Smart Features
Auto-Lock & Door Magnetic Sensor
The built-in magnetic sensor detects when your door is closed and automatically locks it after a set period (configurable via app). You can also disable this feature for passage mode. The sensor also provides real-time notifications if the door is not properly closed or is left open.
Do Not Disturb & Passage Mode
Activate 'Do Not Disturb' mode to mute lock sounds during specific times, ensuring quiet. 'Passage Mode' allows the door to remain unlocked for continuous access, ideal for gatherings or busy periods.

Real-time Notifications
Receive instant alerts on your smartphone for all lock activity, including unlocks, door status, and low battery warnings.
