Hello,

I just bought a new usb wireless lock and installed this application.

it worked for a few minutes then after i tried it on another computer, it started getting out of sync,

i keep receiving notifications in the taskbar every 3 seconds or so, such as :

"authorized keyfob is no longer detected"

followed immediately by

"authorized keyfob has returned"

after a few times it stops blinking like that and either locks up my station or crashes.

i 'm sorry i do not know how to get a debug log, i am considering returning the key to the merchant.

thanks anyway for your work.

I am having the same problem. The fob is blinking really slowly and it keeps detecting and then disappearing. Maybe I should change the batteries.

Check the location of the fob to the usb key. The antenna on each device seem to vary wildly in their reception. I have two and one lock when I turn my back. The other won't lock until I'm 20 feet away. I simply added both keys to both computers. Still, interferance can cause it to lock from time to time as well.

same problem here. however it seems my key is made like it's only transmitting when it blinks. therefore at the computer it detects the key on and off.
a delay would solve this. if it's not detected in say 4 seconds then do stuff....
