By design, a tedee smart bridge is not required for using a smart lock with a keypad. However, the smart bridge enables push notifications whenever someone presses the bell button. There are more additional features, like automatic updates and low battery alert.

It’s perfect for that. Granting access with a PIN lets you control the timeframe when the code unlocks the door, and your guest does not need to install any app or create accounts. In the coming weeks, the tedee keypad will gain integration with channel management platforms, allowing for automation of granting and sharing PINs with your visitors. The new feature will be enabled simply with a firmware update, free of charge.

Yes, it does, but at the moment, it is inactive. We have added it to enable this feature with a firmware update in the future. You won’t have to replace the device to benefit from NFC.

The keypad requires a PIN that is composed of 5-8 digits. This would make from 100000 to 100000000 combinations. The app doesn’t allow simple PINs with repeated digits, etc. These make guessing a code much harder than physically breaking into a property. Of course, your PIN should be protected and not disclosed to others – just like a traditional key. If you need to share access with someone, you can grant them a new PIN that expires after the set timeframe. When sharing a code with others, remember to use a safe communication method.

Hacking a keypad would be ineffective. What a keypad only does, is transmit the inputted code to a smart lock. The keypad does not store users’ PINs nor directs the lock to unlock. All authorization is executed by a smart lock, using a series of high-security technologies.

They would not be able to use it at all nor steal any of your information. If your keypad is paired with your account, no one can add it to theirs, as long as you don’t unpair it. tedee keypad does not store any of your information or PINs.

We’re working on it and enabling that in the coming weeks. After leaving your place, you will be able to lock tedee by pressing a padlock button.
