Kevo customers should have already received an email from unikey informing them that they will continue to offer the basic app for free to all users so they can use local Bluetooth control after Kwikset drops support however if you wish to use their cloud services with your gateway device you will need to subscribe to their services for $12USD per year to maintain their cloud services, as well to support their company to keep them supporting this platform that the manufacturer is no longer supporting. | |||
you can also subscribe on the mykevo site. | |||
They did not however offer any way to access the gateway locally or provide any sort of API to free the device from their cloud cloud control. | |||
