Lock / Unlock Schedule

Add a schedule feature to the U-Bolt app. This will allow a user to lock or unlock the door at specified times during the day. For excample:

  1. Lock the door every day to sunset. (or 5 pm or 8 pm, etc.)
  2. Lock the door at (sunset, 5 pm, or 8 pm) on selected days.
  3. Unlock the door every day at sunrise. (or 8 am, or 10 am, etc.)
  4. Unlock the door at sunrise. (or 8 am, or 10 am, etc.) on selected days.

We are planning to use automation to meet this kind and similar requests. This is under dev plan already.

Hello, Are there any solutions to this request? I see that there are not feature in the app, but is there a way to achieve this? With a third party app. When the kids go play outside and come in and out every 10 min.

Worst Case is there a way to add a home screen quick action? Been looking for solution for over a year.

Thanks Dev

Unused Alexa to lock my door every night at 9pm

Please consider adding a status checker to automation, I.e., if the door is unlocked then lock it. I don’t like it sending a lock command if it’s already locked and it seems that it sometimes confuses Alexa’s lock status (reports unlocked when it is locked).

Not being able to schedule this is giving me reason to switch to another lock. I use this lock in my office and I constantly have to go open the door when people want to come in. Because of that I have the lock set to passage mode, but then I forget to set it back to always lock mode when I leave. Highly annoying! I can’t believe after 3 years that this hasn’t been added yet as a feature!

I fully support you.

Agreed. Theoretically the automation feature should address the simple use case of automatically locking / unlocking at a particular time of day - but it doesn’t. It is really odd that the automation flow requires a device trigger that isn’t simply the time and that this trigger cannot be set to the device we want to lock.

You’d think a time based trigger would be the simplest way to set up an automation. This feels like feature development 101.
