built-in lithium battery promptly when the low power alarm (blinking blue light after unlocking) is activated. Regular charging ensures optimal performance and longevity.
