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 "Notifications & Preferences."

    • Navigate to "Caregiver & Member preferences."

  2. Enable Access to Device Menus

    • Under "Access to Hero device menus," tap the on/off switch.

    • An overlay will appear.

  3. Create a Passcode

    • Tap the arrows to create a 4-digit code.

    • Tap the "Add" button to create the menu passcode.

  4. Confirm Changes

    • Tap the "Update" button to confirm any changes.
