Tried removing and adding several times, looks like its working (at least I got the green light on the lock) report back soon
Success!!! At least I am able to lock/unlock from HE. Will try the codes soon. Thanks for the help.

I am considering the exact same lock in a new house build so I wanted to know how did you go in the end? All good?
I have 4 of these. They work great. Much better than the z-wave verse that I had prior. Super reliable.

Did you do anything special or just wait it out? HE finds it, but doesn't apply the right driver (or any driver really). Using the latest HE as of today.
edit: actually, the generic zigbee lock driver works.. ish. remote control works, but it seems to just lock itself automatically if you let it sit for a minute.
Edit2: I guess the auto lock is independent of the hub, it did it while not connected.

So far the only issue I'm having with mine is it can take a few seconds for the lock to actuate after I tell it to lock or unlock. Does the zigbee variant do this as well, or are they all like that? I haven't had any issues with disconnection or anything like that, its locks and unlocks on command every single time, though there's also a z-wave light switch (repeater) on the adjoining wall next to the door.
HE isn't able to provision codes to it though, I'm not sure if that is the lock's fault or perhaps I did something wrong somewhere, or if you just plain can't do that from a smart hub. I have the Z-Wave Plus S2 variant of this lock.
This slight delay is because the lock isn't awake all the time. It goes to sleep and wakes every so often to "check-in" if there are any messages for it. That's why z-wave locks require a "beaming repeater" to be in close proximity. These repeaters repeat the message over and over until it is received by the lock. This allows the locks to have much better battery life than they would have otherwise.

Does zigbee do the same then or is it faster in this regard? I.e. is it awake/listening 24/7?
Similar, in the end same effect, they check their parent for pending messages...
Ah ok. Still not able to set any codes via hubitat though, but I haven't spent a lot of effort troubleshooting it yet; too busy trying to figure out how to integrate a camera system with hubitat, if such a thing is possible.
Great integration with Blue Iris. I use my Blue Iris Cameras to trigger a lot of things in Hubitat. Cancel delayed action based on Change in Rule Truth
I have the Zigbee version and an older non-plus Zwave Lock. Lock Code Manager is setting codes on both locks.
I love this freaking lock. I threw out my August due to constant Z-Wave issues and lag - even with a beaming repeater - and couldn't be happier! Instant status reports, almost instant lock/unlock. Good job Schlage!
Hmm...that only runs on windows doesn't it? Does it complain if it's inside of a hypervisor? Really want to avoid having desktops running 24/7 as they're noisy, and less energy efficient to have multiple of them vs just two VMware hosts in my laundry room. Still need to pick out some cameras too, just trying to have it all planned out before doing so.
Hubitat's strength is that it runs local, there are other hubs available that run on the cloud. Camera systems are similar, for people who chose local opposed to cloud, Blue Iris is the software used. I wouldn't even know what competes with it. I run two HD cameras and I don't need a dedicated computer, just a windows computer running 24/7, put in a 3GB WD Purple drive and I get one month of 24/7 video with a little room to spare. The features and capability of the software is impressive to say the least.
Well, I guess it depends on how you define "the cloud", but this certainly runs entirely within my home network, so you can call it an on-prem cloud. My storage array is also 9TB, fully redundant. Symmetric gig backhaul for those moments that I occasionally decide to view video footage of the house while out and about.
Oh and also 2 hours worth of UPS battery and 4g failover routing in case the bad guys cut the power and fiber 
If all you want to do is store camera video, Blue Iris is not needed, it sounds like you have all the hardware required and then some. I am no computer expert but I knew that I would like my camera software system to:
- Have a server to send live and recorded camera video to my phone or any other computer. Have this remote connection be a simple app that anyone in the family could use.
- Have the cameras trigger on motion that is defined by crossing virtual lines drawn on the cameras field of view, also be able to have this motion sensitivity change during day and night. Basically I wanted these features to eliminate false camera triggers.
- Have the camera triggers:
- Send a trigger to Hubitat Rule Machine to activate anything I want in Hubitat. A simple rule would be that when the camera senses someone walking up to the door, at night, the outside light turns on.
- Send Messages to my phone when the camera triggers and only certain conditions are met (things such as presence, alarm setting, time of day, etc...), be able to easily view the video on my phone once my phone gets the message.
- Have a timeline that makes it easy to view all the video and triggers that have happened and be able to export the video or image clips from my home computer or from my phone.
Blue Iris does this and a lot more. I am by no means computer savvy. I hooked up two POE cameras on a Saturday morning and had all the above functionality by Sunday afternoon. The only reason I chose Blue Iris is from reading a lot on the forums. Never actually seen anyone suggest any other software for what I wanted.
What you described is pretty much what I'm looking to do.
Ahhh, same issue. It connects in 20 seconds, but won't get past the "Found Zigbee Device with id" screen. I can't get it to work... Possibly I got a bunk device?
