SALTO access for Android Wear OS smart watches

Issue 2/3 2023 Products & Solutions, Access Control & Identity Management

With the latest SALTO KS app release for Android version 8.7.0, you can activate your Digital Key on your Wear OS smart watch, allowing you to have swifter openings without the need to have your phone with you. You do not need to worry about forgetting your phone at home or even taking it out of your pocket.

To enable this feature, you need to download the SALTO KS app on both your Wear OS watch and Android phone via the Google Play Store, after which it guides you through setting up and activating the digital key on your watch. Once activated, you are ready to use Digital Key on your watch by simply placing the watch against the lock. Also, instead of scrolling through the apps on your watch to use Digital Key, you can add the SALTO KS ‘complication’ to your custom watch face to improve your experience and have quick one-tap access.

Simply place the watch gently against the lock. Should you require, you can always remove Digital Key from your smart watch by navigating to the Digital Key Settings. The SALTO KS app works for all Wear OS versions.

What if you lose your smart watch? Through your SALTO KS app, you can block your digital key at any time. Once you reunite with your watch, you can unblock it yourself.
