Sesame iOS App Beta Program

I tried knock knock ever since the release as beta function but it only worked once out of who knows how many tries. I saw many cases of false positives, usually running around with the phone in the pocket would inadvertently unlock sesame. So I was actually skeptical of auto unlock given knock knock's track record and pleasantly surprised that it worked much better in comparison.

(beta 1.3 5): The widget is better now that you don't have to tap on the lock name to make the lock and unlock buttons appear. But those buttons are still way too small and are almost identical. They need to be larger and very clearly different. See the suggestions above. Red (lock) and Green (unlock) color coding would be a huge help.

I've been using the sesame app on my iPhone 6 Plus and now 7 plus and all issues I've had have been addressed and it's really been working great. It's also been really cool to see how far it's evolved. Over the last week I've gone away on 3 different overnight trips and each time I came home I had to open the sesame app and unlock manually. Each time the first time I went out after getting home, it worked perfectly when I came home. I was thinking that maybe I had reset the phone on each trip to cause this problem or maybe there is an amount of time when it stops running in the background. I definitely didn't manually close the app.

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong or this is a bug in the app.

Are you also having any Bluetooth connection issues in general? I have been having a plethora of Bluetooth issues on my iPhone 6plus since iOS 10.x has arrived. My temporary fix is turning Bluetooth off and on and then the auto unlock feature works for me. Not sure this is even relevant as you are also having an identical experience with your iPhone 7 plus; but it is just a thought.

Good thought, but it wasn't saying welcome home so I doubt bluetooth was the issue. It happened again last night when I went to grab dinner, I'm guessing it's a location issue with my phone or the app.

It should always be on. It shouldn't drain your battery though.

The app will not launch, it says beta is unavailable. updates on this?

Hi @schlotz @esung ,
You may want to read this article regarding the knock feature.
How do I set up the Knock function and how does it work?

Hi @rizz67,
Can you be more specific with the issue you're encountering?

schlotz 2016-12-20 14:54:05 UTC #141

Hi Alice,
Could you tell us a bit more about this comment in the latest 1.4 (13) beta: "Improvements of Bluetooth Scanning ability." What is to be expected here/what am I testing? Faster connection to the lock via BT? Should it improve response to knocking? Thanks.

schlotz 2017-01-03 15:00:04 UTC #142

The 1.4(16) beta says there were minor UI improvements. I don't see any. Should I? BTW, the release number of the app really should appear somewhere - either on the side panel listing the connected Sesame devices, or in the Account Settings page.

I have the beta app for virtual station, but I have no idea how to get it to work. Is there a beta for the sesame app that I am missing? If there is, it's not available in my TestFlight. Anyone get the virtual station to work? Please send video links if there are any.

Thanks

Hi. I'm trying both the App Beta and the Virtual AP.
The app beta, works fine, but he knock to unlock doesn't work, and the auto unclock doesn't work well since the GPS signal sometimes get lost and the Sesame opens at midnight.
Other than that. Why is the use of the AP if I don't get any notification when someone enter the door?
Just as advices in the camping!!!
Why Ibwoild a phone or iPod the entire day connected to the sesame if I'm not getting any notification?

Any advice or info would be great.
Thanks

Thanks for the invite! Unfortunately, my ipad2 has never connected to my sesame. I've written multiple emails to multiple recipients. TY, Peter

Hi, I'm trying to create a Virtual Station but I can't assign a name to the station. It just keeps saying "Setting..." (for hours)... Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks
