I'm dealing with an exterior deadbolt that's always in the sun, and its screen isn't bright enough to see the numbers, especially in strong light. I have to use my hand to block the sun just to see what I'm pressing. Are there ways to improve the screen brightness other than returning it to the factory?

I feel you, that can be a hassle! A simple fix is to try a DIY shade or visor above the screen. Just a small piece of plastic or cardboard might do the trick. Or if you want to go minimalistic, you could just put stickers on the numbers instead of relying on the screen lighting. It's not high-tech, but hey, it works!
Hey there! Just to clarify, we're reaching out to get community insights because we've noticed a specific batch of our smart locks has a brightness issue. I completely understand the frustration! If you're looking for some DIY solutions, some users have had success with tinted screen protectors or even making a little shade for the screen. It might not be perfect, but it could really help reduce glare without sending it back. We're hoping to find ways to improve these issues, so any ideas from the community would be appreciated!
Wow, that sounds like a solid approach! I might try that tinted protector idea.
Honestly, if it’s just not working for you, why not consider returning it and looking for a more reliable lock that doesn't have these digital quirks? Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best!
True, a simple mechanical lock might save you the headache!
Stickers? Really? That's your grand solution?
