Add Connect Bridge

Adding Connect Bridge to August/Yale Lock
  1. Plug the bridge into a power socket within 10-15 feet of the lock, in an inconspicuous area where the risk of it getting unplugged is minimal. *Note that only one lock can be connected to each bridge.  Note:  Ensure this plug is not connected to a switch that a guest could potentially turn on and off.
  2. If the light on the Bridge is not already flashing green, hold the button on the bridge for 5 seconds until it does so, then tap ‘OK’. 
  3. From the home screen of the app, tap 'Set up a device'
  4. You will be asked to scan the QR code on your bridge.
    • If you can't scan the code, click 'Can't scan the code?' and enter the serial number located behind the bridge.
    • If you cannot enter a serial number or it did not work, click on 'Can't find the serial number' Select 'Yale', then 'Accessory, then 'Yale Connect Wi-Fi Bridge'
  5. Tap ‘Begin Wi-Fi Setup’. It is important to note that you must be connected to a 2.4 GHz WiFi connection in order to function properly
  6. Check to make sure that the correct network is selected. The bridge will now connect to that network
  7. Tap ‘Test Signals’
  8. If the app registers that it "Can't connect to signals'' Ignore this and tap ‘Continue’ to skip this process
  9. Test to see if the lock can be opened and closed with the Bluetooth settings on your phone turned 'on'
  10. Turn off the Bluetooth on your phone and repeat the test to check if the bridge is connected properly. 
  11. If the lock can be controlled without Bluetooth, the lock and bridge are connected properly! 
Connect Bridge placement tips:
  • Whenever possible, plug the Yale Connect Wi-Fi Bridge into your socket right-side up. The top and sides of the Connect Bridge provide the strongest bluetooth and Wi-Fi signals.
  • While the location closest to your lock and/or router will usually result in the best signal, this may not always be the case. If your signal needs improvement, try several sockets in the general area and compare the best signal results.
