Step 2: Check iCloud Settings

• iCloud Drive: Activate "iCloud Drive" (Settings > Apple ID > iCloud > iCloud Drive).

Step 3: Enable Two-Factor Authentication

• Ensure Two-Factor Authentication is enabled for your Apple ID. This is required for HomeKit integration with the Encode Plus.
• If enabling Two-Factor Authentication for the first time, you may need to authenticate all devices connected to your Apple ID to complete the setup of your home hub.
• If Two-Step Verification is currently enabled, it must be turned off before activating Two-Factor Authentication.

By pairing the Schlage Encode Plus with Apple HomeKit and enabling two-factor authentication, you can enjoy enhanced security and seamless smart home functionality.
