About radio wake-up events for ASSA ABLOY Wi-Fi locks

2025-05-07Last updated

In the Synergis™ Appliance Portal, you can select the events that ASSA ABLOY Wi-Fi locks must immediately report to the Synergis™ Cloud Link unit through Wi-Fi radio by configuring the Wake Up events option on each lock.

How it works

Wi-Fi lock data is only synched with the Synergis Cloud Link unit on the default Wi-Fi radio wake-up schedule that occurs every day at 0:00 UTC time. Exceptionally, when a wake-up event occurs, the Wi-Fi radio wakes up so that the event can be synched to the unit right away. Only the wake-up events are synched during this time. All other events and configuration changes are synched on the next scheduled wake-up.
Note:
When cardholders or credentials are configured to expire before the next scheduled wake-up, they can continue to grant access until the next scheduled wake-up.

Use the Wake Up events option on each lock to select the events that wake up the Wi-Fi radio. The default radio wake-up events are Door forced open and Door open too long.

How to help minimize battery usage on Wi-Fi locks

In some installations, locks can have a short battery life because the locks generate many Door open too long events that wake up the Wi-Fi radio. Their battery life can be extended if it’s acceptable to report Door open too long events on the next scheduled or unscheduled radio wake-up. To prolong the battery life, set the Wake Up events option for these locks in the Synergis Appliance Portal to Door forced open only. The Door forced open events wake up the Wi-Fi radio and the Door open too long events are reported on the next wake-up.
