Ios 10 0 2 Restores Full Functionality To Kevo Smart Lock S Touch To Open Feature

Prior to the public release of iOS 10, Kwikset warned users of its Kevo smart lock that the device would lose some its “touch-to-open” feature due to a bug on Apple’s side. Now, the company has released a statement saying that the issue has been resolved with last week’s iOS 10.0.2 release.

The issue centered around the Bluetooth “peripheral mode” that allowed the Kevo’s “touch-to-open” feature to be activated even when the Kevo app wasn’t open and visible on the phone.

In the interim, Kwikset told users that the Kevo’s “touch-to-open” functionality would skill work as long as the app was open, but with iOS 10.0.2, the full functionality has been restored.

iOS 10.0.2 is available now via the Settings app. Apple is also currently beta testing iOS 10.1. The Kevo smart lock is available for $229.
