So the app can precond 9 out of 10 times.

Can you try what range you get from that key? is it the same range as the normal key?
It's a LOT further than the normal key. But the door lock/unlock uses the normal key signal, and range.

It works from pretty far depending on obstructions and interference. From anywhere in my house into my separate brick garage is fine.
