I’ve got a Danalock V125 door lock which is working well when used with it’s own app, however, I would like to connect it to my SmartThings setup but having some issues.
I’ve gone into the IDE and added a new device with the type being Danalock. However, no matter what I do, I can’t get smartthings to connect to it.
I initially tried to pair it using the app and holding down the button for 2 beeps, but it never used to find it. That’s the reason why I ended up going down the route of using the IDE.
You need to have the lock very close (sitting on top of) the hub.
When you pair, it will be recognised as a generic z-wave lock and report the battery level as well.
You don’t need to go into the IDE and assign any DTH to it.
When I originally tried to set mine up, I made the mistake of pairing it when it was installed on the door, and it wasn’t quite right, so I excluded (important) and removed the danalock to place on top of the hub, re-paired and it was fine.
Its been up and working on ST for about 3 months plus, without a problem.
I’ve taken the lock off and put it directly on the hub, however, no matter what I try, when I try and exclude the device via the SmartThings app, I don’t get a prompt to say that the lock has been excluded successfully. Could it be a duff lock? Mega infuriating!
I was doing the exclusion via the app, going to the hub, and general app exclusion under z-wave utilities. When I try and add it in the ‘add things’ option, it never appears, no matter how many beeps I hold it down for. There are definitely no double beeps after holding the button down for two. But there are beeps after holding the button down for three.
Sorry for all the noob-like, questions. Didn’t think I’d have this much of a headache after getting everything else in my house all connected up to SmartThings in half an hour!
