Bold Smart Lock - Bold Connect Module

The Bold Smart Lock with the Bold Connect Module offers users the ability to remotely control and monitor their door lock. The custom home assistant integration is praised for working great, but some users have faced issues with the Connect module needing to be close to the lock, which can be a drawback for those with multiple doors. The geofencing feature has received mixed reviews, with some users experiencing delays in its functionality. Installation of the Bold Smart Lock is described as easy, with the ability to keep existing door handles for a discrete look. The lock functions by pressing a button on the inside, allowing limited time door access. The smartphone app enables proximity unlocking via Bluetooth, with the option to use a pin for entry if needed. A Wi-Fi unit is available for remote access. One common complaint is the lack of official integration with Google Home or Alexa, disappointing users who want to expand their smart home capabilities. The quiet bleep sound of the lock may be hard to hear from outside, and the absence of a visual indicator for locked status is noted. Additionally, some users have found the pin unlock feature to be unreliable. In summary, the Bold Smart Lock with Bold Connect Module offers convenient features like remote access and Bluetooth unlocking, but shortcomings include limited compatibility with major smart home platforms and potential issues with geofencing and pin unlock reliability.
