Smart locks offer flexibility and convenience, but improper setup can make them a weak point. Here’s how to secure them the right way.
Choosing the right smart lock
Not all smart locks offer equal protection. Look for models with bank-level encryption, built-in tamper alarms, and compatibility with your broader smart home system. Battery life and local fallback methods (like mechanical keys or keypads) are also critical for reliability.
Setting up two-factor authentication
One of the most overlooked yet important features is 2FA. Without it, your mobile device could become a backdoor for intruders. Always activate 2FA in your Oasira account and require biometric login on your smartphone. One of the most overlooked yet important features is 2FA.
Managing access smartly
Never share your app login. Oasira’s access system lets you generate unique PINs or digital keys for each user — whether it’s a family member or a delivery person. Set expiration times and get notified when codes are used.
Creating emergency backups
In case of outages, every smart lock should have a backup method. Enable offline PIN codes or keep a physical key in a secure lockbox. Oasira recommends configuring low-battery alerts and auto-lock rules.
Monitoring lock activity
Stay informed with logs of every door action. See who unlocked the door and when — with time stamps, access method, and location data. This helps both for everyday safety and in case of incidents.
