Troubleshooting

What Happens If Internet Service Is Unavailable?

Alert unlock requires an internet connection. However, supported Smart Readers and Smart Video Intercoms can continue using Bluetooth-based mobile credentials when internet service is unavailable.

What Happens If My Phone Battery Is Dead?

Your mobile device must have battery power available for mobile credentials to function.

Why Does Tap Not Work?

  1. Confirm Tap mode is enabled for your property.
  2. Verify the myQ Community app is running.
  3. Verify Bluetooth is enabled.
  4. Verify Location Services are enabled and set to Always Allow.
  5. Move closer to the Smart Reader or intercom and try again.

Why Does Alert Not Work?

  1. Confirm Alert mode is enabled for your property.
  2. Verify the myQ Community app is running.
  3. Verify Notifications are enabled.
  4. Verify Bluetooth is enabled.
  5. Verify Location Services are enabled and set to Always Allow.

Why Does the App Require Location Services on iPhone?

The myQ Community app uses Location Services to help iOS wake the app when you approach a supported entry. This allows mobile credentials to function even when iOS places the app in the background.


Additional Support

If mobile credentials still do not work after completing the steps above, contact your property administrator for assistance.
