I have an ST hub connected to a TP Link Deco M5 mesh router. I have a Yale Assure SL deadbolt on my front door with the zwave module. I also have an automation routine to unlock the front door when my phone returns home.
When I look at the ST app Notifications, I can see the ST hub sensing the arrival of the phone and sending an unlock command to the Yale lock however the Yale lock doesn’t respond. If I send a remote lock/unlock command to the Yale lock through the ST app, the response is inconsistent, sometimes it works most times it doesn’t.
When I had the ST hub connected to a “conventional” Wifi router, the Yale lock would respond with no issues. It’s in the same location as before about 30 feet from my front door.
I have tried running the zwave repair command and I get the following error message:
Network repair for Yale Assure Lock
[04]: Failed to update route
Should I try to move the ST hub closer to the front door? Any other ideas?
Also, the Yale Assure Lock is the only zwave smart device I have in the home so I’m thinking the distance may be the issue if the ST hub is clearly sending the command to the lock that isn’t responding? (The Yale Assure Lock has 95% battery strength.)
