Is there any way to set the autolock to longer than 4 minutes. Options for 10, 15, 30 or even 60 minutes would be nice.

+1. 4 minutes is really not enough.

Plus it would save battery power.

the auto-lock feature is well made. is there any way to set the day of the week to allowing the auto-lock feature?
my case is every Wed I will hold my piano classes for a couple students. they all will come in before their session and waiting at the living room.
so I can't use the auto-lock feature for now as I can't walk in/out for opening door students while I am teaching every Wed.
thanks!

When I locked the door., the motor seemed to have turned few extra rounds, and when I tried to unlock the door, the number of motor turns couldn't make up the excess lock and now I'm locked out from my home!

I also tried to recalibrate the lock but since I couldn't turn the knob from outside now it's asking me to set up the lock. Now I cannot do anything about it.

That's just wrong that theres no back door control for such mechanical failure.

Being locked out is also my major concern.
I think the app should have an option buried in settings to manually control the motor. For example it can have 2 buttons for turning left and right.
No one would use it every day, but when something goes wrong with the sensor it would allow to open the door "manually".
There are cases when a knob is not directly connected to the key, so when you open/close a door with a key the knob is not fully rotated so Sesame gets confused. Manual override would also be useful in such a case.

Yes, the option to manually turn one or several times in either direction would also solve the problem we have here that makes the sesamy lock "confused" if we lock the door from outside. Locking from outside doesnt turn the knob inside so the sesamy doesn't know the door is locked. So you can't unlock. This feature maybe hidden in the setup section

I have a Segal deadbolt. The Sesame fits over the thumbturn fine, and is able to lock/unlock the bolt. However, locking and unlocking with the key does not turn the thumbturn. Therefore, if I lock the door with a key, Sesame doesn't know that the door is locked, and I can't unlock it with Sesame -- it just tries to lock it more.

It would be great if I could just tell Sesame, "turn 180 degrees to the right, even though you think the door is unlocked." Is there any way to do that, or another workaround? Thanks!

I am not affiliated w/ Sesame — but have you tried just telling the lock to "lock" then "unlock?" Shouldn't it be true that toggling lock vs. unlock states would get the actual thumb turn in sync with the actual lock status?

janak 2017-04-12 00:58:21 UTC #52

Unfortunately, if Sesame isn't able to lock the lock, it doesn't toggle to "unlock" as the action -- it continues to think the lock is unlocked, so "lock" is the only option.

I have two sesame locks, at different locations. when I start the app, it would be nice if it automatically detected which lock I'm close to via GPS and switch to it automatically instead of me switching every time manually.

I think a keypad would be much helpful for my guests to enter my house. some guests seldom visit my house, some of them such as airbnb travellers feel so troublesome to install and uninstall an app in short time, and some of them from overseas can not find this app in their countries' app store. although they are willing to install the app, then here comes other problems like unable to connect to the lock or no sesame lock found.

btw the auto unlock works not very well. for many times I stood in front of my door and no respond, so my roommate unlocked the door, after we came inside the house and locked the door, suddenly door was auto unlocked.

Understood that 2nd gen sesame won't have the sensor and it's probably not the most vital function yet. But I hope that sesame would be able to talk to other sensors to make intelligent decision and truly earn the title of robot on the door.

auto switch to sesame lock shown on app according to GPS location. I have 3 sesame locks, I would like to switch between my home and office lock automatically instead of manually switching everytime i open the app!

Thanks for your feedback! We've received a lot of suggestions for the user interface from those with multiple Sesames. We'll be happy to add your suggestion to the mix - we understand that the current user interface is not ideal for those with multiple Sesame and we will be working to fix this issue. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us, much appreciated! - CANDY HOUSE
