Yale AC-KF Sync Keyfob - Sync Alarm Accessory for Disarming Alarm, Black, 200m range [Energy Class A+]

Packaging:The fob arrived quickly, was very well packaged, and appeared to be a genuine Yale product right out of the box.Design:Compact and practical keyfob that fits easily on a keyring; looks and feels like a genuine Yale accessory. It features a lock button intended to prevent accidental activation or deactivation of the alarm, but I’ve found this lock button itself is quite easy to trigger accidentally, especially when the fob is in a pocket or bag.Functionality:Works well for arming and disarming the alarm, with an impressive range (easily over 100m, not tested at full 200m). Occasionally requires a double-click to lock or unlock, but otherwise reliable. If you forget to use the lock button, or if it gets pressed by mistake, it’s possible to trigger the alarm or disarm it unintentionally.Set Up:Very easy to set up-just a few clicks in the Yale Home app and it was ready to use within minutes. Straightforward instructions and quick pairing.Overall:A genuine, easy-to-use accessory that adds a lot of convenience to the Yale Sync alarm system. The lock button is a useful feature, but because it’s easy to trigger, you need to be mindful of accidental presses. Minor issue with needing to double-click sometimes, but not a dealbreaker. Highly recommended for Yale Sync users.

Great value

From experience these can be a little flimsy hence me buying this replacement however they do work well but don’t take kindly to being in your trouser pocket with other items such as keys, coins etc.

Poor design, unless you use the lock switch every time you use it, I guarantee you set the alarm by accident by sitting/crouching/general moving about. Not very robust either, micro switch in one of mine fell off, disappointing for an expensive remote

Good

I am on my third fob from Yale, under warranty, still they don't work 100% of the time.1: you can't see any of the graphics on the rubber membrane to easily identify Arm, Disarm or Part Arm2: operation very flakes, if and when it is working you press a button and you get a blue flash of light followed by a greenone. I have worked out ( not documented anywhere or even anyone from Yale Tech can tell me how the fob is meant tooperate) that this green flash is acknowledgement that the operation is accepted by the control box. No one can confirmthis from Yale no matter how many times I ring them.3: most of the time you turn the fob on and press the Arm button (we'll within range ) and the fob just sits there flashingblue till it gives up and goes off, not having actually set the alarm. You press it a second time and the setting beeps fromthe box start, followed by the set "chirp" from the bell box. Sometimes you might get a green light but mostly stays blueand goes out. The thing is you don't move or change anything and the fob carries on functioning, until you return and tryto unset the alarm and the fob won't do anything even unlocked then all of a sudden turned off and back on and it works.4: some of the door/window contacts seem to eat batteries, I have one on my shed door I'm always changing the 2032battery it keeps flagging up battery is low. It hardly ever gets opened, new batteries, different brands, nothing makes any difference. But the fob seems to eat batteries whether you turn it off or not . Very poor design and very poor backup when the "Tech" don't even know how it is supposed to operate.If Yale ever read this and know any different then leave a comment and I will get in touch but some how I doubt it.difference.

The key fob works perfectly.The only issue I had was pairing the fob with the alarm system as the instructions supplied with the alarm system did not quite match up with the alarm system screen text when going through the pairing process.

You can't go wrong with Yale quality but the design is not the best with the raised set button
