Smart Lock SDK

Smart Lock SDK for Android encapsulates the APIs to communicate with smart locks over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi and accelerates lock app development. The SDK supports the following features:

• Lock user system: manage lock users and associated passwords
• Unlocking with passwords: get dynamic passwords and manage temporary passwords
• Lock usage records: unlocking records, doorbell records, and alerts

Before you start

The Smart Lock SDK serves your development as an extension of Smart Life App SDK. For more information, see Preparation.
