Sesame Setup Struggles

I love the function of my Sesame, it helps me control access of a remote building that I own. Getting real time notifications of access is fantastic as I'm storing some expensive vehicles in the building. If you have a dual band WIFI router, there are several extra steps required and you need to set up a dedicated 2.4GHz channel that may cause extra re-configuration of other smart home devices or phones. Our iPhone and OnePlus connected easily and quickly but my Pixel stubbornly refused for a few days until it finally capitulated and joined the family. Patience will be rewarded.

Very good

Remote Access works great!!

Plug it in, set it up, pair it up, verify proper operation. Works great!! Very good communication and customer service with the Candy House team too. Highly recommend!!

Works well

Works well and easy to install.

One of the best purchases

Easy to install and use.

remote manage Sesame door lock from anywhere in the world

I bought this WIFI Access Port for allowing me to remote lock/unlock, monitoring, temporary grant access from anywhere in the world. The package was shipped very fast within 2 days to Thailand, very incredible. It's easy to set up, working well with Sesame door lock without flaws. Thanks for greats product.

So glad to hear you're enjoying Sesame and the Wi-Fi Access Point! Appreciate the kind review and please let us know if you have any further questions!

SUPER SIMPLE TO INSTALL BUT...

Pros:
1.Easy to just put onto a deadbolt, and configure with your app
2. What you would expect with a smart lock with remote access and control, makes your life easier
3. Love that you can see the battery % remaining
4. LOVE that they thought about the USB dongle to just be that! A USB dongle where you can just plug it at the back of your internet router or a device with a USB plug that's always on instead of buying an adapter (Like the AUGUST smart lock which I own)

Cons:
1. You need the person's email to give guests access (understand it's for safety. But how about mobile number too)
2. The menu interface was a bit confusing at first. Maybe the STATUS part should put a small OPTIONS below it to assist? Cause I was trying to find how to put guests in the left side tab instead..
3. Takes a bit long to connect remotely, like my max was 20 seconds with good signal..

But overall a super good, and easy to install smart lock if you don't want to replace your existing deadbolt (the issue with August is that you don't know if it's going to fit due to the internals of the lock, I had doors that didn't fit the August smart lock and had to place luckily at my other Main door..)

Thanks for the kind review and feedback on where we can improve! We definitely want to work on expanding the number of methods that can be used to invite guests as well as shorten the connection time. These are things we are working on for the next version of Sesame so we appreciate your suggestions. Please feel free to email us at sesame@candyhouse.co if you have any further questions or feedback for us!

Great job awesome product

My only issue it takes a minute for it to connect wifi and Bluetooth but otherwise great product

Thanks for the kind review, much appreciated!

Great product works great

This is great and customer service is amazing you guys are most definitely a customer first company. I use this at work all the time to control the lock

So glad to hear it. Appreciate the kind review!

Great if you're using this lock at a rental property and need to remove your lock and re-apply it.

revised review

Candy House sent me a new sesame with wi-fi module after we had problems with the first one. So far it works as advertised, fingers crossed it'll maintain. It is really convenient when the auto unlock works reliably. Thank you candy house for taking care of our problem.

Wifi

So far verygood fast response

Wi-Fi Access Point

Service ok

I have a problem with one of Wifi Module. The company replace without a problem. Now all work smoothly. Service ok, A+. Thank you.

Ok

Ok.
Connect takes a lot of time.
Auto unlock does not always work.

Thanks for the review! Moving the Wi-Fi Access Point and Sesame closer together can increase the connection speed, and unlocking your screen when you approach your door can also help auto-unlock to be faster. If you provide more specific information about what's not working well to sesame@candyhouse.co, we'd be happy to help troubleshoot!

Wi-FI Access Point x2

Works flawlessly with both Sesames; a sublime system.

Yay, that's awesome to hear! Thanks for the kind words, we're thrilled to hear you're enjoying Sesame and the Wi-Fi Access Point!

Works great

Works just as expected.

Amazing

So good to be able to access the house while I am away. It has already helped with young kids off the bus before I got home or friends arriving before me. I can open the door from anywhere and they can let themselves in. Perfect. Thank you - now to kit the rest of the house out with these locks :)

We're thrilled to hear how Sesame is making a difference in your life! It means the world to us - thanks for the wonderful review. If you have any questions or feedback for us, please let us know at sesame@candyhouse.co so we can help!

Great product with a lot of room to improve

Hi, thanks a lot for your support, so I can buy this smart lock.
I’ve been using it for more than a month and kind of like it, especially how easy to install the product.
I do have some problem when trying to lock remotely (without using bluetooth I mean). It might takes more than a minute till my lock respond what I requested (anyway, I use homebridge-sesame, which send API request to the server). Of course, it will be faster if I use my key instead of opening it using Home App.

I think this problem can be solved by opening sesame API to local access (so my raspberry pi can call it directly instead of proxying the request through sesame server). And add a configuration to prioritize sesame lock connection from Wifi adapter, instead of from a smartphone (because I believe, someone who has wifi adapter will be more convenient to use wifi adapter instead of bluetooth connection).

I’m looking forward to your response.
Anyway, thanks a lot for this great product, I love it !

Thanks so much for your review and feedback! It's important to us to continue improving our products and we're sorry to hear about the issues you've encountered with the API. We will be happy to help troubleshoot via email at sesame@candyhouse.co!

Works
