There’s no direct integration possible at this time.
You could get a very limited partial integration which would allow you to lock or unlock only (not add new codes or anything like that) by using echo as a “man in the middle.“ But it would be awkward, clunky, A pain to set up, and again only a partial integration.
Basically you would have to set up a second speaker device (typically an android tablet) next to an echo and have the second speaker say the commands so that the echo will respond to those.
Like I said, doable, but clunky and a lot of work.
… asked the same question a couple months back directly to Smartthings…

Hey,
Hope you’re having a nice day so far, thanks for reaching out.
Unfortunately, at this moment in time, the Schlage Encode door lock is not compatible with SmartThings and I can’t really give you an answer on when (or if) this will be compatible in the future. We do have other branded door locks that you’re welcome to take a look at.
It looks like Brilliant figured out a way to incorporate it to their app? Not sure if there’s a way to figure out how. I think I’m just going to run all my routines through Google Home which can include locking the doors of the Encodes
Brilliant is an Amazon partner with Alexa built into the device. So they were able to add Schlage encode integration through the Amazon partnership. SmartThings does not participate in that program at this time.
Brilliant Controls are pretty neat…I wonder if I could use SmartThings through Brilliant to control the locks
I really want to stick with ONE app to control everything and SmartThings has the wife approval already.
Ps- @Smartthings pleeeeease support this if you can. It’s a WiFi based lock. I can’t imagine it would be hard at all to integrate this!!! It’s now a standard lock that is installed with the nation’s largest home builder! They also give you a SmartThings V3 so it would make sense if you could control everything from there!!!
As of 2019 with the new platform, it is now up to the device manufacturer to create the integration for WiFi devices. Smartthings has made it much easier for them, which is why we are seeing so many being added into the new V3 app. But if you want to see this integration your best bet is to ask Schlage to add it.
Damn! I’m needing the same thing to create some lock code integrations for an AirBnb. I hope this gets resolved soon because SmartThings compatibility is the only way it’s going to work.
I know this is an older thread but I just bought a new encode lock. I knew ahead of time it didn’t work with SmartThings but I don’t really know what I would need that for although I guess it’s nice to have everything connected to the same app. The schlage app has scheduling, remote control etc. Plus I have Alexa devices in the house so if it pairs with them the voice control will work fine. With Z-Wave and ZigBee switches That didn’t connect to my echo because mine doesn’t have a hub They would get voice control through smart things with smart things connected to Alexa. The way I see it more and more smart devices like this are going Wi-Fi built in, the only real negative I can see in this situation is too many apps. I figure if my smart thing hub croaks and I decide to go with something else having the lock run via Wi-Fi and Alexa will be good.
I have a frankenstein integration similar to what JD alluded to in his response. I have a SmartThings virtual switch trigger an IFTTT routine which uses a trigger monkey to trigger an Alexa routine to lock and unlock the door. It would be nice if there was SmartThings integration for this lock. The reason I chose this lock was because of the Brilliant integration.
I’d like to revisit this. I already use the Schlage Connect (Zwave) locks. I need to buy another couple of locks. One can be the Connect because I am still in range of the other Zwave devices for the signal. But the other lock is for my detached garage which is too far. However, the garage has a wifi A/P. So I am looking at the Encode.
Can either the Schlage Encode or the Encode Plus be used with SmartThings?
Nope, not directly. There is no cloud->cloud integration for the Schlage Wi-Fi locks. About the only thing you could do is use a virtual lock as a proxy to use something like the Schlage Alexa skill to open/close the lock. You won’t be able to program lock codes on the lock however.
For one of my locations, I use Alexa routines to open/close the lock vs ST since I already use Alexa for location tracking. For my primary location, I just use the Schlage app since it’s a lock on our guesthouse.
From postings in other topics, seems Schlage is working on new models that will support Matter. That could be the reason the Connect is becoming scarce (that and the fact that it’s now a fairly old model). Regardless of whether they use Wi-FI or Thread for the underlying transport, Matter will allow direct integration with ST hubs that support those transports.
Funny you should mention new models. While searching the Encode, I found mention on Reddit that the Encode Plus supports Thread. So does that mean it will likely have Matter?
Well, the Schlage website doesn’t say it has Thread support. Since it’s a Wi-Fi lock, I would think it would be possible (and simpler) to add Matter over Wi-Fi. If it has a Thread radio, then adding Matter for both Thread and Wi-Fi could be possible since Matter is a couple of layers above the radio transport type.
