Before this, worked fine for 2 years on Wink and Wink 2.

I had a similar experience.

Adding Aeotec Range Extenders has made my BE469 and FE599 locks reliable

Last week, I emailed support indicating that my Schlage locks (BE469, FE599) worked intermittently, dropped off the network randomly, and I could never use a lock code to work as a trigger. @bobbyD from Hubitat Support suggested the problem may be a lack of z-wave+ repeaters (most of my line powered devices are z-wave, not z-wave+). He also told me that rather than repeaters being placed close to the device, they would work better if placed close to the hub. So I added three Aeotec Range Exten…

Adding Aeotec Range Extenders has largely resolved the issue. After adding them, both my zwave locks have stayed online with great battery life (120-150 days). They did fall off once - but I think that was for unrelated reasons.
