Can eWeLink smart lock unlock remotely through internet?

Explanation

Unfortunately, at this stage, eWeLink smart locks should be treated as Bluetooth locks for local use. They can be operated near the lock through Bluetooth, but they cannot be unlocked remotely through the internet because eWeLink does not currently provide a compatible smart lock gateway for these models.

If remote unlock through internet is important, consider an ecosystem that supports a lock gateway, such as TTLock with a compatible gateway, depending on the product model.

Common mistakes

• Assuming every eWeLink device supports remote control because eWeLink switches and plugs are WiFi/cloud devices
• assuming a normal eWeLink gateway can be used for the lock.

Troubleshooting / next steps

• For eWeLink lock remote unlock requirements, confirm before purchasing. If the customer needs remote unlock, recommend a compatible TTLock solution with gateway where suitable.
