    Place the code (Mac Address) in the frame as indicated in the instructions on the phone.

    Scan barcode to add a lock to the app

    If the lighting is bad or the barcode is not very clearly visible, you can use the flash. Click on the “Flash” button to control the flash. After successful scanning of the code, proceed to device search.

    You can also add a device with "search device" or "Enter MAC address" options.

    Your mac address can be found on a device, near the bar code.

    Enter code to add the lock

    The search is carried out among devices that are nearby by MAC address. If you cannot find or connect to the device, it may already be connected to another user (only one user can connect to the lock because of bluetooth limitation), has a low charge level, or you are out of bluetooth range. If the device is not found, retry the search by clicking the "Try again" button.

    If the lock was found, it is necessary to give it a name for further identification. To do this, enter the name for this lock in the window that appeared on the screen and click "Confirm" to confirm. 

    Congratulations, you have added a device
