Yale Conexis L1 Smarththings Integration

[Boggle32 (Mike)]

Good Evening,

I bought the YALE Conexis L1 about month back. This week I received the Yale zwave Module.

Unfortunately I have spent the last week trying to get smartthings to find the lock using the module but nothing is working. I have seen few people suggesting it is possible. But does nobody have a step by step guide I have tried everything and the instruction with lock seems to suggest it is possible,.

What did you do to try to get ST to recognize the lock sofar?

[Boggle32 (Mike)]

Hi Alexander,

I have

1. Removed batteries
2. insterted the module
3. insterted batteries
4. lock makes sound and lights up
5. I then open the smarthings app search for new thing
6. on lock I click R X 3

I have tried multiple scenarios nothing happens

[arn357 (Alexander Ng)]

Factory reset? Press and hold R and then insert batteries? I don’t own this lock btw, just going by the manual

[Boggle32 (Mike)]

hi tried that to no avail

How close is the lock to your hub? I don’t have a lock but I think they won’t pair if they’re more than one hop away on your z-wave network. As a security measure I think.

hi its like 2 feet or closer

There’s a thread already about this lock, if you post in it you might find someone that’s paired it successfully and can help.

Hi jase001. All I did was put the z wave module in the top of the lock.this must be done with the batteries out.dont ask me why.surpose it’s so it registers the module. then replace the batteries and it lit up the light under the module. Then went in to smartthings.got ready to search.pushed the r button on the lock.then searched for it in the app.from memory it took a couple of goes.cant remember if i also tried looking for it through the the other yale lock which is already on the app.sorry this might sound a bit backwards!i know what I mean thou.

Try a general exclude as your very first step before doing anything else. Particularly since you got the Z wave module separately. Sometimes even a brand-new complete unit arrives from the factory having been paired to a testbed there and needs to be excluded, it’s one of those “can’t hurt, might help” things that usually the first step in troubleshooting.

Hi, I’m new to smartthings and everything it can do I have the Connexis L1 and would like to know which zwave module people here have used as Yale are telling me it’s not available yet

Many
Thanks

I bought a £17.99 module from eBay (Inc delivery).
Factory reset the lock, inserted the z-wave module and searched for available “things” and bingo.
All setup without any problems. I can setup various Smartthings rules to now lock and unlock my door without using the horrendous Conexis app from Yale. (It’s utterly pants )

I didn’t try adding a “Yale Smart Lock” just searched any available item.

For those interested it looks like the Conexis L1 is now zwave cerified and yale have a new module called ‘zwave module 2’ 'have a look here;

Hi All, I’m having the same issue I’ve factory reset both the Hub and the Yale L1 however when press the R button three times the Smartthings application doesn’t recognize it.

I can confirm the following list of equipment:
Samsung Hub V2
Yale L1
Yale Z-Wave module

Any help would be great
