What is the SentriConnect® mobile app? 

• SentriConnect® is a managed access system that allows a SentriLock lockbox owner to grant time-limited access to their lockbox providing accurate and detailed access information to the lockbox owner. SentriConnect® is a free service to its users, providing security and dependability to our SentriLock lockbox subscribers.
• SentriConnect® must be enabled by the listing agent’s Association before it can be used. Plus, it works only on Bluetooth® lockboxes with firmware version 50.44 or higher.  The lockbox must be assigned to a listing in order to grant SentriConnect® access.
• SentriConnect® is a mobile app that enables someone to access the key compartment of your lockbox without having the SentriKey® Real Estate app; however, you - the listing agent - must grant permission for someone to use SentriConnect® to access your lockbox. If you’re inviting a user who is not a registered SentriConnect® user, they’ll receive an invitation to register them.
• SentriConnect® accesses to a lockbox’s key compartment are displayed in the listing Agent’s lockbox access log. This allows secure tracking of lockbox activity.
