Source: Lockly FAQKnown issue - the display technology is heat-sensitive. Direct sunlight for 45+ minutes can cause screen failure. It recovers after cooling (20 minutes). Consider door orientation before purchase.
Source: TechHive reviewPIN Genie shuffles the keypad numbers after each use so someone watching cant learn your code by seeing which buttons you press. Produces up to 32^6 unique code possibilities.
Source: Lockly websiteNo, there is no Home Assistant integration for Lockly locks. The WiFi hub doesnt provide local API access. Consider Eufy or Yale locks for HA compatibility.
Source: HA CommunityYes, but only newer models with Matter support (check serial number for N designation). Requires Secure Link WiFi Hub with Matter. Older models do not support HomeKit.
