“I have a smart garage door module that lets me see open/closed status AND let's me open/close the door from out of state-connected to my home WiFi network. Does this lock do the same or do I have to buy an additional accessory to do this?”

Remote access is automatically enabled when you set up the Kevo Plus Gateway, as long as the network you are using has an Internet connection. With remote access enabled, you can control your Kevo Smart Lock from anywhere your iOS or Android device has an Internet connection. This includes other Wi-Fi networks or your mobile connection. When the Kevo App is launched outside your home, the App contacts the Kevo cloud, where it redirects the phone's request to the appropriate Kevo lock, and then you can see and control your Kevo Smart Lock. Please contact or visit your local Best Buy special order counter for available options, pricing, and shipping.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It’s a Bluetooth connected smart lock. WiFi has nothing to do with the functionality of this lock. You just need to connect it to your smart phone and keep your phone with you when you approach your door to re-enter.

If someone locks the door with a key, then I unlock it with my phone/hand, the system isn't really sure what state the lock is in until you lock it again. Maybe this is a ME thing, but I feel as though it's across the board. A pretty cool feature will tell you WHO opened the door and at what time. This is great when a security camera is on that locked door for matching time stamps. Everyone can have their own email setup on the app, and you can grant privilege to whoever. Certain times... Even guest modes. If someone is staying over and is heading out, they tap the lock a few times (I think 3) and it'll lock. They can't get back in without you, but whatever. Additionally an autolock feature can be turned on where after x amount of seconds, autolock. Simple. My apology for the over-explanation of this product.
