Alarm does not work when bluetooth pairing is active

I will need more time to evaluate this as I have some concerns. I've used disc brakes on my bike before and really liked the feel. This blocking has some advantages, but they can also be disadvantages. It will pair with your phone's Bluetooth and will mute once paired (you still have to press the button on the lock itself to unlock it). I liked this feature because with other similar locks that aren't Bluetooth, you run the risk of setting off a shrill alarm sound if you don't put the key in the lock properly to open it. In this case, the proximity muffles the sound, allowing you to physically unlock the lock without a key. This advantage is also its disadvantage. My motorcycle is permanently parked just a few steps from my bedroom. So if someone tries to move it while it's still within Bluetooth range, the alarm won't go off. It also seems somewhat insensitive to movement, although the previous one I had was too sensitive! I tried turning on the alarm by manipulating the bike as shown in the video but it didn't work until I pressed the lock. I couldn't turn on the alarm clock. This helped me understand that as long as it was paired with my phone, it didn't raise an alarm. For now I will consider this as a reliable backup theft deterrent.

Pros
  • Works great for me
Cons
  • No instructions
