Important information on the integration of Yale locks

Minimum requirement for the Yale integration:

For your Yale locks to work smoothly, controller version 10.36.6123 (or higher) is required. With this version, we are introducing optimised signal routing that significantly improves the reliability and performance of your Yale components.

  • If automatic updates are activated: You do not need to do anything. The update to version 10.36.6123 (or higher) will be installed automatically in the background.
  • If automatic updates are deactivated: Please update your controller manually by 13 November 2026 at the latest to at least version 10.36.6123.
    ⚠️ Please note: If the update has not been carried out by this date, the full functionality of your Yale components can unfortunately no longer be guaranteed from 13 November 2026.

Using partners via the Bosch Smart Home Cloud (Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Mercedes MBUX):

An update to release 10.21.2 must be carried out in order to use these partners.

We anticipate that from the end of June 2024, it will no longer be possible to use the Smart Home Cloud for the Bosch Smart Home controller and Bosch Smart Home controller II with a software version lower than 10.21.2.
