Auto-Lock is not working for my Wyze Lock Bolt v2.

Problem

Wyze Lock Bolt v2 is not automatically locking after a certain amount of time has passed.

Note: Wyze Lock Bolt v2 does not have a built-in gyroscope, so it is unable to detect the door’s position. Due to this, the Auto-Lock feature will only trigger based on time.

Troubleshooting

  1. Confirm that the Wyze app is up to date. 

    1. In your Wyze app, navigate to the Account tab > tap About.

    2. Your current app version will be listed beneath the Wyze logo. 

    3. Compare your app version to the latest app version listed on our Release Notes & Firmware page.

    4. If you find that your Wyze app is out of date, head over to your mobile device’s app store and update the Wyze app. 

  1. If possible, check that Wyze Lock Bolt v2’s firmware is up to date. 

    1. You can check this by going to the Account tab > Firmware Update

    2. If there is an update available for the lock, please move forward with updating it. 

  1. Ensure that Bluetooth® is enabled for the Wyze app in the phone/tablet settings. 

    1. Toggle Bluetooth® off/on.

    1. You can check this in the Wyze app by going to the lock’s settings > Device Info > Signal Strength.

    2. If it has 2 bars or less, try moving the router closer to the lock. 

  1. Ensure that the Auto-Lock settings are set correctly.

  1. Verify that there are no Automations set up that could be causing interference.

    1. Navigate to the Home tab of the Wyze app, tap Automations.

    2. Note: We recommend deleting any Automations and then adding them back one by one while testing.
