I have a couple locks in SmartThings. I’m stating to move over my devices to Hubitat. So far I’ve moved over a motion Sensor and a few lights. I do quite a few automations related to my door locks on SmartThings so I’m hesitant to move over until I know what my capabilities are.
Like can I change codes?
Can I add/remove coded on a schedule? Maybe with RM or WebCoRE? Or just with the defaults?
Can I change device settings like one touch lock, alarm sensitivity, etc. ?
Im in the same boat with a Yale YRD256 ZWave deadbolt. That is one of only a few things I still have in ST. Sucks because it is tied to my front door zwave contact sensor, so I can't move the front door sensor over until I can move the deadbolt over.
Don’t quote me because I do not have a supported lock. Mine is a Yale and not listed in the supported device Wiki HERE. Schlage and Kwikset however are listed. My understanding from others is that they can be used, but do not support remotely modifying the codes. Big deal for many because it is sometimes necessary to give temp codes to house cleaners, visitors or renters.
I asked a similar question on a different thread a couple weeks ago and got no reply. So far I have only been able to get basic functions on my Schlage BE469. I have not bee able to change codes, check codes, or do anything but lock and unlock the lock.
I would actually consider getting this device, if I could use it to change the codes on a Schlage lock over the internet, as well as through a local network without internet access. If support for this can be added, I would very much like to get this device.
I can probably do this with OpenHab, but it is not very user friendly for the intended use.
The Schlage stuff was added quite a long time ago, in fact there is even a dedicated driver.
But Hubitat retracted these locks as being on the supported list, because there were quite a few very vocal people who were having issues with these locks. Rather than giving the impression that Hubitat was recommending these, they just removed them from the list.
I am not saying people weren't having issues with these locks, but it does seem sort of random whether you will get these to work consistently. Personally I have had no issues with my 3 older Schlage BE469 Zwave (not Plus) locks in the 18 months or so I have been on Hubitat.
The least you could do is try your locks and see what happens. I strongly believe that having a very good mesh and lots of good repeaters goes a long way to making these work correctly.
A few days ago I switched from Smartthings to Hubitat and all of my devices are working well, including my Schlage B469 Z-Wave door lock. I'm able to use the device drivers that are built into Hubitat along with an app called "Lock Code Manager" to configure all my lock codes for the Schlage lock. So far, everything has been working as expected.
