YaleWi-Fi Smart Module for Yale Assure Digital Electronic Locks or Levers, ‎R-AYR-MOD-WF1-USA

It’s a good buy

Great purchase, and a great add on to my keyless lock. Very easy to install, and add to the Yale app. Gives the assurance the your door has been securely locked.

I bought a Yales Assure 2 Plus lock without the module and it had real trouble connecting via a HomeKit hub via Bluetooth. I gave up but decided to give this WiFi module a shot. Worked immediately. Not cheap at an additional $60 but after spending $160 on the lock I wasn't going to be beaten!

So I got this to add to a Yale lock I had already. I wanted HomeKit integration. As many others have noted, it was chewing through batteries. It was also flakey on HomeKit integration. The Yale app worked flawless, but I want all smart home stuff to got through Apple Home. So I waited until the Amazon return window was close and finally called customer support. We did a hard reset, a software reset and deleted from Home. They told me to not use rechargeable batteries. They said the way rechargeable's power was given the batteries would drain fast. I don't remember all the details, as I thought it was BS but I did go but some alkaline batteries. Things were getting close as I had home working but could not get calibration to work. They had me drill out the deadbolt but still error messages. They then wanted a video so someone could help trouble shoot. At this point, I said send me the request, but I was likely to return. I got off the phone and decided to do one more hard and software reset. This time everything worked! I took a risk to not return hoping it was all fixed. Before, I was getting low battery messages in one day. It has been 4 days and no low battery. The software integration with Home is not perfect. Yale did a great job attempting to resolve this.

A bit pricey but really worth it to access your lock remotely.

We are opening a small like boutique hotel, where we have installed Yale locks in each one of our units. Locks were working fine up until I purchased these devices so that I can operate them wirelessly through the app. As soon as I installed the Wi-Fi smart module everything connected very easily. I was very happy until I got my first notification that the batteries were drained. I figured the batteries it came with were low, so I went ahead and replace them with new Duracell batteries. Three days later I get notification again batteries have 20%, and four days later again, three days later again. I’ve been replacing the batteries every 3 to 4 days. It is impossible to operate a business. I have contacted Yale and they are not able to help. They blame it on the Wi-Fi. The devices are connecting instantly, WiFi reading is very good. We have commercial network with a dedicated wifi network for locks only. Plus we have a IT team monitoring this. I purchased a total of 13 that is a lot of money and it’s non-refundable?I have to go and spend more money on the older August connect bridge modules that we have used in the past as they seem to work much better. Only problem Is they need to be plugged in so that’s a bit of a hassle but beats the battery replacement cost.This is supposed to be the newest thing from Yale and it’s horrible. There’s are few more reviews here from people running Airbnb commenting on the same problems. So please do not buy these for commercial use. They will not work.

I bought a bunch of Yale touchpad locks for my house. Most worked perfectly but 2 I couldn't get to work with the wifi.Turns out I bought the wrong locks. I thought I'd have to uninstall, send back, reorder the right ones, install again ... but this module, though a little extra $, was much easier to order. I just took out the wrong module and popped these in and voila! It was worth the extra cost.

Works perfectly with my Yale lock. Definitely recommended!!
