Step 3: Install the Bluetooth Gateway

Your Bluetooth gateway arrived! Plug the Bluetooth gateway into an Internet router with an Ethernet connection to form a secure wireless connection between Kevo and the Bluetooth gateway. Make sure the gateway is within Bluetooth range of the lock to get the best connection. If you have more than one Kevo deadbolt and wish to control all Kevo locks remotely, you are in luck! One Kevo Plus gateway can connect to multiple Kevo locks.

Step 4: Enjoy Ultimate Convenience

When you need to open the door, tap “Unlock” on the app or on MyKevo.com, and the Kevo Plus gateway will communicate via Bluetooth Low Energy with the Kevo smart lock, unlocking it in seconds. Never wonder if your door was left unlocked or scramble home to let someone inside again.

Love Kevo’s Touch-to-Open feature? All Kevo users will still be able to use the patent-pending Touch-to-Open Technology, which enables users to lock or unlock the door by touching the smart lock if an authorized smart phone is within range.
