Sounds like your ST server account was having issues, the fact that it took a couple of tries to save the settings is the prime indicator that it’s a server error. Once data is saved it’s all in the cloud and the app does not modify it, that seems to indicate data corruption on your account (not the first time on SmartThings, it’s happened before).
Another user also posted another thread about some random ST server errors with their SmartApp. Keep on eye on it. If the data continues to have issues you may want to contact ST support investigate why your account has data consistency issues.
I have got the app and using the rboy device handler with my Yale Conexsis L1. I have a routine where the hall light comes on when the door is unlocked, which works when manually unlocked or via my phone as I arrive home. It does not work with the rfid tags and no lock activity is reported in the smart hub when using them.
I will admit to being very new to SmartThings and wondered if there was a step by step,guide for configuring the app and device handler so I can get rfid reporting working correctly.
Many thanks

Some of the locks don’t transmit RFID data over Z-Wave, if you aren’t seeing any activity over the logs when using the RFID tags then your lock isn’t transmitting that information over Z-Wave.

However, this Lock Code User Management SmartApp is now completely functional with the new stock Device Handler thanks to the patches and upgrades incorporated by ST into the Z-Wave and ZigBee handlers.
Quick question - on the delay action setting in the door lock app. I saw a comment earlier in the thread from a few years back about anything above 20secs would cause issues. Is this still the case or can I set it 10 mins. and this will work?
also is the delay going to wait and to execute and check the do not do list of presence sensors?

It should be okay now. No reports of any issues yet. It will check the sensor state before taking action, we did take into account while designing the delayed actions features.
thanks for quick response. I noticed when the delay action is set in the ST app notifications section the messages thread for the locking of the door itself if delay is configured does not show up, but the activity feed displays the lock command with user x right away. I assume that when the delay time is up the message thread will display the message of the door lock and any routines that are configured?
reason I am asking is if I forgot something and go back in and use the keypad to unlock those messages show up right away and presumably cancels the delay timer on the door lock keypad actions that follow the delay. ---- I can confirm it does not cancel the delay actions they will run 10 minutes after the first keypad lock action. If this is not how it supposed to work where do we report this as a bug and what info do you need from me?
I have tested this Door lock app and the Universal Device Handler with a Schlage lock with good performance.
Took a few tries but eventually paired a brand-new Kwikset 910 Traditional keypad lock, and it is using the same device handler. Then, I logged into the IDE console to check if the hub and Kwikset are talking to eachother. So far so good.
One question I have is, I am noticing fewer features on the ST app controls for the Kwikset 910 lock compared to the Schlage. I see Lock, Unlock, Auto-lock on/off, Battery %, and Audio on/off. Is this all I can expect to use or is there anything missing, e.g. Code Entry on/off, Forced/Tamper modes?
@RBoy or @maddie: Now that all features are compatible with the stock SmartThing Z-Wave Lock, would you recommend I change my Yale Assure locks away from the Universal Enhanced Z-Wave Lock to the stock Z-Wave lock DTH?
Thanks!

You can definitely use the new stock device handler.
Do keep in mind that the enhanced handler has some additional features like alarms, one touch locking, auto lock, tamper etc which doesn’t exist with the stock handler.
Also new locks like August Pro, Danalock v3, RFID locks etc aren’t completely supported by the stock device handler.
The biggest advantage of the stock handler is local processing.
I started using your door lock code/lock user management app last week after using Eric Thayer’s Lock Manager. Both apps work great, but I just noticed I’m no longer getting text alerts on lock unlocking. Are text alerts a feature of your app, or EThayer’s, or both? I see the Notifications on the SmartThings notification page, but no more texts are coming in.
This morning I replaced the old dollar-store batteries with fresh Duracells on the Kwikset lock.After performing several refreshes, closing and reopening the ST app, something is not syncing with the RBoy app. So both the app and the hub dashboard are showing the battery power stuck at 30% instead of 100%.
Suggestions?

Yes it works fine. This also supports texting multiple recipients (see instructions in app). Depends on how you’ve setup texts in SmartThings, if you’re using the address book feature or just entering the number directly. Either way try to use the E164 standard e.g. +15551235678 while saving your phone numbers otherwise ST tends to ignore them and not deliver it
how does one go about submitting bugs? line 1322, ‘def msg="…’ needs to be moved up ~6 lines, to be outside the if/then scope, otherwise sendNotifications(msg) on line 1371 (which is outside the if/then scope) is a null-text notification. Let me know if there’s a better way to send this info.
