How to: Remotely Configure Smart Ezlo connected Lock Settings (Auto-Lock and Logs) via Lynx Portal
Introduction
This guide details how to seamlessly manage hardware configurations for your smart locks connected via an Ezlo hub directly from the Lynx portal. Without needing to be physically on-site or dealing with complex manual keypad programming, property administrators can easily adjust settings like auto-lock timing, volume levels, and log entries over the air. The Lynx portal automatically detects individual lock capabilities and provides live confirmation as changes are applied.

Prerequisites: An active account with access to the Lynx portal, a compatible smart lock (e.g., Yale or Schlage) connected to an Ezlo hub, and the lock must be online and properly paired.
When to use this Guide
Use this guide when you need to change hardware preferences without physically going to the property, including:
• Lowering keypad volume to prevent guest noise complaints.
• Modifying auto-lock timers to secure doors after a set period.
• Tracking lock activity logs remotely.
• Standardizing settings across different lock brands (like Yale and Schlage).
Benefits of using this Guide
• Remote Operations: Eliminates driving to properties to press lock buttons manually.
• Cleaner Interface: Hides confusing network configuration fields like "Z-Wave association groups".
• Status Tracking: Real-time status indicators ("applying" and "applied") confirm when changes reach the physical lock, lowering support requests.
• Better Guest Security: Automated locking ensures guest belongings stay safe without manual effort.
Pro-Tip for Property Managers: The settings menu adapts dynamically based on your physical lock brand. If a specific configuration option (like volume control) doesn't appear for your device, it means that particular lock model does not expose or support that feature over the hub. For the most comprehensive remote controls, Yale locks are highly recommended as they fully support this interface.
Step-by-Step Resolution:
| Step | Actions |
| Step 1: | Log in to the Lynx portal, navigate to your property, and click the edit property button. |
| Step 2: | Now, click on Smart Lock and Devices and click on the Lock configuration button for your specific Ezlo-connected smart lock. |
| Step 3: | Wait a brief moment while Lynx fetches the available hardware settings. Adjust your preferences on the screen (e.g., set the Auto-Lock duration or modify Logs options). |
| Step 4: | Click on the Edit icon for the feature you want to edit, and then toggle on and click on save. |
Key Features
• Automatic Discovery: Lynx queries the lock automatically to reveal only the features it supports.
• Visual Feedback Pipeline: Tracks real-time configuration states via explicit transparent status badges.
• Over-The-Air Provisioning: Pushes physical lock firmware configurations wirelessly without manual intervention.
