360° only mode please!

Please create a proper feature request and start collecting votes for it.

However, this is not something easy to add as it would change the fundamentals of how the Smart Lock works:

  1. The Smart Lock senses during the calibration the endpoints for your door/lock. If the full way is less than 720 degrees, it will always drive a shorter way. E.g. on a lock with only 120 degrees, it will only go 120 degrees no matter what the 360/720 setting is saying.

  2. There is a setting for “optimize locking” that allows to reduce the way it drives on both sides of the spectrum by up to 180 degrees. This will permanently shift the measured end points during the calibration and is the proper way to adjust the Smart Lock to the door. The 360/720 setting is just a helper in order to speed up operation and not intended to be used to adjust the Smart Lock to a door.
    I.e. your feature request should probably be to increase the maximum setting for the optimization from 180 degrees to 360 in order to permanently move the full locked position.

  3. After a reboot (e.g. after changing batteries) the Smart Lock will do a position run to the full closed position in order to reposition itself. So from time to time it has to go to the full closed position, otherwise it can not regain its position. If this is not possible on your door because it is too stiff, the Smart Lock can not reposition itself and you will ultimately run in troubles at some point in time. I.e. independent of the setting you choose for the optimization you need to fix a stiff door so that the Smart Lock can at least drive till the full closed end point.
