Hello, we're sorry to hear you're unsatisfied with the BE479. The Schlage Sense uses Bluetooth technology to communicate directly to your phone. You can then program the lock through the app within a 30ft range. If you wish to use the lock remotely, please refer to the BR400 Schlage Sense Wi-Fi Adapter to enable remote connectivity. Please contact us at consumerschlage@allegion.com or 888-805-9837 so we may assist you.
