Schlage BE469 Camelot Zwave ongoing issues and questions

[aruffell (Alex)]

I have 3 of those locks and they work pretty well.

The DTH I use is:
Z-Wave Schlage Touchscreen Lock

The SmartApp I use is:
Lock Manager by @ethayer

[OBSOLETE] Lock Manager

Lock Manager Incomplete List of features: Manage user codes on locks. Manage Keypads. Review and manage active lock codes. Set lock access based on schedules. Receive notifications when a user used their code. Run Hello Home phrases based on lock/unlock events. Manage Hello Home phrases based on keypad inputs. This app works using 3 child apps and 1 parent app. It is recommended that you install all 4 apps, however if you do not use keypad devices, it is not required to install the keypad child app. Note: If upgrading from any beta version, it is required to uninstall the app completely before installing. The architecture of this app has changed in a way that is incompatible with previous versions. How To Install User guide has old information. There is now only one app to insta…

For auto-locking you might want to look at this:

Hey guys, There’s another thread floating around where I’ve tossed around this SmartApp. There has been enough good feedback that I think it deserves its own thread. Please provide feedback and suggestions. Thanks!! I’ve added a bit of intelligence for failed lock attempt notifications, and retries. I created this a very long time ago, and I’m not a real programmer, so feel free to pick it apart and laugh. -SS

I would not lock the door immediately after closing. These are the settings I use which work pretty well for me:

One reason not to autolock right away is that it uses battery so it would cut down battery usage if you lock the door yourself when entering. When I leave I always press the Schlage button as I like to hear it close (yeah we all know how 100% reliable ST is ). Also it is super annoying to have to key in the code each time you forgot something…

…anyhow I am slowly moving away from individual smartapps in favor of webCore so even though this smartapp has been quite reliable, I plan on replacing it with a piston for further customization!

I believe all your issues and needs will be resolved with the above DTH and smartapps.

EDIT: Corrected link to DTH (I accidentally linked to the old version, not what I was actually using). Would be nice if DTHs had a github link in their comments section… Thanks @jkp for catching the mistake.
