  • Troubleshooting Tips

    If you're having trouble setting up or using your Weiser Halo Lock with a smart home platform like Google Home, Alexa, or SmartThings, try the following solutions:  

    Not Able to Connect to Smart Home (Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings)  

    • Check Device Compatibility: Ensure you're not trying to use a Matter-only device, which the Halo Lock may not support.
    • Confirm Lock Is Added in the Weiser App: Your Halo Lock must first be fully set up in the Weiser app before linking to any smart home platform.
    • Restart Both Apps: Close and reopen the Weiser app and the smart home app you're using (Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings). 
    • Reset the Lock: If the lock isn't appearing, try removing it from the Weiser app and re-adding it. 

    Account Linking Issues

    • Double-Check Login Credentials: Make sure you're using the correct Weiser account when prompted to sign in during the linking process. 
    • Reauthorize Connection: Sometimes linking fails silently. Unlink Weiser from the smart home app, then try linking again from scratch. 
    • Use Same Wi-Fi Network: Make sure your phone and your lock are on the same Wi-Fi network during the setup process. 

    General Tips

    • Update All Apps: Ensure Weiser, Google Home, Alexa, and SmartThings apps are up to date. 
    • Restart Your Phone: A quick restart can resolve app syncing or permission errors.
