Sweet Jesus - do the new Schlage drivers make a difference or what?!

I myself haven't been saying Sweet Jesus today on these Schlage Be469 locks..in fact I was beginning to think these locks should be renamed to Scl-Hell666.

I did add 2 extenders after all 3 of my locks dropped off. I decided today to try and re-pair one of the locks.
Tried a long network cable & put HE hub basically on top of the lock installed on the door.

I followed what @waynespringer79 suggested.

  1. Unpair
  2. Factory reset lock--disconnect batteries, hold down Schlage light up keypad, plug batts back in.
  3. Pair to HE.
  4. Delete the 2 factory user codes AT THE LOCK ITSELF
  5. Add codes in LCM.

Initial attempts at these first 2 steps worked...step 3 "Pair to HE" did not work as HE never would discover the lock...tried Z-wave exclude, pair again...no go....kept trying...no go...looked for local exorcist on craig's list...no luck there either.

I then gave up on the long network cable...took HE back to my computer & LAN room & then
removed the Schlage lock from the door. A PITA but I was to the point of going back to Wink just for these locks.
Took lock into my computer room and set it right beside the hub.

Put lock in pairing mode and HE found it immediately but hung up on "initializing" it.

Tried it all again and this time it found "2 locks" which was the same lock with ID 37 I 38 (?)...did z-wave exclude...started discovery again and this time it found the lock again and initialized it properly!! Sweet Jesus!

I took lock back to the door and installed it....a pain yes, but it was working.

Next I deleted the 2 factory user codes AT THE LOCK ITSELF like @waynespringer79 said...

Loaded up LCM and then put in my user code & wife's user code...at this point in time this lock is working perfectly.

I tried a second lock of mine...did all of the above the same way except this time I decided to try deleting the 2 factory user codes in the device settings of the lock rather than at the lock itself...as usual, this lock was displaying the "????" at the code positions 1 & 2 after initial discovery by HE.

By entering code position 1 and pressing "delete code" the first one deleted fine...it took several tries for me to delete the 2nd code at position 2 but it finally deleted it...should have stuck with @waynespringer79 advice to delete factory code AT LOCK ITSELF.

Anyway, I have the 2nd lock up and running fine. Sweet Jesus again!

At this point, I decided that I've had enough religion for the day & wife was tired of me not exactly being politically correct with my language upon trying to pair it initially with the long cable, so I decided to save the 3rd and final lock for another day.

Sure the removal of the locks is a PITA but at least they are working now...can't figure out why HE would not find the locks with the long network cable & hub practically sitting on the lock.
