What is Passage Mode?

Question

How do I keep the lock unlocked? How do I disable auto-lock? How to keep lock in unlock state or position? 
I want to keep the lock open during business hours. 

Answer

Passage mode disables the auto-lock feature for set schedule. For example, if you run a business and want the lock to stay open during business hours, you can schedule the lock to not auto-lock from 8 am to 5 pm on Monday through Friday. 

 

To adjust passage mode, you will need to be near the lock. If the lock is connected to a Sifely Gateway, the passage mode can be adjusted remotely on our webportal. How to log into the Sifely Webportal

 

Note: Passage mode will not unlock the lock at the beginning of the set schedule. If passage mode starts at 8 am, it will stay unlocked if it is unlocked after 8 am unless it is locked manually later or until the end of passage mode.
