Lock Update

This year we set up an internet connection for the lock by the gate to the club to improve the reliability of the locks. It has helped, but we have some app users experiencing difficulties. At times a new key is created that needs to be downloaded to the lock before it can be used. Due to the weak internet connection or lack of solar power, sometimes this is not happening reliably. So we've decided to switch everyone to fob access only, as we need to prioritize the reliability of the system. Once the fob is setup on the lock, it will not require continued connectivity to the internet. Fobs will be distributed to all members who don't have one over the winter via the pickup box in the clubhouse.

We're going to switch the clubhouse back to a combination lock. And we're going to leave the combination lock on the small gate, with the combo posted in the clubhouse. That is meant for anyone having issues to exit the club, and not for regular entry/exit.

If the battery on the lock is low, it will flash red 4 times before opening. Once we get a low battery alert, we will swap with the spare lock. The battery can then be changed while the lock is not on the gate (in case there are any issues with the battery change, which is what happened this summer), and this eliminates the possibility that the battery dies.

We're confident that these steps will eliminate any issues next year. We'll only look to expand the system again if members have a good experience. And if it's still not good, we'll look to change.
