FAQ

How much does this driver cost?

This driver is manufacturer sponsored and is provided free of charge.

Do I need a smart bridge?

Yes, you do. The access operations are verified in the Tedee online cloud for optimal security of smart features. An Internet connection is also required to integrate a smart lock with your Control4 installation.

Tedee smart bridge is a soap-sized plug inserted into an electric socket inside your property, up to 2m from the door. It must be in the range of your internet-connected Wi-Fi network.

Is it secure?

Tedee is an AV-Test-certified secure smart home device. Mechanically, it does not affect hardware security in any way. Your digital access is ensured with multiple technologies. All communication is encrypted with a multi-level mechanism, and cloud access is authenticated with asymmetric keys. At the same time, Bluetooth connection uses a secure protocol.

Does it work with my door?

Tedee works with most door locks with European- and Scandinavian-type cylinders. Some measurements need to be verified on outward-opening doors.

Do I need to change my cylinder?

No, if your European-type cylinder works with the emergency feature. In this case – and with Nordic-type door locks – you may use a compatible adapter.

Suppose your European cylinder does not have an emergency feature. In that case, you need to replace it with a compatible model or a dedicated modular cylinder offered by Tedee.

Can I still use a standard key?

Yes, you can. From the outside, your lock can always be used traditionally. On the inside, you can manually lock and unlock the door by rotating Tedee like a thumb turn.
