Despite following these instructions several times, the Alexa integration simply will not work. Judging by the Alexa Skill reviews, I’m not alone. Figured I’d ask here before shipping the product back. Any thing I’m missing? It all links and such but when I trigger a routine to lock, it says it was unlocked but it doesn’t do anything at all.
I was able to solve this. It seems their setup process is very finicky and not easily recovered.
removed device from U-tec account
logged out of app
deleted app
disabled alexa skill
removed device from Alexa
held button on bridge to reset it
followed setup instructions below
This prob one of the least forgiving setups I have encountered. As a professional software engineer, I can say that the poor reviews are mostly well deserved as it seems the setup requires a complete “happy path” scenario or your hosed. Good luck.
I just installed the lock which I bought expecting I could schedule routines on Alexa. I’m unfortunately having the same problem, and the reviews of the Alexa skill point out that there’s a clear issue. Like everyone else, Alexa reports that the lock gets locked or unlocked even though nothing actually happens. This is very disappointing…I would also not recommend this product to anyone.
Yeah, same problem here. Set up as directed. Didn’t work (said locked/unlocked but wasn’t). Then, randomly, it worked ONCE. Then quit working again. Fucking garbage, wish I could return this piece of shit.
