Update 20/07/21: It’s actually possible to integrate using e.g. Tasker or MacroDroid and the Bold Smart Lock on Android. If you enable the “Auto activation” feature for your lock, a notification will show when you are nearby the lock. This notification persists until you close it. It also includes the name of your lock. You can add a “notification interaction” action to MacroDroid, which can be set to click button 1 based on the name of your device (as filter for which notification to interact with). If you have a dedicated Android device, you once need to trigger the notification for each lock you like to interact with. Next you can setup the action. Using the webhook trigger, you can also remotely control the locks without requiring the Connect device (as long as the phone is within Bluetooth range).
Update 05/07/21: The Nest Hello facial recognition seems somewhat unreliable at times. If it misses your face, you get a new attempt ringing the doorbell though. I’ve also ordered a Bluetooth beacon to see if I can use it to trigger access when outside in front of the door. Will keep updating here.
Update 24/06/21: Although it is not (officially) supported, I now managed to connect IFTTT to the gateway and hence can use my Google Assistant to activate the lock (or garage door) 😀 Also if Nest Hello recognizes my face it will auto-unlock the door (not sure yet if that works well in practice). Finally to allow guests in, I can just send them a link using WhatsApp and they no longer need the app 😀
Update 21/06/21: Just ordered 2 more locks to replace overdue cilinders. Loqed is too expensive to replace multiple locks, so let’s see how my life will be with Bold. Our main door remains with key for now, will update when we replace it.
Update 20/06/21: The Bold Connect supposedly can be used to open/close automatic garage doors. I broke away the plastic clip protecting the connector, and connected 2 wires (from a UTP cable) to our Hormann Su
