It is not possible to establish a point-to-point WiFi connection between iPhone models 15 and 16 (iOS 18) and the HiFlying HF-LPB100-1 module used by our IoT devices to control Yale locks: https://www.yaleconnecthub.com/en/compatible-products/hub The message displayed on the iPhone WiFi network settings screen when selecting the HF-LPB100-1 module network states 'Unable to connect'. It is important to highlight that all iPhone models and previous OS versions are compatible with this WiFi module (antenna + chipset).

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Plug in the Yale Connect Hub model YALE-4971 (with HF-LPB100-1 module) > The device's WiFi module will start reporting its network.
On an iPhone 15 or 16 -using iOS 18 - display the WiFi network configuration screen and select Yale´s device network (it is named Yale-xxxxxx).
Select the Yale network for the iPhone to connect point-to-point.
An error message will appear: Unable to connect.

Any help from Apple? We have a big investment in inventory with the mentioned WiFi module.

I don’t think there’s much that we can do for you here on DevForums. Our forums here is primarily on APIs, and iOS has no APIs that affect its behaviour at this level.

Thanks. That’s definitely the best path forward.
