What happens with a lock in my system?

Smart locks operate independently of the Nifty system, what we do though is take a feed from them to show their status (lock/open.)

The interesting thing here is we can then set a reminder to let you know if you leave a building that the door has not been locked behind you. This might also be combined with a day/night setting to automatically remind you to make sure doors are locked.

We can go further and (if the lock API allows) integrate more fully so that you are able to open and close locks with the Nifty app. In general we do not like to do that and believe that for your own security it is best to minimise the devices that have access to the lock.
