Guidance? Remove Schlage Connect, add Schlage Encode (x2)

🛎️ Get Help
1

Hub C8-Prod, platform: 2.3.9.201. I'd think the Devices and Uninstall tags would be appropriate, but not allowed in "Get Help" section.

I wish to remove an ~11yo Schlage Connect (BE469) and replace it with a Schlage Encode (BE489WB) plus a add second Encode (for another door).

My thoughts are

  1. Record codes in current LCM.
  2. Uninstall LCM from HE.
  3. Uninstall Schlage Connect (BE469) from HE.
  4. physically uninstall old front door lock and install new front door lock.
  5. Install new front door lock in HE (Schlage WiFi driver via HPM).
  6. physically install new garage door lock.
  7. Install new garage door lock in HE.
  8. reinstall LCM.
  9. Add codes to both locks via LCM.

Am I missing anything?
Thanks,

Looks like a solid plan to me. I was going to ask how you planned on adding the Encode, but apparently you found a community driver for that. I was also thinking LCM might let you just keep a code around without being assigned to any device, but it doesn't seem to allow for that. So, that looks like the best option to me.

"Swap Apps Device" would be another if you are adept at removing dead Z-Wave nodes (or could power the lock back on after removal to exclude it normally), but since the above is easy enough, I don't see a reason to risk that. :slight_smile:

Thank you so much for such a quick response!

Yeah, it seems logical, but ... I wanted a second opinion before i tried it. :upside_down_face: Thanks!

I would go one step further. Create a virtual lock and call it temp-lock. Then use device swap to swap it into all your rules. Go ahead and remove lock. After you onboard the new lock, device swap again. That way you don't have to fuss with your rules too much.
