Yale never delivered on that promise. In the meantime I&rsquo;ve been relying on Bluetooth and Yale&rsquo;s cloud service (the Yale Access app) to manage the lock, and it&rsquo;s been unreliable and offers very little real control — no local automation hooks, inconsistent status updates, and a dependency on Yale&rsquo;s servers staying up.</p>
