How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings, help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.

4.0 out of 5 starsGood.....once you manage to set them up!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 10 December 2019
Like a number of people on here, I had difficulties getting mine set up. I bought two in addition to the one that came with my Yale alarm kit. Initially I was able to pair both, but I could only enable the alarm with them, I was unable to disable. I tried removing them from the system, resetting them, but they then wouldn't even enable the alarm when paired.
I contacted Yale's support and got a call back for help. They advised me to remove the keypads from the app, reset the keypads and then add them back in again. This is what they told me to do, which worked on both keypads;
1 Remove the keypads from the Yale Smart Alarm app
2 Unscrew the keypad and remove the cover.
3 Remove the round battery inside.
4 Whilst holding down number 3 on the keypad, push the battery back in, then reattach the front to the back and tighten the screw.
5 On the keypad press the following;
- Press panic button A
- 0000 (ie zero four times)
- Panic button A
- 7
- Disarm button twice
This should remove it from your system.
6 - you can then go into the Yale app and add the alarm device and put it into learning mode
7 - press and hold for a few seconds buttons 8 & 9 on the keypad together. The app should then find them and ask for the device name.

If any of this doesn't work, leave it a few minutes, then go through the resetting and re-adding again.

Hope this helps someone!

3.0 out of 5 starsOK but could do better
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 18 February 2018
When working this is a great addition to EF alarm system. The last one failed after I tried to change the button cell battery and the battery holder broke off (as other reviewers have mentioned) . I don't know if this is really poor design or if it is a security feature to disintegrate if it is tampered with. Either way it can't be repaired and the keypad needs to be replaced so be careful. As also stated in previous reviews, for some unknown reason the keypad is not supplied with instructions on how to program the disarm code. It will set your alarm but will not disable it. To get the instructions you need to go to the product support pages of the Yale site.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works well if you can change the default pin code.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 17 September 2017
Item Package Quantity: 1Colour Name: WhiteVerified Purchase
I bought this for the EF Telecommunicating Kit and it works well. As noted by other reviewers the instructions are terrible, so when you first set it up you will probably find that you can set the alarm ok, but you won't be able to unset it with the keypad. This is because the keypad pin has a factory default pin of 0000. The control centre doesn't pass it's pin to the keypad so treat the pin here as a completely separate device. So you will need to change the pin on the keypad itself... I found these instructions on a forum which worked for me:

1 Press the ‘A’ key followed by factory default
keypad code ‘0000’.
2 The LED will now flash slowly indicating it is in test
(programming) mode.
3 Press the ‘A’ key followed by the ‘7’ key to set the
keypad into PIN code mode.
4 Press the ‘B’ key and enter new four digit keypad
code followed by the Arm key.
5 Quit test mode by pressing the disarm key twice.
The keypad code and mode setting has been
completed.
• The keypad code is not used by the system, only
the keypad itself. You should not have to use this
code again so make a note of it and keep it in a
safe, secure place.

5.0 out of 5 stars WORST SETUP INSTRUCTIONS KNOWN TO MAN !!! NOT GOOD ENOUGH YALE.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 13 June 2017

WORST SETUP INSTRUCTIONS KNOWN TO MAN !!! NOT GOOD ENOUGH YALE.

I have a degree in Computer Science - honestly, and when you have three different sets of instructions, all saying something different, and none of them work, you have to go to google to sort it. Not good enough !

The real instructions are;

1. Go to your main control panel, and add a device
2. Press 8 + 9 together on the remote key pad (this tells it to talk to the main control panel)
3. Press OK on the main control panel to add the device (give it a name if you want)
4. Press Panic button A on the remote key pad
5. Press 0000 on the remote key pad (this is the default passcode that comes with the remote keypad)
6. Press 7 on the remote key pad
7. Press disarm twice

The instructions that come with the remote keypad say press 8+9 to code it. The back of the remote key pad itself say press 8 to code it, and the main instructions that come with the main alarm, say press 7 to code it .... only one of these was only partially correct,, and miss out steps 1 to 3 above !!

Nightmare to setup, but now all working.

Thanks

Chris

4.0 out of 5 stars set up is not straight-forward!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 27 December 2019
Item Package Quantity: 1Colour Name: WhiteVerified Purchase
I have two of these and the first one was easy to installed (following a reviewer's advice). This one was not so easy as the preset code was not what it was supposed to be, so I wonder if I received a returned item? It would set the alarm but it would not disarm. With the main alarm manual and some research I had to reset the keypad and thankfully, it worked! Once working, it works like a dream.

As a replacement or additional accessory the instructions are not correct in order to sync to existing system.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bought as an additional keypad..
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 11 July 2020
Item Package Quantity: 1Colour Name: WhiteVerified Purchase
Had to reset the unit because I could arm the alarm after installing the keypad, but couldn't disarm it

This may happen if you set it up wrongly. As the pad works with different alarms from yale..

The codes and key combination can be found on Yale website..

All sorted now and works as expected..

4.0 out of 5 stars Exactly as advertised
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 6 June 2019

This was to add an extra to an alarm system - very easy to install (if you follow instructions closely) - only drawback is that there is no way to see the alarm status (armed/disarmed) when someone else with access may have set the system
