Lock Code Manager

Thanks for the corrections, Mike. My apologies for spreading bad info.

Sooo... If I'm not getting results back from the device, that means I don't have the right connection, not the right driver, need beaming repeaters or the Z-Wave Plus module I added, isn't compatible with Hubitat...

I'm going to post the fingerprint again... Based on my other thread yesterday, it appears the same as other known working devices...

  • deviceType: 3
  • zwaveSecurePairingComplete: true
  • inClusters: 0x5E,0x72,0x5A,0x98,0x73,0x7A
  • deviceId: 566
  • manufacturer: 144

In my second attempt to move from ST to HE I started moving my locks today. I have 2 Schlage Deadbolts and 1 Yale Real Living Level Lock.

I FINALLY got my Schlage locks to work with LCM. My biggest issue there was I wanted 5 digit codes Schlage uses 4. I had to use the keypad to 1st remove all lock codes, 2nd change the lock code digit preference to 5 digits. Both changes MUST be made on the locks keypad NOT via LCM. After that when I use LCM I can add codes to the locks. If I add more than one lock to a code, one job will succeed and one will fail. Rerunning the failed job fixes that. So again FINALLY the Schlage locks are fine. :tada:

EDIT: How could I forget. I had to use a 100 foot patch cable and a power extension cord to bring my HE hub less then 1 foot of my Schlage locks before they would Exclude or Enroll. Literally LESS than 1 FOOT! They would "Exclude" at 5 feet away, but not "Enroll" unless right next to the HE hub (almost touching). The Yale lock enrolled from 10+ feet away FYI.

However I cannot get the Yale lock to send me the codes it has inside the lock (from before HE). I also cannot set new codes (via driver or LCM). I know the Yale lock is already set for 5 digits, I have at least 1 code in it we use (the "master code" for the Yale). I was hoping the driver could "see" that code and any others. Is that possible or do I need to reset the Yale and start all over as well?

Did you ever get to the bottom of this @SuperDupe ?

I've got an older 914 that I bought a Z-Wave Plus chip for and had the exact same issue.

My solution was to purchase a ZigBee chip. That fixed everything. LCM works perfectly now. Fast and never any errors.

I finally gave up and switched out all my locks to the Zigbee radios... They are working great... Not sure what the issue was with the Z-Wave plus radios, but they never did work...

I'm using the default 4 digit pin on our locks, but I too have Schlage and Yale locks all working with HE.

The exclude is done with an already encrypted channel so that can be done from further away. Locks and garage door openers are designed to only connect via a secure connection and to prevent intercepting the join keys the lock greatly reduces its radios power during the join process so no matter the hub you will need to have locks closer to the hub than other Z-Wave devices that can connect in a non secure fashion, I usually take my lock off and bring it to the hub but either works. Best practice is to wipe all user codes from the locks before joining them and using the hub (LCM) to put the codes back on.

The master code cannot be read by LCM. Itโ€™s protect by the lock. Best to factory reset the lock and program the codes from LCM

I have an AUGUST PRO LOCK with the wifi keypad linked to it. I think I may already know the answer to this based on reading the thread BUT I figured I'd ask the community to make sure. With this setup (hub sees AUGUST PRO LOCK just fine) can I use LCM at all with the attached keypad accessory for my lock fingers crossed

The keypad I beleive is Bluetooth, and the lock doesn't support lock codes, so unfortunatly this wont work.

OK, i didn't think so but I said, i better ask. I'm probably going to get another one of these, any issues with having multiple AUGUST Pro locks on 1 HE? I saw a thread saying this could be an issue. Thanks again for responding!!

I'm not aware of any specific zwave issues having multiple of these locks.

OK, that's good enough for me. When I get it and install, I post if there are issues or SING your PRAISES when it all comes together. Thanks and Happy Sunday!

I bought a Alfred DB2 smart lock...is that LCM compatible? I'm searching the community and googling but have yet to find an actual list of locks supported by LCM. Does this one?

With the zwave module and platform release 2.2.0, yes.

Ok, thanks. So when can we expect 2.2?

Hubitat usually doesn't announce platform release dates. But there was a post on the community about 3 weeks ago from someone indicating 2.2.x was with beta testers. So I'm guessing within the next week or two.

Good choice. Just saw your post and was about to suggest you do not to get another August lock.

$300 for my August Gen2 lock. 3 years later the ribbon cable breaks on the accelerometer in the lock because of a poor design and pennies saved on a ribbon cable too short. That allowed it to flex at the point it attaches to the tiny board the accelerometer sits upon.

August support answer was to flip me the bird. Jason Johnson (co-founder and CEO) was all too happy to reply very quickly on Twitter when I had praise for their lock. But he just outright ignored me when I complained that support refused assistance of any kind other that to tell me theyโ€™re sorry I have to buy a new lock.

I understand that warranties must be limited, but $100 a year for that lock definitely wasnโ€™t worth it. And Their unwillingness to even send me the new replacement part or a refurbished lock for a reduced price, or even a used part for that matter so I could fix it myself was the immediate end of my support and praise for them.

I'm already in launch manager trying to get it working. i can see my Alfred lock...but no PIN code i put in is accepted...keeps saying duplicate which isn't true. Driving me nutes....but I will keep pushing through.

Do you mean Lock Code Manager or are you talking about something on the lock itself?

Here's the doc for LCM

Can you open logs in a separate window and do a "Get Code" from the device page? Does that do anything?

Same with "Set Code". Fill in all 3 blanks, and see what the logs show.

If those tests don't work LCM is very unlikely to work either.

When I added my Schlage (transferred from Wink) I didn't do a factory reset on the lock. I just added it to Hubitat. It worked, but I was unable to add codes. I had to do a factory reset and from there on out it worked. Long story longer, maybe do a factory reset on the lock?
