Smart lock battery is low or dead
Replace the batteries immediately when you see a low battery warning. Most smart locks use AA or AAA batteries and take less than 5 minutes to replace.
Smart locks run on replaceable batteries that last 1-2 years based on how you use the lock. When the battery gets low, you get a warning. Replace it right away -- don't wait for the lock to die completely.
