How to reset Yale LOCK With Z-Wave from ATT Digital Life?

Devices & Integrations Connected Things
21

As a follow-up, I eventually got it to work. I logged into the API control panel and added/edited a device type.

First, I tried the Z-Wave Lock and the Lock Capability device types that are included. Then I tried the one from michmerr (see this thread Yale touchscreen lock device type, and initial dev experience). None of those worked for me. Finally, I added the one from yracine (see this thread: Yale locks - Remotely change codes?). This one worked for me.

I’m new to the whole SmartThings world, so I haven’t dug into the code yet to determine what’s different between the two, but I will soon. But if anyone else gets the Yale lock and gets the status events but can’t control it, try these different device types.

22

Can anyone tell me what to push on the lock itself to get it to talk to the Zwave controller? I’ve got 3 different PDFs about installing/using the lock and none of them mention how to get the Zwave going! The Zwave controller itself says to “push a button” on the device to get it “Included”, but what button is it on the Yale Security YRL-220-ZW-619 lock??

23

To include a Yale lock you have to enter the master PIN, then # 7 # 1 #

I should be in the programming guide under “network module” as “join the network”

24

Got it, thank you! The USB stick saw it, and when I brought it back to my Mac, the software listed the lock as a device we could connect to. But when I tried to actually sync to it from the computer, it wouldn’t connect - I think it may be too far. Will try a repeater maybe?

25

I too am curious if this is on the road-map or if anyone knows of a Mobile or Desktop configuration tool.

I have a Yale Touchscreen Deadbolt that was left behind from the previous owner. They got it with the AT&T Digital Life system. I have tried doing the Mastercode + # + 7 + # but it only brings up the number 3. I can’t access any of the other setting. The Z Wave Module that is in it says ATT on the front. My SmartThings Hub does not see the deadbolt and I cannot exclude it from a previous network. Has anyone had any success with getting an old AT&T Digital Life Yale lock to work? Do you think I need to replace the Module that is currently in it with a new regular Z Wave module?

No go online get the manual and follow https://www.alarmgrid.com/documents/products/yale-yrd220
And folow the reset procedure and then the lock will be ready to install everything will go back to factory settings

The module that comes with the Yale ATT lock is pre-programmed ONLY to ATT Digital Life. You will notice that you the option to add network is not available. You will need to change he module to the standard Yale z-wave and then it will function as norma!

Where can I get one of the z-wave modules? Yale wants $125 for one.

Yes I’m seeing this behavior on at ATT Digital life lock, as well. I performed the factory reset, ran the “exit network” about ten times, but that’s all I can do. I can’t pair it with SmartThings. Time to ebay and buy a normal one.

Has anyone been successful with getting the Yale lock for ATT with smart things without a new module.

32

Has anyone able been able to get the Smart things app to work from AT&T Yale zwake lock.

33

I have. I bought a Z Wave Yale Real Life deadbolt from Amazon off a third party seller. When it came, the box and module showed it was an AT&T Z Wave lock. I did the master # 7 # 1 # and it connected right away as a generic Z Wave Lock, which has only the basic function of locking and unlocking. I am going to work on it tomorrow when I get home to see if I can get ST to pick it up as a Yake lock to see if I can get more functionality.

I wanted to add my findings to this thread if anyone came along needing help getting their Yale locks from Digitial Life to work with SmartThings.

I found if you put the Smartthings hub into “General Exclusion Mode” then try and exit the network (Menu - 7 - 3) on the lock it will work. You may have to do it once or twice, but it worked on the ones I have (AFTER I bought another module).

35

The trick for this lock: Put your ST hub in Z-Wave ‘exclude’ mode, then run the ‘exclude’ on the lock. (master code - #, 7 #, 3 #). Your hub should indicate success. You must do both at the same time.

Then, run ‘add thing’ on your ST hub, then enter the ‘add’ code on the lock. (master code #, 7 #, 1 #) It should then show up in your ST app. That’s what worked for me. I purchased no modules, just used the one marked AT&T.

Yes, but the issue is that these network modules are not really compatible with ST. It will work, but wont show the correct status. i.e you can lock via ST, but at the end of the hour when the lock does the next round of polling, its status will be turned back to “unlocked” even though the lock is locked.

37

Does Yale sell a module that can be replaced so it will work. If so do you
know which one.
Thank you Reggie

I followed the steps by dmorris427. Am a previous digital life user.My DL lock now pairs with ST and shows the correct lock status on the ST App. Alexa also locks/unlocks and identifies the correct lock status with no problem.

Team - We just bought a house with ATT digital life. I have not subscribed to the att plans and don’t intend to. My Yale lock at the garage door is showing offline on my security panel. I changed the batteries with no luck. Does anybody know how I can reconnect the lock to my att system so I can hear the beep when the door opens or closes. I do not have an app to exclude or include. Can someone help a newbie if I need to buy a new controller or there is a way to connect the lock. Thanks so much!!
