Kwikset 913 with a Z-Smart Plus is pairing but doesn’t work

Hi @RBoy,

I just did a factory reset, moved the “ Aeotec by Aeon Labs Z-Wave Range Extender/Repeater – Model DSD37-ZWUS“ to be almost right in front of the door; my hub is upstairs in the master-bedroom at least 20ft away.
Unfortunately, same thing. :disappointed:
Any other idea?
Thank you

Too close IMHO. See this topic for details.

Hi @RBoy,

Good morning.
I tried the suggested last night and nothing.
I just bought a new repeater to see.
I will let you know the result.
Thank you

New repeater installed halfway between hub and door lock. Hub moved all the way back in my bedroom upstairs.
Remove door-lock from hub, factory reseted my door-lock, inserted Door-lock again. Repaired my z-wave network, etc
Same thing, the lock doesn’t respond to the app.
I spent so much money so far trying to repair this, that I could have bought a new door lock or another model/brand to try.
I opened to suggestion.
Thank you all.

Could the z-wave plus card be malfunctioning?
Any ideas on what else i could/should check for?

I just noticed in your first post you mentioned the 913. Are you sure that’s compatible with the zwave module? I know the 914 is compatible.

Hi RBoy,

I can’t answer with confidence, but the person that sells these z-wave cards online claims it should work.
Also, if you google about this, you will find a few articles stating the same thing, but personally, now, I have my doubts as well :grimacing:
I’m about to “cut a loss” and buy another lock, maybe the 888 that can be found for a reasonable price online.
This is the only device giving me issues, from all devices that I’ve installed so far in my house. Even the “rigged/adapted” ones are fully functional. :smiley::woozy_face:
If you have any other idea, or other way to check what could be wrong with it, please let me know.
Thank you.

Hi guys,

I just removed the 913 and installed an 916 and problem solved :smiley::+1:t3:
It is not zwave but rather zigbee. It is working great.
Thank you :blush:
