Curtis,

That would be awesome if I could find the requisite parts to convert them to Zigbee. I'd love to give it a shot. Any tips on what keywords to search for? I did a few searches myself and didn't find anything. Do you happen to have a part number or anything that would help me zero in? Thanks for your time and for the suggestion.

Look for:

Kwikset Convert Smart Lock Conversion Kit in Amazon or Ebay. Make sure it is Zigbee. May have to ask the seller.

I too am moving my ST over and my 2 Schlage locks added fine. The Kwikset added initally as a Generic lock but I didn't get any events. I deleted it and every time I re-add it gets found but just sits Initializing on the discovery. It hasn't ever come back as a device. Flawless under ST.

I paired my 914s a few feet from the hub, but they went smoothly each time. Initially they discovered as a Schlage but changing the driver over to the Generic Zwave and hitting Configure made them work without issue.

Thanks for the response. I just posted a new problem so that is getting in the way of resolving the Kwiksete lock, Grrrr.

I have 4 Qwikset locks and they do work well- but not perfect. They are ALL zigbee. I tried Zwave and the Zwave ones were TERRIBLE (Schlage). I consider the Kwikset ones a success and am overall happy with them, but the ONE problem I have is they will occasionally get their state screwed up. We're talking very rarely, but it happens. HE will think they are unlocked when they are locked- and vice versa. If I tell them to lock- HE will by God lock them and HE will get that right even if they were technically already locked. To get them back in sync, FYI, my experience is just pull out the battery module and put it back in. ANyone else with this experience please chime in if you have better advice.

If you’re having troubles with the status sync’ing you may want to look at the Reliable Locks app.

I used the app for a little while before I added an additional repeater (Ring Range Extender Gen2) to stablize the mesh.

I have 3 kwikset (1x914 and 2x916). I also have the zwave, zwave plus, and zigbee modules for all 3 of them.

I've never had sync issue with the zigbee modules. I literally can't think of one time it was the wrong status - maybe it happened and I didn't notice (?).

I'm using the zwave plus module in 1 of them for some testing, haven't seen any sync issues with that one either (but it gets less use).
