  How to:   Remotely Configure Smart Ezlo-connected Lock Settings 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 relock timing, keypad   volume, one-touch locking, wrong code entry limits, shut down time, 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 relock and relock time to secure doors after a set period. 
  • Turning on one-touch locking so guests can lock the door with a single button   press on their way out. 
  • Setting a wrong code entry limit and shut down time to temporarily lock out the keypad after too   many failed attempts. 
  • Tracking lock activity logs remotely. 
  • Standardising 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: Auto relock, one-touch locking,   wrong code entry limits, and shut down timers help keep guest belongings 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, one-touch locking, wrong code entry limit, or shut down time)     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, such as           Auto Relock and Relock time, keypad Volume,           One Touch Locking,           Wrong Code Entry Limit, Shut down time, or Logs           options. 
          
                  
Step 4:                   Click on the Edit icon for the feature you want to edit, and           then toggle it on and click Save. 
          
                  

 

Note on status badges: The "applying" and "applied" labels are not shown by default when you first open the settings modal. They only appear after you save a change, letting you know the update is on its way to the lock ("applying") or has already reached it ("applied").

 

  
  Key Features

  • Automatic Discovery: Lynx queries the lock automatically to   reveal only the features it supports. 
  • Popular Owner Options: Quickly adjust Auto Relock timing, keypad   Volume, One Touch Locking, Wrong Code Entry Limit, and Shut down time, some of the most requested   settings by property owners. 
  • Visual Feedback Pipeline: Tracks real-time configuration states   via status badges that appear only while an update is in progress or once it's   confirmed. You won't see these badges when you first open the modal. 
  • Over-The-Air Provisioning: Pushes physical lock firmware configurations   wirelessly without manual intervention.
