[OBSOLETE] “Home on Code Unlock Too"

So, I’ve been trying this app for the last couple of days but I’m not being succesful.

I’m a little confused about the purpose of the Code List. What am I supposed to put in the code itself? the Slot location or the code that the person uses to open the door (the 6 to 8 digit code)?

I have tried both, adding while there are no codes in the Schalge touchscreen lock, adding them manually after adding them to the app, adding them to the app after reseting the codes in the lock. I have also tried to add the slot number instead of the door opening code…The result is always the same: The codes stop working and the door doesn’t open.

Any idea?

That is correct. At least that is what I used (succesfully) when I first installed my Schlage lock. I just tried to add new codes via the app and it no longer works. In fact, the existing codes disappeared and I had to manually reprogram the lock. Once I did physically (using the same codes I used in the app) add the codes, the app would report back to me who unlocked the door depending on which code was used.

is it possible to have instances of this both controlling the same locks or will this create an issue…
I use presence sensors to unlock open garage etc.

I want to use this app to set codes for neighbors or if kids come home with normal code to unlock and disarm.

I want another instance on the same locks with no disarm etc. just to notify me when the lock is manually unlocked.

The app can do all this but can there be two instances both on the same set of locks. thanks

Anybody use this code to change modes from Away to Home get it to work with the new Smart Home Monitor. It doesn’t seem to change the mode quick enough on unlock and I get an intruder alert.

Nope, there’s no delay in SHM so it’s essentially useless until it gets a delay. Use SmartAlarm by @geko instead.

I use Home on Code Unlock with that and it works very nicely.

Same problem for now in tell.people O give out code to …to wait 5 secs before opening door. That gives it time to disarm.

Hi @storageanarchy & @hdonis

I can also confirm that this is indeed an issue. Any code starting with a leading 0 ie. 0555 becomes 555.

After reading through the entire thread I could not see a) that this was answered or b) addressed anywhere.

Thanks

This smartapp appears to be perfect for my application with one tweak…Is it possible to only change mode when the selected pin is entered? If I understand correctly, the smartapp combines code entry and lock or manual entry. Is this change possible in the code?

I use this device type with my quickset locks… all this functionality is built in, including running a routine.

Most locks have an issue with leading 0

The locks themselves have no issue with leading zeroes. To the lock, a zero is just one of ten available button presses. The issue is in the program you’re using to control the lock.

This occurs all the time in Excel and other systems.
Either the number field has to be specified to display a certain quantity of digits, or the field type has to be changed to Text.

Hope that helps.
