SentriKey® iPhone Mobile App Guide

This user guide describes how to install and use the SentriKey® Real Estate App on an iOS device. With this app, you can access a lockbox using your iOS device. It works with all five lockbox versions: GEN I (generation I), GEN II, NXT (next), NXT wireless, and BLE (Bluetooth® low energy; Bluetooth® enabled).

The app delivers a convenient method to instantly ‘communicate’ with the lockbox and has a lot of capability. It allows you to:

• Release the shackle
• Open the lockbox key compartment
• Take ownership of a lockbox
• Assign a lockbox to a property
• View lockbox access logs
• Generate One Day Codes for lockboxes

The app also provides agent safety features. Plus, the app can be integrated with property data tools, such as Homesnap, Realtors Property Resource®, Matrix,  Homespotter, and Remine, so you can easily access all the detailed listing information you need as soon as the lockbox key compartment is opened.

The app works with Bluetooth® wireless technology, which exchanges data securely over short distances (perfect for use with Bluetooth lockboxes).

As a SentriKey® Real Estate user, you’ll be given a SentriLock ID and email, which will include your SentriKey® Real Estate ID. When you click the link in the email, you’ll be prompted to create a Password and PIN.

Your iOS device must be enabled by your Association, and it must use version 9.0 or higher.

Then tap Application and follow the steps to reset your password.

SentriLock takes agent safety very seriously and supports best practices to keep agents safe on the job.

The Enable Agent Safety feature is an automatic safety check for you as an Agent. Your designated emergency contact will be alerted if you don’t respond within a designated period of time after your lockbox’s key compartment has been opened. You can have more than one safety contact. In addition, discuss this feature and the safety protocol with your emergency contacts.

Your designated emergency contact will receive an Agent Safety Notification email or text. The SentriKey® Real Estate lockbox security feature generates this automated notification, which includes your name as the Agent, the lockbox listing location, and the time of the access. This notification will explain that you, the Agent, have not responded to attempts to confirm your safetyꟷthis is why your emergency contact is being notified. Your phone number will be indicated in the notification, as well as a link to the location map of the property.

Emergency contacts should use their best judgment when responding.

SentriConnect® is a mobile app that enables someone to access the key compartment of your lockbox with their iOS device, but without having the SentriKey® Real Estate app on their iOS device. However, you, the listing Agent, must grant permission for someone to use SentriConnect® to access your lockbox. If you’re inviting a user who is not a registered SentriConnect® user, they’ll receive an invitation to register them.

The lockbox must be assigned to a listing in order to grant SentriConnect® access.

SentriConnect® accesses to a lockbox’s key compartment are displayed in the listing Agent’s lockbox access log. This allows secure tracking of lockbox activity.

To authorize someone to access your lockbox, follow these steps:

1. In the app, tap the hamburger menu at the top left of the screen.

2. Tap My Lockboxes.

3. Tap Grant SentriConnect® Access.

4. Tap the lockbox to which you are granting access.

5. Enter the following information for the user:

• Email address
• Start time
• End time

6. Tap Grant Access. Then Tap Done. A confirmation message will appear in your Message Center.  This message can also be used to revoke access when needed.

A One Day Code allows access to the key compartment of one of your lockboxes for a limited period of time, after which the code is no longer valid. This code is ideal for use by out-of-area agents, homeowners, and contractors who need access to a property but are not SentriLock members.

One Day Codes are generated by you (the lockbox owner) in the SentriKey® Real Estate app and assigned by you to a lockbox. When you create a One Day Code, it is active for the rest of that day only. Or, you can make the code active for a full day up to two weeks in advance.

This feature cannot be used if your Association settings do not permit the use of One Day Codes.

To generate a One Day Code, follow these steps:

1. In the app, tap the hamburger menu at the top left of the screen.

2. Tap My Lockboxes.

3. Tap Get One Day Code.

4. Tap the desired lockbox in the list.
