Description
The app of the ABUS SmartX™ product series
Some of our classics are now mechatronic.
With our alarm locks, in addition to the high mechanical safety, we set an alarm of up to 100 dB, which has already proven itself in motorcycle safety.
The lock turns your smartphone into a digital key with the help of the app. This enables your smartphone and the lock to interact
and allows for convenient opening and closing of the lock without the need to have your smartphone in your hand. The lock communicates with your smartphone via a secure Bluetooth connection. As soon as you are within a 2-m radius of the lock it can be unlocked.
Another useful function is access authorisation. Access authorisations can be sent to other people via SMS message. These can be managed in the app. Access rights can be granted on a permanent basis or for limited periods. Up to eight additional people can be taught in via the app. The fact that you can manage multiple locks via the app makes it ideal for groups and families. It is also possible to operate several ABUS locks at the same time from one mobile.

Ratings and Reviews
Be careful changing phone
I’ve been using the app without problems for over a year but this Christmas I received a new iPhone. The app transferred across ok so today I cycled 15 miles and went to lock up my bike. The app kept crashing as soon as I launched it. Eventually I decided the only option was to reinstall it. That fixed the crashes but it lost my registration and asked me to rescan the QR code card which was at home. Thankfully I knew where it was and phoned my wife to ask her to text me a photo of the QR code. I then had to open this on my Apple Watch and scan with my phone. Finally, after 40 minutes I was able to lock up my bike again!
Conceptually good but a PITA in practice
I like the concept but the big issue is that I find when I’m in the garage it produces a notification on my phone (and then watch) to say it’s connected every 30s or so. When you’re trying to do something else the endless buzzing drives me crazy. Also had the problem that I’ve locked it and then Bluetooth connects from the bedroom. No idea if it’s unlocked it, still locked etc. It just needs more obvious ability for the user to tweak its functions. Eg time out after connection and options force lock unlock rather than automatic. It maybe does this but the documentation as ever is unclear. Tried to find link to get in touch with the developers. directly but doesn’t seem to be one.
Update to previous review: Now, for months, the app doesn’t work on my iPhone. Clearly an iOS update has broken it and no one has update the app. I’ve written to Abus twice about my paperweight with no response. Steer clear of the lock and the app would be my advice.
Nightmare when changing phones
Just changed to iPhone and the app just keeps crashing as I went to get my bike u locked. Had to hide the battery and walk as in a rush and now late. Will have re-download app and start again but not even sure I can as bike is locked I a basement with little reception. Not happy and about to be charged for missing a class I’m now late for stupid app and clunky lock
