Enable HomeKit Compatibility for Your Yale Assure Lock. Control your Yale Assure Lock from your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch by integrating it into your Apple HomeKit system with the Apple iM1 HomeKit Module (lock sold separately).
This simple add-on module plugs into the lock in the same compartment as the batteries. By enabling HomeKit compatibility, it provides compatibility with Apple's Home app, adding smart, wireless capabilities for your lock, such as locking/unlocking via the Home App on your iOS device, commanding the lock by talking to Siri, or managing the lock through your Apple TV.
