At Kwikset, we’re constantly innovating and improving our technology to provide you with the best and most secure door hardware technology on the market. We’ve been working on an update to the Kevo app and lock firmware, and we are happy to announce its completion!

The latest update, version 1.2, to the Kevo app and firmware provides auto-calibration functionality using patent-pending Inside/Outside positioning technology, as well as all-day eKeys for Keyless entry door locks, to improve user experience.

New Auto-Calibration Functionality

This cutting-edge development leverages proprietary positioning technology to detect whether an authorized user is inside or outside of the home before granting access to help prevent unauthorized entry. As of mobile app version 1.2, Kevo features auto-calibration that automatically enables this technology and adjusts Kevo continuously for the best security. Previous versions of Kevo required users to activate the positioning technology by manually calibrating the device.

As of version 1.2, all Kevo devices (including Key Fobs) will automatically calibrate and have Inside/Outside technology enabled. Auto-calibration requires Lock Software version 1.2 or greater. We highly recommend upgrading to the latest mobile app and lock software version to ensure the best experience.

New All-Day Scheduled eKeys

All-day scheduled eKeys allow users to send repeating, 24-hour keyless entry access to the home, in addition to setting time constraints for eKeys as released in a previous app update. For example, users can send an All-Day Scheduled eKey to a nanny who needs access to the home every Saturday and Sunday.

Compatibility Update

Kevo is compatible with smartphones that support Bluetooth Smart Ready/Bluetooth 4.0 hardware and have an available Kevo mobile app, which now includes iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. The app is also available for iPhone 4S, 5, 5c and 5s, as well as the fifth generation iPod® touch, third generation or higher iPad® and iPad mini. Currently Android does not fully support Bluetooth Smart Ready/Bluetooth 4.0, which is required for Kevo to operate securely. App development for Android is currently underway. Blackberry and Windows platforms are not supported at this time.
