The Yale Assure lock can be set to arm the Ring Alarm system in one of two ways: a. touch any key to lock the door and have the alarm set to away - OR - enter your code to lock the door and have it set Ring Alarm to away. You can have the Yale Lock also turn off the Ring Alarm when you enter your code to unlock the door. At this time, Ring and Yale have not implemented geofencing to unlock the door on a proximity of your phone. I would imaging that is a feature on the upgrade roadmap at some point. While there are other locks that can do this, it would likely require your lock be connected to a hub of some kind that also has bluetooth implemented or be connected to the internet so your phone locaation informaiton can be passed through. There are good and bad points to this feature as some would argue that someone could steal your phone and have ready access to your home without some 2nd validation that its you coming to the door. In that case, it would be just as handy to simply enter your code in the door lock. Others find that feature very handy, especially wiht small children in tote of bags of groceries, etc. Even if you had a voice assistant on your phone doing the request would likely require you vocalize or enter a code to unlock. Almost all alarm systems require a positive alarm shutdown code be entered somewhere along the way to prevent illicit control of the alarm system.
