You can add a “digital lock” to the device, which will require entering a passcode to access the Hero dispenser menus. Only scheduled dose dispense will be available on the dispenser without any passcode entry.

Important Note: The Hero Smart Dispenser is not intended to be a pill lockbox and does not prevent users from physically accessing medications stored in the device by design.

Setting Up a Digital Lock

  1. Open the Hero App

    • Go to the "More" tab.

    • Select "Settings & Notifications."

    • Navigate to "Enable Passcodes."

    • Select "Create menu access passcode."

  2. Enable Access to Device Menus

    • Under "Create menu access passcode," create a 4-digit passcode

    • The changes will be confirmed automatically on Hero
