Love the idea of the Bluetooth door look. Looked around at a few, and felt the Kevo would probably be my best choice. Purchased an extra fob as a just-in-case for the family. Tried everything I could to get the fobs and the phones to calibrate with the system, there was no having it. Yes, they connected, but they wouldn't calibrate. Read all the websites, read other people's websites, went everywhere. Fobs and phones will only work when they're right next to the lock. Not a horrible inconvenience, but still an inconvenience none the less.
Next issue is the fobs: they keep "falling asleep." I have to keep taking something and pressing the button to "wake" them up so they'll work. The lock's a month old, so I'm doubtful that the batteries are going dead, but hey, changing the battery may be my only option to keep from having to put everything down and reset the fob just to get in the door (which pretty much was why I got the lock anyway.)
In all, it's a pretty good novelty, did look into the Kevo Plus, but it's been "sold out" for the last month, so great planning on their part there. It does what it's supposed to do, but others might want to be prepared to put in some work to try to "calibrate." Hope others might have had better luck.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Do you have to have the app running on your smart phone in order to unlock the door?

Do you have to have the app running on your phone every time you open the door, or can you have it in your pocket?
Yes, the app must be running, and yes, if properly calibrated, you can keep the phone in your pocket. The app runs in the background and does not have to be the active app on your phone.
