Yale SecurityWi-Fi Smart Module for Yale Assure Digital Electronic Locks or Levers (Gen 1 or 2), ‎R-AYR-MOD-WF1-USA

It's nice to connect the lock to Wi-Fi and have the ability to use the features of the Yale Lock remotely. Installation & setup are simple.

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!

The hub never worked for me (they kept replacing them when I complained. Went through 4 of them. None of them worked—it was constantly losing connection with the lock and lost the internet signal regularly as well. This module is vastly better. Works like a charm. No more hub. It even improves (but does not wholly solve) the auto-unlock feature's flakiness. Now, auto-unlock works maybe 60% of the time instead of 5% of the time. Makes the lock usable.

Simple install. Great addition to my Yale Smart Lock, really increases control.Would be nice if the unit would be able to take Lithium batteries to increase the time between battery changes.

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.

Works perfectly with my Yale lock. Definitely recommended!!

This product is a must-have in order to access your Yale door from anywhere else other than your home. Once installed nothing else is needed, it is that easy! It's a little pricey but I want access wherever I am that comes at a cost. The YALE auto door locking system itself is great, don't forget this peace though!
