Electronic lock pairing via passcode

A method for providing secure passcode-triggered wireless communication pairing of a mobile device with an electronic lock, the method comprising:

• generating a pairing passcode;
• storing the pairing passcode at an electronic lockset;
• receiving, at a mobile device from a remote device, the pairing passcode;
• presenting, at the mobile device, the pairing passcode;
• receiving, via a keypad of the electronic lockset, user input of the pairing passcode;
• in response to receiving user input of the pairing passcode, transitioning the electronic lockset to a wireless communication pairing mode;
• and
• establishing a wireless communication channel between the mobile device and the electronic lockset when the mobile device is within wireless communication range of the electronic lockset.

A system for providing secure passcode-triggered wireless communication pairing of a mobile device with an electronic lock, the system comprising:

• an electronic lockset comprising:
• a latch assembly including a bolt movable between a locked position and an unlocked position;
• a motor configured to receive actuation commands causing the motor to move the bolt between the locked position and the unlocked position;
• a keypad for receiving a user input;
• a wireless interface configured for wireless communications via one or more communication protocols;
• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory communicatively connected to the at least one processor of the electronic lockset, the memory storing a pairing passcode and instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor of the electronic lockset, cause the electronic lockset to:
• receive, via the keypad, user input of the pairing passcode;
• and
• based on verification of the pairing passcode, enter into a wireless communication pairing mode;
• and
• a mobile device comprising:
• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory communicatively connected to the at least one processor, the memory storing instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor of the mobile device, cause the mobile device to:
• receive, from a remote device, the pairing passcode;
• determine whether the mobile device is within wireless communication range of the electronic lockset;
• determine whether the mobile device is paired with the electronic lockset;
• in response to determining that the mobile device is within wireless communication range of the electronic lockset and determining that the mobile device is not paired with the electronic lockset, present, via a user interface, the pairing passcode;
• and
• establish a wireless communication channel with the electronic lockset when the electronic lockset is in the wireless communication pairing mode.
