How to Set Smart Opener Access Levels

The Yale Home App offers 2 access levels: Owner and Guest. Guest is the default access level for anyone invited to your Smart Lock, but you can update a person's access level when you invite them to your lock or at any time thereafter.

PLEASE NOTE: Guests need to create an account and download the Yale Home App.

Select either iOS or Android (depending on your device) for steps to change Access Levels.
