# Bold Smart Lock

> Bold Smart Lock is a Marketplace integration for Home Assistant. It has 266 installs sharing analytics, needs the vendor's cloud and was last updated October 25, 2026.

Bold Smart Lock connects Bold smart locks and Bold Connect devices to Home Assistant through the vendor's cloud. Each lock gets a lock entity to unlock it, an activity event showing when and how it was activated, and sensors for battery level, battery voltage and signal strength. Unlocking can go through a Bold Connect or directly over Bluetooth when Home Assistant is in range, and a selector lets each lock prefer one method with the other as fallback. Firmware update entities are provided for locks and Bold Connects, and repair notices appear when a lock is out of Bluetooth range or cannot be unlocked from Home Assistant. Locked status is only reported for a Bold Elite or an upgraded Bold Classic, and locks without a Bold Connect report activity only when a phone with the Bold app passes by. Setup happens in the UI with the vendor's sign-in page, and Home Assistant can discover devices on its own.
