Smartlock autolock issues after latest update

It seems after the latest update for the door lock the lock jams after autolocking. You have to fight the door lock, when unlocking manually, to get it back into the 'open' position. Not sure if it has something to do with the update or having to calibrate it after, but it worked fine before the update.

Has anyone else experienced this? Do I need to reset it to default?

Hi morpheous_s,

I will report this to our engineers. Could you let me know the exact version number your Smart Lock's firmware is on? You can find that info on your Keypad, under Menu > System Settings > Diagnostics.

I checked and there was nothing for the smart lock in the Diagnostics.

The Keypad is v 2.5.0

The Base Station is v 2.5.2

A bit of follow-up. It seems if the lock auto locks, is locked/unlocked by the keypad, or is locked/unlocked using the app then it sticks in the position it's put in. So if the app unlocks it then it sticks in the open position, you having to fight the mechanism to lock it and if the app locks it then it sticks in the locked position, you having to fight the mechanism to unlock it.

Apologies, I was incorrect. There's currently no frontend way for you to check your Smart Lock's firmware. But it does sound like from your symptoms, you're somehow experiencing the issue that the latest firmware is meant to partially address!

For now, I would suggest resetting the Smart Lock by pressing the Reset Button (the one above the batteries) for sixteen seconds. Once you release, it should reboot, and you can set it up again through the app or your Keypad.

If that doesn't help, we might need to send a replacement. Our Support team at 800-548-9508 can help with that!

Our lock has jammed twice since receiving it a couple of months ago, early on, just after installation. None since, thankfully.

@theroutsaz​ is this just completely dead? Battery replacement? I found a fix to my issue I had by replacing batteries/color tab insert/and resetting the base station.
