Hey everyone, I have two routines that lock my two zwave locks if the door they are installed on is closed and the lock has been unlocked for more than 15 minutes. The routines have been working fine for many months, if not years. Sometime recently I began to notice that locks that should have been…

Checkout my post from last week with a similar issue. You apparently need a repeater [image] Locks in Unknown Status Devices & Integrations I have been playing with various models of Zwave SmartLocks (Kwikset). For the most part, they work well. Occasionally, they will go…

Both locks function properly when the lock or unlock command comes from the app. It’s only when they are locked or unlocked manually. If it were a signal issue I’d expect the lock/unlock commands from the app to fail periodically. That’s not the case. Also, moving the hub to within a few feet of the…

It sounds like the issue is communicating status back to the hub, not from the hub to the lock. This was my issue as well. The status wasn’t being correctly sent back to the hub. Since the locks are battery powered, they have one shot at sending in their status. If that is missed, it will be out of …

Here is the full writeup that was given to me with an explaination [image] FAQ: why would I need another beaming repeater if my zwave lock is already close to my hub? FAQ This question comes up a lot. Suppose you have a Z wave lock, but the status doesn’t seem to update …

I forgot to mention, I did change the batteries in both locks a couple of days ago. Both are at 100%. I’m willing to try the repeater. What smart plug did you use?

Aeotec smart plug, but I think any zwave smart plug will work. They pretty much all have repeaters. Once you have it, you can either exclude the lock, include the smart plug, and include the lock. Or just wait for the mesh to repair itself. Check the routing in the IDE to make sure it is going throu…

FAQ: why would I need another beaming repeater if my zwave lock is already close to my hub? Minoston miniplug mmmk, will give the minoston mini a try, thx for the tip I do wonder though, why would this have broken down all of a sudden? It’s been working fine forever and I’ve made no changes …

So I got two Ministon mini plugs. I excluded all zwave devices from my hub. Then I added the two plugs, one by one. That worked fine and in the IDE both devices have a route directly to the hub. Then I added both locks back, which also went fine. Finally I started a zwave repair, which finished almo…

How close are the meanest in plugs to the two locks? To be chosen as the beaming repeater, they need to be within about 10 feet.

One is about 11 feet. The other 14. There is no closer outlet for the lock that has the plug 11 feet away. There is a closer one for the other. I will move it. Do I have to repair again after moving it? Edit: It turns out there is a plug closer than 11 feet. I moved the plug there. Now the route fr…
