Hi there,

due to the final release and delivery start of the first really smart lock “Bold” from Netherlands you (or other smart guys) definitely need to provide a app for this to make it even smarter 🙂

> **[Bold Smart Lock-keyless security Safe and secure](https://boldsmartlock.com/en/)**
>
> The Bold Smart Lock is a unique and innovative key-less cylinder lock for your door. From now on you will never need a key to enter your house

Here are the key facts

Communication works via Bluetooth 4.0 or higher and - for heavens sake - the provide an API (HTTP REST API, available on request)

Hopefully someone can build a app for this very smart lock!

I was also looking for this lock, but I think that homey is to far a way from my door to use bluetooth.

The rest API will only work when Bold lock releases it’s hub, so that there will be a link between Bluetooth lock and local network.

I might be playing around with this lock in the near future…

Someone tried this app?

I just installed it and it seems to not working. Is the bridge mandatory ?  
I see “BLE Bluethooth support” in the last changelogs of the app. It means Homey should be able to directly connect to the smartlock.

No community forum associated ☹

Thanks.

This is an App for “HomeAssistant” not for Homey.

For Homey, you need this:
