[OBSOLETE] Lock User Management (LUM)

Folks an update on the MSR and lock pairing issues, we’ve been able to replicate the issue and provided ST staff with logs. They acknowledged it and are working on a patch. Big thank you to the ST staff on working through this one. Please see:

As my list of lock users has gotten longer - friends, family, dog sitter etc. I’ve noticed I’m doing a lot of scrolling to find somebody or add a new user. Wondering if there is any chance of altering the design for this app so it would show the users as a simple list on one screen, then you tap a user to go to an additional screen with the details (name, code, user type, custom actions etc). Apologies if this has been asked before or is architecturally not feasible in SmartThings.

Thanks for the feedback, very helpful. We will work on incorporating the changes for future releases.

Android users, just a quick note, if you haven’t upgraded to 2.4.0 please do NOT upgrade to ST Anrdoid 2.4.0. It breaks dynamic pages. Hopefully ST will fix it soon, if you have upgraded please let ST know so they can prioritize fixing it. iOS version is fine.

Hi, 1st post please be gentle. I am a new ST user only just setup an hur ago. i have 5 Blink cameras and installed RBoy’s app and device handler.

I wanted to know if this app/device handler can support the Zipato RFID keypad in anyway?

It supports COMMAND_CLASS_USER_CODE, what that means is that it sends a user code notification when keys are pressed. So now it depends upon what device handler you’re using for it. If it’s processing the user codes properly and reporting it via the required interface (i.e. userCode) it will work just fine.

However, this app is not appropriate for keypad since keypads can’t be “programmed”. You should use this SmartApp with your keypad since the users are fixed and you just need to take actions depending upon which key is pressed. Let me know what device handler you’re using for your keypad and I can check and let you know if it’ll work.

We can follow up on the above thread for your keypad.

Hi guys, great app! I was curious though is it possible to allow a user to enter in multiple “home modes”? So far it only allows to select one but I’ve created several. (Ex, Home, Away, Night, lock down secure, etc.).

Thanks!

Thanks for the follow up.

I use the following Device Handler - https://github.com/inpier/Zipato-RFID/blob/master/Zipato%20RFID%20device%20handler

I only started playing with ityesterday and it registers 9 RFID tags and looks quite cool. By the way you Blink app/DH is awesome so far!

Seems like I change my batteries every 3 weeks :wink:

Once again my lock stopped reporting the user code entry with the app. Changed the batteries again and now works again. I had the same issue 3 weeks ago and did the same thing. Has anyone noticed this?

I am using the universal handler with alarms for my Schlage touch

thanks

Mine last over 6 months. I do have a strong Zwave mesh though with many switches in between the hub and the lock. Maybe that is your issue?

Based on @RBoy’s recommendation, I also switched to lithium AA batteries instead:

Thanks, I will try those batteries

Does your deadbolt move freely?

Great point, something we I paid attention to a few months ago, the deadbolts in house (Schlage on the front and Yale at the back) weren’t super smooth, one had a little locking at the end while the other was scraping along the side, both due to misaligned frames. Batteries used to last 3-4 months depending up on use (down from 6+ on a fresh install, over time the brace got slightly out of alignment causing the scraping), now I can see it going to atleast 6 months after aligning the braces. I had to make a fresh cut into the wood widening the “slot” by 1mm but it made a world of difference in how smooth it operated and the battery life.

thanks all

So I bought a Zooz chime with the intention of using it for the open/close notification. It seems that since there are a few different alert types in the Zooz DH that it needs a specific command to work… Any chance of this being looked into?

Zooz DH: [RELEASE] Zooz Smart Chime

That looks (very) complex, but it sounds like in one of the posts that you can enable a settings in the preferences to Set the switch on Chime sound (Tone). If the DTH is compliant with the ST specs it should just work when the beep function is called by the SmartApp.

Is there an error you’re seeing in Live Logging or the device just isn’t beeping/chiming?

I commented on the release of the DH and made the statement that the standard on/off at the dashboard level does nothing. There’s three options once the item is opened where you can turn it on, chime, or alarm. The alarm trigger works for the monitoring. My completely uneducated guess/assumption is that the smart app triggers the on/off task and the DH is looking for a more specific command. When I try to select the chime in the smart app it doesn’t even let me select it. I put the check mark beside it but it doesn’t hold it.

There are multiple ways to play the 10 chimes using capabilities that are supported by almost all SmartApps, including Smart Home Monitor.

  • Switch capability on command plays chime sound specified in “Switch On Chime Sound” setting.

  • Tone capability beep command plays chime sound specified in “Beep Chime Sound” setting.

  • If you select the device as a dimming switch you can play the 10 chimes using the corresponding dimming levels: 10 plays chime 1, 20 plays chime 2, …, 100 plays chime 10

  • Set “Siren Length” to (0 - Chime) and the Siren strobe, siren, and both commands will play the sound specified in the “Siren Sound” setting as a chime instead of turning on the siren.

No, the SmartApp triggers the beep() method as per the documentation, that’s the only capability supported by a Tone device (chime).

The DH references the following command for beep…

def beep() {
logDebug “Playing Beep Chime (#${beepChimeSoundSetting})”
addPendingSound(“status”, “beep”)
return chimePlayCmds(beepChimeSoundSetting)
}

I’ve tried changing the profiles around. It’ll take on the main screen under “notify on these devices” but wont on the "Ring this chime when the door is opened’

I’ve attached screenshots
