John, this video will truly help new users, great job! I've had Hubitat and 3 of these locks since March, and it was BRUTAL in the beginning, the frustration these locks caused me and other users until we discovered the Aeotec 6 addition, Many don't think this is necessary as the locks didn't have this issue on my Smartthings or Vera, but unfortunately the Zwave radio in the C-5 hubs put out a weaker signal than the radios in Smartthings, Wink, and Vera, but this is really only noticeable on "Secure" paired devices like Locks/Garage Door openers.
I literally spent over a month straight completely resetting my hub multiple times and rebuilding my zwave network multiple times diagnosing, troubleshooting and fixing this issue. Not being able to pair in place like I could on the other platforms drove me crazy. I have a few recommendations to add for your users to consider (I hope you don't mind, I will delete if it's out of line, just say so)
1. Make sure under your "settings" "zwave details" page up at the top right where it says "secure/join" this is set to "Locks/Garage Doors" and NOT ALL Secure Z-wave (one of my rebuilds I tried this and pairing ALL devices securely INCLUDING the Aeotec Range Extender 6's and it worked so-so for about a day then the same issues arose and actually even had devices completely disappear from the network) After rebuilding back again and back to Locks/Garage Doors all is perfect, and with the Aeotecs I'm able to pair in place over 50ft away outside on a metal building. The Aeotec Range Extender 6's once paired should randomly blink "green" NOT blue (blue is paired securely)
2. Another good tip is during the inclusion of the Schlage Lock, it is a really good idea to have a separate browser tab open to the "logs" page, and make sure the lock completes the configure process, and by make sure I mean WAIT until all 30 lock codes are "fetched" in the logs BEFORE doing anything else on the hub (sometimes this can take a minute or two), sometimes other device traffic can interrupt this process. After it's successful, under your Device Details page the "State Variables" should say "fetch Code: 30" and "codeFetchComplete 1" If it does not then you need to click the "get codes" tab, and re-verify the logs.
3. Last any code (including the 2 default codes) that are programmed into the lock directly, Lock Code Manage will not be able to read or identify those codes, they will appear as ???? on your lock's device page. If you want to use a specific code to trigger a rule machine rule it must be programmed through the Lock Code Manager or the Locks device page NOT the lock itself. I myself deleted the 2 default and programmed all through LCM.
Sorry for the long windedness, but with the literal amount of time I spent on this issue I felt the need (like yourself with this helpful video) in preventing others from experiencing my agony.....Again GREAT JOB!
This was the only video I could find that actually had the right information for pairing my hubitat. Thanks so much!
I have not set anything up yet, but I plan to in the near future. I will be sure to use these tips to make the process smoother. Thanks.
Thank you very much for your videos, they are extremely helpful.
Now with Wink going the subscription route (not to mention the lost the partnership with Chamberlain), I decided to move to Hubitat (today 5/14/2020). Even tough, I consider myself a tech savvy person, this is a brand new territory.
Now that I have been playing and messing around with Hubitat, Indeed, this little machine is way more powerful than Wink. All these features and more detailed controls makes me wonder why I didn't move to Hubitat before.
Anyways, thank you and keep up the good work!
This is the video that saved me from going nuts.... thank you!!
Hi Geo Herrera, glad I could help. Thanks for watching! Cheers
I bought the Aeotech extenders but was still having issues with failed lock code setting. There is a critical piece of info that I believe is required that isn't in your video. I am nowhere near the expertise of you of course but this cured all of my issues. Hubitat or Schlage does not accept code change length commands via the Hubitat hub. So unless you change the code length manually on the lock if you try and add codes longer than the default length of 4 they will always fail. This is not a ZWave mesh strength issue.
Once I changed the code length requirements on the lock manually everything worked perfectly every time.
This will either be useful info for people or if you tell me I have something wrong I will delete my comment to stop the spread of bad info :-)
PS videos are still awesome, thanks.
DIY Smart Home Guy my pleasure. Believe me you have provided infinitely more tips to me so it’s the least I can do!! :-)
WOW! Thank you! This was my problem as well. Thank you for posting this!! NICE!
Too damn complicated. I keep falling in and out of love with Hubitat. Great video as always John. Thanks!
I was the same way since they first arrived. I purchased their first hub as soon as they came out. And than returned it a week later just because I couldn't get a smart bulb to be turned on when I turned on/off a Zooz Z-wave wall switch in a separate fixture. I had actually converted 50% of my SmartThings setup since this passed weekend. The new operating system and the Rule Machine 4.0 are so much better. Don't get me wrong, but Hubitat still needs to grow. But for me, I am about ready to go 100% Hubitat and Unplug my SmartThings for good!
Hubitat is not out of the box usable. But it has a lot of things for total control without the use of cloud. Stick with it, you will enjoy.
What a huge help. Been years since I setup my locks on Wink. You covered ALL the bases! Fantastic video. Oh and for what it's worth I have the new Hubitat C7 and I didn't need range extenders (yet?). ;)
Ok, so at little update. My lock was failing to respond after a few hour break in testing. this was identified as a failure to setup lock codes ("failed"). But this had worked well previously. I deleted all failed jobs and also deleted all previously added users. I then stopped using 8 digit codes and used 4 digit. So at first i used only 4 digit codes. It's only when I went to setup 8 digit user codes that the programing stopped working, 4-digit seems to work ok. So all is well again.... (For now?).
That was your best disguise yet! lol
another tidbit about theese locks you may want to add, if you are still having trouble pairing even with the aeotech extenders you may need to disconnect the lock from the door and bring it to within 5-6 inches of the hub. i had to do that with one of my 4 locks so that i would get status updates from the lock. i have an aeotech withinn 3 feet of the lock but it just wouldnt work to do the initial pairing(actually have 4 aeotech repeaters for theese locks). now that its back in place on the door with the aeotech within reach it works flawlessly
John, please make a video on how to setup a temporary lock code or code that works on certain days and times.
Hi Alfredo Nunez, thanks for the suggestion. I'll see what I can do. Cheers
Great video! I have a Schlage FE599. Do you have a video for that lock? Or are the instructions the same
I don't for that lock, sorry. As an FYI, Schlage Z-wave has/had connectivity issues. I finally replaced mine after having problems on the Wink, Vera, SmartThings, and finally Hubitat. Hubitat also removed it from their compatible products list. I haven't tested a Schlage Z-wave lock in over four years so I can't say if they have improved.
Hello. Excellent and very informative video. I was just wondering if using this wave, can you have the lock unlock on arrival or can you have a wave do this?? Thank you an thank you for your timely response
It is possible with a home automation hub. Check out Hubitat or SmartThings.
@@DIYSmartHomeGuy1 oh ok great , thank you very very much!!!!
No problem. Thanks for stopping by.
Do you have any videos on Virtual Switches? I have the Hubitat C7 using with HomeKit integration. I would like to use vSwitches to get the lock in HomeKit.
I don't - but I'll add it to the list.
I have a new Hubitat C-7 and will be transferring the Schlage from Smartthings. Any info on the C-7 range? Is it still an issue? Can you make a video regarding the differences with the new C-7?
The Hubitat hub is now a model C-7 hub which has the 700 series Z-Wave chip, upgraded from the 500 series in the C-5. When I checked Aeotec and Amazon for the Range Extender 6 that you mentioned, it's now been superceded by the Range Extender 7, which is to support the 7000 series Z-Wave chip. Having said that, would it be accurate to say that we should be getting the Range Extender 7 instead of the 6, if we are starting with Hubitat Hub (C-7) and have Schlage locks? I'm coming from SmartThings (v2 hub). Thanks and love your videos/tutorials!
Hubitat doesn’t link to Schlage any more. It was excluded. Learned this after two days of setting up aeotec repeaters, factory resting, including, excluding, etc. Will have to return Hubitat.
Schlage Z-wave has/had connectivity issues. I finally replaced mine after having problems on the Wink, Vera, SmartThings, and finally Hubitat. Hubitat also removed it from their compatible products list. I haven't tested a Schlage Z-wave lock in over four years so I can't say if they have improved. Cheers.
I just bought new Hubitat C8 and was able to pair my Schlage Z-Wave BE649 first try, without the need for the repeaters.@@DIYSmartHomeGuy1
i just purchased the Aeotec range extender 7 wondering how much difference ?
As always great video. I was able to connect Hubitat to Schlage and it works fine. How do I get Alexa to discover it?
So I need a hub to use my schlage z wave plus?
Yes. Z-wave products need a Z-wave hub.
On the set Code what does code position do
John
Bought The Aeotec extender 7. Came in today. After doing a repair on the Z wave. Do I need to do the following, Yikes if I do.
Reset Z-Wave Radio
Warning! All values will be reset and you will have to exclude and re-add every Z-Wave device.
Type the word "reset" into the text box and click reset
@@DIYSmartHomeGuy1 Thank you Sir. Waiting on the 24 hrs count down. I am having issue with the lock code manager and slowness issue. Hopefully this fix it.
@@DIYSmartHomeGuy1 That solved my issue with lock code manager for pushing data back to the lock.
after i do this can i connect it to HomeKit?
I think so. I didn't cover that and there's more info needed. But, it sound's like it would work.
Does it just mesh with the range extenders, and keep other devices out of the mesh for the lock? I’ve had hell with mine on ST, and am moving to Hubitat.
The range extenders become a normal part of the mesh network (just like any other Z-Wave device). However they are better as repeating signals. I put together an article about Range Extenders that helps clear a lot of the issues up. You can check it out here. bit.ly/301GXft
It does a nice job of breaking down the issues. Cheers
Hey John, qq. In Rule 4.0, how do I know if Schlage lock is locked by using key instead of pin? I am trying to create a rule to do some functionalities, if the door was opened by using the key. Thanks in advance.
@@DIYSmartHomeGuy1 I observed that, in the "events" section of the Schlage lock device, it shows event type as "physical" when i lock or unlock using key. It shows "digital" when I use app to unlock of lock. Trying to figure out how to capture this event type and use it in a variable for rules.
Can you do a video on HSM in Hubitat and adding the Iris 3405-L Keypad to the system? I just started the conversion to Hubitat from Smart Things, so I need some hand holding.
@@DIYSmartHomeGuy1 If you need any ideas, glad to help. Question fo Aeotec AEON LABS Z-WAVE PLUS RANGE EXTENDER. Which Gen did you say would be a good idea to get? Gen5 is sold out on TheSmartestHouse.com
can you set lock codes in the app away. (I.E. I need to give a code to someone right now and I am away then I want it to delete in 2 days ?)
@@DIYSmartHomeGuy1 I've got the range extenders 2 feet from the lock and the hub; On the inclusion side I keep getting a red X. It's been excluded from the wink hub schlage has been reset but no joy here?
Hi, I believe, never automate front door and back door of the house.
Great intro!
I found the first gen Aeotek z-wave extender from my SmartThings setup. I excluded it and than paired it with Hubitat. It comes in as a generic "device". I tried to find the correct device type but could not. What device handler did you set your z-wave extender to?
@@DIYSmartHomeGuy1 . Thank you. I found it and changed it. I also, ran the Z-wave repair in my network after words. Will wait a few days to start on my Zigbee Schlage lock. Now that is another project all together.
this thing is way too complicated. The interface is simply terrible. You shouldn't have to study this for hours to get simple things done. Returning ...
Where do you enter the programming code or do you even need to DO that?? I have 4 Aeotec's in my home and I STILL can't get this beast working - really getting my HATE on for both Hubitat and Schlage! My Eufy back door lock and bell was a PIECE of CAKE to get working.
Sorry, beyond what I put in the video, I'm pretty out of tough with this lock. I hear they are supposed to be better now, but I haven't used a Schlage since this release. Sorry I can't be more help.
