Product features

The purpose of the radio communications module is to provide the Yale lock system the

ability to communicate with users’ mobile phones over Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE).

The basic premise of the radio module is to abstract the specifics of the radio protocol

so that the users can choose the suitable module to integrate the lock to the rest of their

home security system. Modules supporting industry standard protocols such as Z-wave

and Zigbee are separately available.

Software Description

The radio module firmware, contained in the device’s flash memory, contains the

following components:

1. Bluetooth Low Energy stack

The stack provides the underlying interfaces to establish radio communications

with the users’ mobile phones over BLE.

2. Application firmware

a. Implements a manufacturer specific data transfer protocol to communicate

with the microcontroller in the Yale lock.

b. Translates messages between the application running on the users’

mobile phones and the lock, effectively providing the interface for the

users to realize the functionality of the lock, such as locking and unlocking

the door, seeing the current status of the lock and managing the users’

access to the lock.

c. Stores configuration parameters and usage logs

d. implements over-the-air firmware update
