Bolt NFC

NFC support for Android is really limited, and non-existent for Android watches. The app worked for auto unlock for a few days (which game me hope, since previous locks haven't worked at all - oh well). It's decent enough as a smart lock, considering it was half price. Definitely glad it was discounted though.

Too many issues. I bought 3, replacing 3 earlier generation UltraLoc products. What I’d like is a tight geo fence and constant NFC unlock. As it is, when I drive by on the highway, I go through a “close” “not close” phase. Then getting all the way home, close again. I want the garage interior door to auto-lock. That it does, but I’d like NFC (it’s in the product name after all) to unlock it whenever I approach it. Instead, I bounce off the door if I’ve worked in the garage for a bit, or when going from inside into the garage. Ideally, it would function like a BMW I recently rented: unlock on approach, lock when subsequently left. Do these locks in fact have NFC connectivity? Is this just a case of incompletely implemented capability? I hope so - to date, it seems to be based on my phone’s GPS location, not NFC. The only plus I see so far is that this model has integrated WiFi connectivity vs the bridges I previously needed.

Updates features are excellent and the design has significantly improved. Installation was easy. Some difficulty to get the Apple Home to connect to it, but after a few retries it worked fine.
