There exists an issue in iOS 11 that might leave Kevo app unresponsive to any Bluetooth (BLE) connectivity including TTO, In-Home Lock, and DBU Enrollment.
Performing an app uninstall followed by reinstall results in Bluetooth going into a non-responsive state. As troubleshooting steps often require USERS to reinstall the app, this issue might manifest itself frequently.
While we are waiting for a fix from Apple, if ever a USER uninstalls/reinstalls the Kevo app they should perform one of the following workarounds
1. Power cycle approach:
- Delete the Kevo app
- Restart the iPhone
- Install the Kevo app from the App Store
- Run the Kevo app, login and accept permissions - all Bluetooth functions should operate
2. Restart app approach:
- Delete the Kevo app
- Install the Kevo app from the App Store
- Run the Kevo app, login and accept permissions
- Shut down the app
- Run the Kevo again - all Bluetooth functions should operate
NOTE: We recommend for customers experiencing unresponsiveness of the Kevo app to update to iOS 11.2. We have tested iOS 11.2 and confirmed improvements in Bluetooth functionality.
