The most frequently asked questions about the operation of the Yale Linus® Smart Lock
Linus® Smart Lock (Assa Abloy / Yale) - Operation
I have paired the Yale Linus® Smart Lock with my Bosch Smart Home alarm system. When I open the lock, the Bosch Smart Home alarm system should be deactivated. Unfortunately, the alarm still goes off. What can I do?
Maybe the response time of your Bosch smart home system is too long. The system needs some time to deactivate the alarm system when the lock is unlocked. The response time varies from system to system and depends, among other things, on how many products you have integrated into the Bosch smart home system. This could be remedied by increasing the deactivation time in the respective alarm profile in the alarm system. Another possibility could be that you have activated the Auto-Lock settings in the Yale Access app. This causes the lock to lock itself automatically over and over again. You can adjust this via the Yale Access app. You can also remedy this in the Bosch Smart Home app by deselecting the "Auto-Lock" lock type under the automations when activating the alarm system, for the "when lock is locked" trigger. This means that the alarm system will not be activated when the lock is locked via Auto-Lock. Please note that some of the listed function to start the Yale Linus® Smart Lock may not be available in the Bosch Smart Home System.
How many Yale Linus® Smart Locks can I include in my system?
There is no upper limit of Yale Linus® Smart Locks. However, please note that you need a Yale Connect Wi-Fi Bridge for each Yale Linus® Smart Lock.

I use the Yale Linus® Smart Lock in my Bosch Smart Home System. What advantages do I have regarding the alarm system?
By integrating your Yale Linus smart lock with your Bosch smart home system, the alarm system can be automatically deactivated and activated: As soon as the door is locked, the Yale Linus® smart lock sends a message to your Bosch smart home controller. This then automatically activates the Bosch Smart Home alarm system. Of course, the same applies when you unlock the Yale Linus® Smart Lock. Then the alarm system is automatically deactivated. To make these settings, you need to connect the Yale Linus® Smart Lock to the Bosch Smart Home alarm system in the automations (under "Scenarios"). Meaning that you create the Yale Linus® Smart Lock as an "If" function. For example, "WHEN Yale Linus® Smart Lock is locked" "THEN activate alarm system". Please note that some of features may not be available in the Bosch Smart Home System by the start of Yale Linus® Smart Lock.
My Yale Linus® Smart Lock had a previous owner. How can I reset it to factory settings?
Yale Smart Locks that have been previously used must be reset to factory settings before they can be set up by a new owner. If you wish to set up a used device that was not reset to factory defaults before you purchased it, Yale must first obtain permission from the previous owner before you can successfully reset the device. It may take up to 30 days for the previous owner to respond to your request. If you purchased the lock directly from another person or third-party vendor, you can contact them and ask them to reset the device to expedite the process.
