Connecting your Weiser smart lock to WiFi typically requires the Weiser Home app and the Weiser Bridge (sometimes called a hub). The lock itself doesn't connect directly to WiFi - it uses Bluetooth to talk to the bridge, which then connects to your home WiFi. Here's the general process:

  1. Install the Weiser Home app on your smartphone
  2. Set up the Weiser Bridge near your lock and plug it into power
  3. Connect the bridge to your WiFi through the app
  4. Add your smart lock to the app using Bluetooth
  5. The bridge will now communicate with your lock and enable remote access

Make sure your bridge is within Bluetooth range of your lock (usually about 30 feet). The exact steps can vary by model, so check your specific lock's manual or the Weiser support site: https://www.weiserlock.com/en/smart/support

I went through this setup recently and learned a few things the hard way! First, make sure you have the correct bridge for your lock model - some older Weiser locks need specific bridges. The connection process can be finicky, so I recommend:

  • Place the bridge halfway between your router and lock for best signal
  • Restart everything if you have connection issues - bridge, phone, router
  • Use 2.4GHz WiFi - most smart home devices don't work with 5GHz networks
  • Keep your phone close to the lock during initial Bluetooth pairing

The app will walk you through most of the process, but be patient - it might take a few tries. Once connected, you can lock/unlock remotely, create access codes for family, and get notifications when someone enters. Pretty cool once it's working!
