FAQ: Ezlo Connected Lock Configuration
Introduction
The Ezlo Integration for lock configuration lets you manage key hardware settings for your smart locks connected through an Ezlo hub, directly from the Lynx portal. You can adjust settings like keypad volume, auto-lock timing, and log entries without needing to be on-site. Behind the scenes, the Lynx portal automatically communicates with the lock to determine which features it supports, then safely applies your updates over the air — no manual keypad programming or confusing network configuration required.

When to use this guide:
Use this guide when you need to:
- Adjust a lock's keypad volume to prevent noise complaints during late-night arrivals.
- Update auto-lock timing so a door secures itself automatically after a set period.
- Review or manage log entries to monitor lock activity without inspecting the hardware in person.
- Standardize hardware settings remotely across different smart lock brands connected to Ezlo hubs.
Benefits of using this Guide
Frictionless User/Guest Experience
- Guests aren't bothered by loud lock sounds or confusing keypad beeps, since property teams can quickly turn the volume down.
- Auto-locking the door gives guests peace of mind that their belongings are secure, without needing to remember to manually lock up on their way out.
Operational Efficiency for Staff/Admins
- Property teams can adjust hardware settings remotely instead of traveling to the property to use the lock's physical buttons.
- Outdated "Z-Wave association group" settings have been removed from the interface for a cleaner, easier-to-read screen.
- Clear "applying" and "applied" status indicators give staff immediate visual feedback, reducing guesswork and unnecessary support tickets.
Settings vary by lock model: The settings menu changes dynamically based on what a specific lock supports — if a lock doesn't support volume control, that option simply won't appear. The feature was tested primarily with Yale locks but supports any connected smart lock that exposes these capabilities.
Status indicators: Watch for the "applying" and "applied" status labels in the Lynx portal to confirm whether a change has been successfully sent to the lock.

| What is Ezlo lock configuration in the Lynx portal? | It's a feature that lets you manage hardware settings for smart locks connected via an Ezlo hub directly from the Lynx portal, without needing to be on-site. |
| What settings can I configure? | Common options include the lock's keypad volume, auto-lock timing, and log entries, though the exact list depends on what your specific lock model supports. |
| How does the Lynx portal know what settings my lock supports? | When you open the configuration screen, the Lynx portal automatically communicates with the Ezlo hub to read exactly which settings the lock brand or model supports. |
| Why don't I see an option like volume control for my lock? | The settings menu dynamically reflects only the capabilities your specific lock exposes. If a lock doesn't support a feature such as volume control, that option simply won't appear on screen. |
| Which lock brands are supported? | The feature was tested primarily with Yale locks, but it supports any connected smart lock that exposes these capabilities through the Ezlo hub. |
| What do the "applying" and "applied" statuses mean? | After you save a change, the Lynx portal shows an "applying" status while the update is sent to the physical lock. Once the lock confirms it received the new settings, the status updates to "applied." |
| Do I need to visit the property to make these changes? | No. All adjustments are made remotely through the Lynx portal and sent to the lock over the air, so there's no need to drive to the property or push physical buttons on the lock. |
| What happened to the "Z-Wave association group" settings? | Those settings have been removed from the interface. They were redundant and confusing for most users, and removing them keeps the screen cleaner and easier to read. |
