Smart Lock Update

I keep attempting to update my Smart Lock and will leave my phone next to the door, but after 15-20 mins the phone is still spinning trying to connect to the Smart Lock and is unable to download the update. What next steps should I take?

Is Bluetooth enabled? Is it connected to any other devices? You may want to reboot the phone, disconnect from any other bluetooth devices and try again. If that fails, maybe also pull the batteries on the lock itself to reboot it and try again?

You could also try another phone/tablet as well.

@millerar1692​ that is fascinating. My guess is that maybe your watch was causing interference or a bottleneck. One wonders if it was just the proximity - since of course you'd have been wearing it while you were working with your phone.

What kind of watch do you have? I can pass this on to our Innovation Lab to test.

@j2739d​ Have you already tried disconnecting any other Bluetooth devices on your phone and trying to install the firmware update? If you have and that did not work, I would also try removing the SimpliSafe app from your device, reinstalling it, and try downloading the firmware update again. When updating the Smart Lock's firmware, we also recommend placing your phone as close to the Smart Lock as you can. 

If none of these proposed solutions help, can you please let me know both of your phones' device model, operating system, and the SimpliSafe app version they are running.

This upgrade lock feature does not work. I was not connected to any of my Bluetooth devices but as a safe measure I made them “forget” the phone. I also restarted the phone and it does not connect via Bluetooth. If the device is managed via the control panel why can’t it just update it directly.

Why do we have to go through all this hoop to get to no solution?

my iOS version is 16.6.1 and I am about to upgrade to iOS 17

@DC999​ What version of the SimpliSafe mobile app are you running? I would make sure it's updated to the latest version before updating the Smart Lock's firmware. It may also help to reset your Smart Lock to its factory settings to see if that allows you to install the latest firmware update.
