Smart things unable to add codes to Kwikset zwave lock

It could be possible that the module isn’t responding to the programming requests. Since programming locks is a common issue, if you have a Z-Wave repeater lying around try installing one close to your lock and then try to program the codes. If that also fails, try to exclude, hard reset the lock and pair it again.

FAQ: why would I need another beaming repeater if my zwave lock is already close to my hub?

This question comes up a lot. Suppose you have a Z wave lock, but the status doesn’t seem to update or commands don’t always seem to work. Typically someone in the community will recommend that you add another beaming repeater within 10 feet or so of the lock.

The short answer is that the hub is busy, and it takes some load off of it if you have a separate beaming repeater near your lock. The long answer is in the following thread (this is a clickable link) Also, since I get asked all the time what’s an inexpensive Zwave plus beaming repeater, for the US hub the Minoston miniplug is often on sale for right around $20. It should not require any custom code, it’s just a very simple one socket on/…
