Schlage Lock with Link Wireless from $69. to 99.00 BestBuy FS
 
2 Attachment(s)
I am not very good at adding pictures and links, but those of you that know these locks, they are phenomenal. In Satin, Brass and Aged bronze. In lever lock type and deadbolt. I have a couple of these locks and really like them. Use wireless or without. Will need a Micas Verdi type wireless, or pay Schlage a small monthly fee for wireless.

This post can and should be edited by users like you :)
 
They've got some great prices on the GE modules, remotes too! All of them $18.99, about half of what they go for on amazon. If I hadn't already gotten all I need from the Radio Shack clearance in 2011 I would be all over this stuff:

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/searc...=ge+z-wave

-------------------
The locks can be used by themselves without the need for the Nexia hub. However, if you want to be able to access the locks (and/or the other z-wave modules) remotely via the internet or mobile app, you will need the Nexia hub ($8.99 monthly fee) or the Vera [micasaverde.com] ($179 to $299) or homeSeer [homeseer.com] controller. Neither the Vera or the Homeseer carry a monthly fee.

What is the fee? What additional items do you need with this? I am confused how is this different or better?

sdmaster07 01-24-2013 05:31 PM

If you go through Schlage Link for wireless service, the name has changed to Nexia. Sometimes, Nexia has promotional offers to sign up or it runs at most 12.99 a month. I have seen it cheaper, but I do not know what they have going on now. Also, any Z wave controller will work with this for no monthly cost, but the Z wave controllers can cost a little bit. I'll try to get more info, or usually someone comes on these deals and knows all about it.

better than what? this is just the lock hardware, no gateway. so you need some sort of zwave controller if you want remote control or scene driving functionality. if you have the schlage setup that means a monthly fee. if you roll your own via micasaverde vera or homeseer, there is no monthly fee. if you dont care about zwave features and just want to use the keyless entry features, you dont need any controller for that.

fwiw i recently saw a thread for one free year of nexia.... not for me but might be helpful for some.

sdmaster07 01-24-2013 05:34 PM

If you look at the Best Buy site, the Schlage locks with the controllers are on sale for an unbelievable $98.99

warrent 01-24-2013 05:35 PM

Just installed a bunch of zwave switches and a controller that I can anywhere with my cell phone. Controller allow was $150 not cheap but worth the investment for what I needed.

Traganoo 01-24-2013 05:36 PM

Got one to go with my vera 2. Got the rest of my zwave goodies when radioshack has its clearance. Love controlling my house with my phone.

Thadius856 01-24-2013 05:42 PM

The normal price for the non-Wifi versions is $129. I just bought two at $88 + tax and thought that was a great deal because they never go on sale.

At $69 marked down from $200, these ones are a S-T-E-A-L.

Wish I had more entries to put these on.

sdmaster07 01-24-2013 05:50 PM

I think he meant wireless.

Rusty2192 01-24-2013 05:54 PM

I had planned on going with the Kwikset one, but with this price, I may just have to go with Schlage. We have Kwikset on all of our other doors, so I could just use the smartkey to keep them matching and I think I like the idea of the motorized bolt better so that you can actually lock and unlock it remotely. But With the $99 kit, I would get the deadbolt and a lamp module, and then maybe sell off the controller on ebay or something.

Either way, cheaper than the traditional keypad versions.

Motorized versions chew threw batteries much faster and can have major problems if your deadbolt isn't lined up perfectly in the jamb. To each their own, though. I just know that you still have to be standing in front of it for it to open, even if you remotely unlock it.

no the bridge is hardwired to your network if you choose to use it, and the lock itself uses zwave. no wifi in any of this gear.

Taltus9 01-24-2013 06:23 PM

Great price picked up two that will link up to my security system.

hightop32 01-24-2013 06:26 PM

here is the thread with the one free year of nexia service, its still working!

code: LNNR-QRMY-VHTT-SNUX

http://slickdeals.net/f/5351970-S...ng-Control

deshwasi 01-24-2013 06:29 PM

never mind. read the pdf and we need the devices in hand to do the setup and enter code. gotta wait.

MrBOFH 01-24-2013 06:31 PM

I have had 2 of each of these for about 1.5 years. Hooked up to a Vera zwave controller. They work like a charm. I love being able to walk the dogs without the need for a key or being able to remotely unlock the door if needed. Or get a notification the door was opened/closed and what code was used. Batteries last a pretty long time.

For those wanting motorized deadbolt, Schlage now has those as well. With zwave support.

If it wasn't for the fact all my outside doors already have these, I would have jumped on this without hesitation.

waltsnider 01-24-2013 06:34 PM

Newb here... I guess a lot of this is assumed, but I'm not in the know...

Link 1 appears to be just the handle,
Link 2 is a deadbolt
Link 3 is a starter kit for wireless.

Can I get just the handle bit and NOT use the wireless or worry that someone else can?
Do I need the starter kit to have the wireless at all?

TIA.

stgermaine 01-24-2013 06:37 PM

This is a great price, even if you only plan to use as keypad (not wireless). I have 2 installed and use for keypad only, but even the nonwifi ones typically run around $90. I wish I'd seen this last week when I ordered a third. Not worth the hassle of returning, re-purchasing. TU, OP.

gonzo99 01-24-2013 06:38 PM

Are the deadbolt (without the full kit) sold out? It says they're not available for shipping.

already answered this, but yes you can use the lock in a standalone mode.

lol again none of these have wifi!

deshwasi 01-24-2013 06:44 PM

ok. i dont have any/much idea about these other than seeing deals on here. i ordered a couple of the kit for $98. am i good or is there something not in the kit that is in the the other $68 sets?

joogle 01-24-2013 06:44 PM

so help me out here, for a front main door, which one is needed?

still confused about the three and i guess reading here it seems there is a monthly fee associated for some of its features

whichever one you want? may depend on your door or what your current setup is due to fitting. the question between the deadbolt and handle is just that. do you want to unlock the deadbolt via pin or the handle part?

there is a monthly fee for the schlage setup, but these locks can be used with other zwave controllers.

additionally i posted a code and link to thread for one year of free nexia (used to be schlage link) service

OhioState- 01-24-2013 06:50 PM

Nice, in for 6 of link 3. Super deal!

Thanks OP!

joogle 01-24-2013 06:50 PM

Thanks whats the 3rd link then, the starter kit?

In my front door it's a dead bolt but with a lever.

the starter kit includes the schlage link/nexia bridge so allow your locks to talk back to the online service that allows you more/remote functionality. it also includes a lamp module for controlling a light.

sounds like you want the replacement deadbolt then.

joogle 01-24-2013 06:55 PM

Thanks for your help, none are available in my area so i guess tha tmakes my decision :)

bjoyful 01-24-2013 07:04 PM

Sorry for the noob question, but is the dead bolt more secure than the lever lock? I do need a handle.

fenton 01-24-2013 07:10 PM

ok guys, this is driving me crazy. Got one from Radioshack clearance. First number of months, pressing the "Schlage" button without a pin would allow you to lock, but not unlock. Awesome!

Now, it makes me put in the pin before it allows me to lock it. Anyone else experience this?

Rusty2192 01-24-2013 07:14 PM

They have a ton of Z-wave stuff on sale. Here is a Trane thermostat kit with a lamp module and the controller for only $78.99.

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Trane...&cp=1&lp=1

heads up on the remotes, they are very very cheap on amazon and ebay, the ones without the LCD go as low as $5 shipped

for the other modules its a nice price, about what you want to pay.. $20/ea

AkumaX 01-24-2013 07:27 PM

They were available for shipping, but they sold out quick.

deshwasi 01-24-2013 07:28 PM

just to be sure, ALL of this stuff works at least like normal things without any subscription/paid service?

BilboFraggins 01-24-2013 07:32 PM

Seems dead, not available for shipping or in store pickup near me. :(

Submitted to Amazon to price match

cz9h3d 01-24-2013 07:34 PM

This looks like a great deal - and I actually need a new front door lock/handle. However, a coordinating lower handle is going to set me back another $110 [amazon.com]. And I have no interest in paying a monthly fee, so it's only the keyless access that is attractive.

So we're talking $183 for a new front door handle/lock, with keypad entry.

Or I can just get the Schlage set with a deadbolt/key for $148 (what, HomeDepot is less expensive than Amazon?)

So $35 for me to get keypad entry, which I guess is a very good deal looking at comparisons...

I guess I just don't want to have to spend $150 for a door handle period!

This is what I get from the description...

if you already have zwave, it's free.
if you don't, you need a subscription, "schlage link subscription".


Most new alarm panels come with zwave module option, may charge you a little extra for the service. This is how I will be using mine.

Yep. I got the LCDless GE remote off Amazon for $5 as a Warehouse Deal I think just a few weeks ago. They are around $10 new from Amazon.

I ordered two of the outdoor modules and one of the florescent lamp modules. I will slowly but surely get my Z-wave network built up :D

deshwasi 01-24-2013 07:40 PM

what do you mean "have zwave"? is that a service/sub? i have some zwave sockets and just got some GE ones .. gawd i hate SD. blew $500+ on stuff i didnt need & wasnt looking to get tonite. thanks BB for the 60-day premier returns.

gonzo99 01-24-2013 07:42 PM

the ge remote without the lcd is 2.95 on amazon right now

wrong. these can work standalone. however, if you want remote access of the lock then you need the bridge and service, or other zwave controller and your own setup.

i should have cleared it up for you. if you wish to use any zwave features (like your devices) you will need a controller. be it hand held controller like the $5 ones folks are mentioning, the schlage link box, or another box like the vera2/3/lite to be the brains controlling the zwave devices. with regard to these locks, you do not need the zwave functionality unless you want to remotely control it, or activate scenes when people enter via pin code.

dookiemiah 01-24-2013 07:52 PM

Nooooo, none in my area. :-( congrats to those that got in on this. I have one that I paid full price for and I like it a lot, would have been nice to really set this up though.

Emps 01-24-2013 08:17 PM

Got a brass one that was available for shipping. Thanks op. I missed the earlier Amazon deal on these.

Mungo 01-24-2013 08:35 PM

If you guys use a Mi Casa Verde Vera ZWave controller, instead of Schalge, there should not be any monthly fees for remote access.

Yeah, that's what I didn't like about it. I bought a bunch for all the exterior doors on my house so I could remotely unlock the door if I ever needed to, and also so I could log into my account remotely to make sure all the doors are locked. I was bummed when I found out that I couldn't actually remotely lock the door, it needs to be locked manually by someone. I returned the locks and bought the Kwikset model and I LOVE it! I've already had to use it twice to remotely let some family members into my house, and I also have it set to lock every door each night at midnight so I never need to worry about a door getting left unlocked over night ever again.

Unless it gets left ajar, even slightly. Then you're in the same boat as the Schlage users.

And while your point stands for the Schlage deadbolts, which do require manual engagement, the lever door locks will lock themselves without manually turning anything (just by design, not due to any motorized parts).

fwiw the lever handle version does lock and unlock remotely, but as you pointed out the deadbolt versions do not.

Well all my doors have self closing hinges, so getting left ajar isn't a problem for my house. And I did have to make a few very slight modifications to the strike plates on the door frames so when the doors are latched closed the deadbolts can move freely without hitting the plates. It was a pretty simple install and I couldn't be happier with them (the Kwikset models).

zipdab 01-24-2013 11:03 PM

They seem to be going in and out of stock.

I was just able to order the starter kits for the satin nickel dead bolt (2) and the satin nickel door handle..

it did not work with the deadbolt or door handle by itself ($68)

You can also add z-wave to any Windows PC and use inexpensive software like InControl to control these locks, lights, and switches:

There's a starter kit for an extra $50 that comes with two dimmer switches. Also has Android and iPhone apps.

I'll use a few. Already have one on my front door. I'll give a couple to my mom. The rest are for resale. Easy money.

Arcticat 01-25-2013 10:38 AM

Now we need to know how to use these without the subscription service.....

MrBOFH 01-25-2013 10:40 AM

In for 2 appliance modules. Lowest price so far since radio shack

Out of curiosity, what kind of margin is there on a resale?

There's a starter kit for an extra $50 that comes with two dimmer switches. Also has Android and iPhone apps.

Are you sure this kit handles locks? As these use encrypted zwave and to the best of my knowledge only Vera and home seer products support that protocol at this time.

jugernot 01-25-2013 10:44 AM

I use one of these with my z wave setup using InControl Pro and it works like a champ from my smartphone over the cloud. Pretty cool to be able to unlock/lock (or check to see if it's it's locked) from anywhere I have cell signal.

Got mine a couple years ago for around the same price at Radio Shack.

Use - Schlage Nexia = YES Subcription fee

What about Kwikset?

** OP is great deal. The lever lock is $190 on Amazon. **

mostly correct, look for my other posts in this thread for 1 year of free nexia service. might be worth checking out if you end up getting the bridge and want to try it out. no CC required.

to my knowledge kwikset does not have its own gateway, so you would use your own controller, not certain if it will work with the nexia/schalge link but it should?

jplayland 01-25-2013 11:51 AM

If they didn't have to screw you with the monthly fee, then great deal. Without the subscription, it's just a bulker/uglier version of other electronic locks.

do you have a link to an electronic lock with similar functionality (even without the zwave feature) for anywhere near $69?

again the subscription is only if you have a larger zwave network to integrate or you NEED remote access to the lock. if you already have a zwave controller these are a cool addition to the network as it allows all kinds of neat functionality.

Search for Schlage or any other lock brand right here on SD. I'm not sure if they are still active, but I have enough patience to wait or set a deal alert to get a good deal for my uses.

I really like the idea of being able to tell when people get home by txt. I like the idea of being able to lock the doors remotely if I forget. I would want compatible locks on each of my four external doors.

You don't have to use the Nexia though. If your controller/software supports it already, you can just add these...

carloo 01-25-2013 01:32 PM

So is it possible to use these locks and be able to control them from anywhere using a laptop or cell phone without paying a monthly fee?

Yes. You need to pay for a new box like a Vera Lite $179. The nexia bridge requires a subscription. But there is a 1 year promo code in this thread no cc req. That should give you time to see if you like zwave enough to spend money on vera.

mikeyz 01-25-2013 03:00 PM

I've had these locks in my house for over a year now, have to say its one of the best things I did, never have to carry a key with me, and if someone needs to drop or pick something up, I just give them a code to get in.

I never hooked it up to the Internet, never had any use to remotely let someone in. The only reason I'd use the online would be to make sure it's locked, but the alarm will take care if that.

while that is a use case, the other benefit to having not necessarily web connectivity, but instead integrated zwave functionality is if you wanted to a. log who was coming in and out (hand out different pins per person) and b. fire off a scene or specific action based on who is entering and when.

basic example:

guest pin code 7777 daughter is 2842 and you are 9999.
you have zwave lamp/light control
zwave thermostat
webcam

your controller maintains state of the lights and doors, perhaps even checking against the time and current state of the sun based on sunrise/sunset times for your area.

Your daughter arrives home from school at 4PM, a message is logged that pin 2842 was used. this can send an alert to your email or sms notifying you of she is home. because the sun is still out, no lights are triggered. temperature data from zwave thermostat and current temperate is checked, perhaps the AC/heat kicks on automatically.

You arrive at 9PM enter 9999, your controller knows its you, knows its dark, checks state of lights in the entryway and fires off entryway light because it is off, and who knows, starts warming a pot of coffee or turns on the reading light near your favorite chair.

over the weekend a person needs access to your home, you give them the guest pin. guest uses said pin, and because the controller recognizes it as a guest pin, fires up the webcam pointed at the door and takes a snapshot to ensure only who you expect is entering. this behavior would only occur for user of pin 7777, etc.


you can get really really really stupid with this.

dbvolfan1 01-25-2013 06:57 PM

I have a Kwikset (non-internet) version of these and love the convenience. The electronic innards have proven to be a bit of a disappointment having pooped out on 2 of the 3 locks within a year but Kwikset replaced them under warranty.
I paid $59 for the Kwikset ORB set in some kind of site error.....ordered like 6 for my house but it turned out I couldn't use them on 3-doors. Wish I had kept them now!

spooky187 01-25-2013 07:45 PM

So these things use batteries? Do they have the option of hooking up to the power? batteries would be nice...but only for backup incase power failure....

sdmaster07 01-25-2013 07:53 PM

Batteries do last a long time in these. The batteries do no not physically move the lock, they just allow the handle or deadbolt to be turned manually. There is always the key as a backup on all these Schlage locks.

Just an FYI, Lowes has had these on clearance in my area for weeks now. I've been watching the pricing drop, and I didn't have time last week to stop in. I went last night in the snow on my way home and there were only two starter kits left.

Sku on my receipt: 311020 SN LINK KEYPAD DDBLT STAR $56.06
311024 SN LINK ENTRY STARTER KIT $56.06
I did purchase them and need more, so I'll be on the prowl, but might as well give back to others since I've gotten in on a few deals from this site thanks to others' diligence.

Store #1656 I'm sure it's YMMV

Not only that, it is far more secure. To change (add/remove/modify) codes, the Schlage (an Yale) requires a master code. The Kwikset does not. So using them in eg rental property is a risk as all one needs to do to change a kwikset code is remove the cover on the inside and access is there with no security at all.

As far as battery life goes. I just changed the ones in my front door after almost 2 years of intensive use. These were batteries that came with teh unit purchased at the Radio Shack clearance. The others seem to have about a 1/4 charge left. The lock does start warning your when it gets low as on use the Schlage light starts blinking red. Indicating it's time to charge the batteries.

As far as installation goes, it's pretty easy with just a screwdriver or two if you are replacing an existing standard lock. All 4 of mine fit the existing door holes perfectly. Worst case you may need to enlarge the hole for the lock in your door post. I had to do that in one door post as the lock in there had a very small and flimsy bolt and the hole in the door post was to small to fit the Schlage receiver into. 10 minutes with a wood chisel fixed that.

Are the Schlage lever locks just as secure as the Schlage deadbolt ones?

Wow, that's the definition of rich. I'm away from my house so much that I need to let the people that take care of my house/kids/pets into my house remotely and pay a service to allow that!

By the way, most garage door openers can be opened from a wireless keypad mounted outside the garage door. Which is a cheap and elegant way of doing the keypad part of this.

what i dont like about the lockitron is that it does not appear to integrate with anything... i want the rest of the HA system to act on door open and specific pin unlock alerts. i suppose you could parse the text or email message but that is a lot of latency waiting for an email or sms from the lockitron.

You haven't used the system. Auto lock is so that after a code is entered to unlock you can have the bolt auto lock.

Or you can set scenes and schedules to trigger the lock.

e.g. User walks to front door, sensor can detect, trigger unlock event. At midnight a scene can activate locking all locks.

I can also from my iphone etc simply unlock or lock the deadbolt at will.

Not sure how long it will last, but there are several full kits available for shipping again. I just got an aged bronze lever kit.

As others have stated, these work with Vera Lite, so you do not need to pay a monthly fee after buying the initial equipment. That will mean that you are left with an extra Schlage LiNK Interface that you can eBay or trash. $99 is still a great price for the lock and z-wave light module.

Update: Most of these are already selling out again.

So I have an installation question. I removed my old deadbolt, and the hole is too small for the new Schlage. What is the best way to make it bigger?

I tried using a Hole Saw, but since I don't have a pilot to stick the middle into, it sorta flies everywhere when I start drilling. I tried pushing on it hard to make an indent, but I don't think my drill is strong enough to start that way. What should I do?

stealth11 01-31-2013 09:26 AM

Make some sort of jig or they sell kits at the Lowes and Home Depot to do this.

Hd and lowe's sell jig kits you place on the door that have holes at the right location. Those should help guide your hole saw.

Alternatively, clamp a piece of wood on the other side of the door for your pilot drill to use as a guide.

Anyone using the Nexia service and the GE/Jasco ZWave remotes?
I can't get the bridge device to accept the transfer from the GE remote (current master/primary) and I can only add the devices to the bridge if I first delete them from the GE remote. I would sort of be OK with the bridge being primary/master, but I don't see anyway to add the GE remote as secondary at all.

This is not working as expected for me at all :(

I can't get the bridge device to accept the transfer from the GE remote (current master/primary) and I can only add the devices to the bridge if I first delete them from the GE remote. I would sort of be OK with the bridge being primary/master, but I don't see anyway to add the GE remote as secondary at all.

This is not working as expected for me at all :(


yep thats pretty lame.

this is the difference between remote control/app solutions and real home automation/integration.

get a vera lite.

having hard time to sync the nexia hub with my deadbolt lock.

The dimmer sync fine, tried all the ways adding/removing, keep hitting plus couple of time when lock blinks, just no luck at all.

any hint?

I tried using a Hole Saw, but since I don't have a pilot to stick the middle into, it sorta flies everywhere when I start drilling. I tried pushing on it hard to make an indent, but I don't think my drill is strong enough to start that way. What should I do?

Try running the hole saw backwards. or drill another piece of wood and clamp the hole over the existing hole and use that as a guide.

I have the same issue. I tried 3 different z-wave controllers including the Nexia. My unit appears to be defective.

thanks,
unit means the hub or the lock itself?

is your issue fixed or you still struggling with it?

in my case looks the the hub is working fine along with the dimmer.

the locks appear to be working when I use the keypad.

The lock's Z-wave radio is defective. Otherwise it works OK. I reset it several times, restored factory settings, tried 2 veras and 1 nexia. I am getting no z-wave signal from it. I gave up and will have to return it. Bummer. I have another Schlage lock, which works great.

I have a Aged Bronze Deadbolt and a gilded bronze one. I want a silver deadbolt! PM me if anyone wants to trade anything... ATX in case people were local...

The 1st(with handle) and 2nd(without handle) pictures, which one is for front door? Thanks!

sdlife 02-04-2013 12:38 AM

I was assuming that you could install both the deadbolt and the lever lock on the same door, since installing either one still required me to use a key for the standard door lock. But when I started to install the lever lock on a door that I had already installed the deadbolt on there wasn"t enough room between locks. I checked two other entrance doors at my house and it was the same issue at each. Does anyone else have this problem? Does my house have non standard distances between the locks on all doors? TIA

Installation was very easy.... The only tricky part was installing the deadbolt... The deadbolt part is adjustable by turning it and you can make it longer. i was stuck on it for 10 minutes and was wondering why it didn't match when putting on the face plate till I took the deadbolt part out and saw that it was adjustable. Otherwise it was very simple. I think anyone with a screw driver can install it in less then 20 minutes tops. Also connecting it to nexia is very easy.

I had trouble with the 2 long screws on the back, using a regular screwdriver, I couldn't get them in deep enough for some reason. Solved with an electric drill, lol.

I had no trouble with the long screws at all... Maybe the depth of your door is non standard... I have everything setup already.... schlage really dumb proof this lock for DIY installations. At first I called a locksmith and was told it was going to cost me $200 for installation and I glady declined. I am happy i did too..

spoke with CS last night and they figure it out that the battery was low and that why the lock was not communicating with the hub to add the device.

funny part is once I change the battery and sync with the hub, it successfully added then I put the old battery back in the lock and on nexiahub its telling me that I still have 92% battery.

either the battery info on website is incorrect or the battery has to be 100% to sync with the hub for the first time not sure.

Well, this is great news. I did check the battery with a battery checker and it was good but I'll try another one. Thanks.

I tried a different battery- no luck. It's the 9V battery, right?

Deadbolts have 4 AA's and 1 9V

All need to be new or they fail.

shyboy 02-05-2013 03:21 PM

The deadbolt have 3 AA's and one 9V.

All have to be new.

Metric 02-05-2013 03:29 PM

Add fine for me even low; its likely coverage. Each z-wave device is a repeater so add lamp modules etc to extend the range.

not all zwave devices can act as repeaters for the schlage locks because they dont all support the zwave security protocol.

great. but not everyone bought a kit.

and my point still stands, not all zwave devices support the security profile so not all devices can act as repeaters for the schlage.

Jesus, AGAIN not everyone bought a kit!

Im simply providing valuable/factual information to someone who thinks buying the cheapest zwave module available for the sake of repeating MAY NOT work due to needing to support the security module.

I UNDERSTAND the ones that came in the kits DO support repeating the security protocol but what many of you are failing to understand is that they arent all capable of this.

Stop being a douche. No on cares that you didn't buy a kit. People are having issues with the bridge registering the lock and the answer is increase your range. I said SCHLAGE LINK modules - lamp, appliance, outdoor power, other locks. I've been using the system a long time.

Im not sure why you are so convinced he bought a kit either.
Being a douche would be considering only half of the equation (you).

While you are correct, the world of zwave expands far beyond the 'schlage link' branded stuff (that is ACTUALLY GE hardware).

I guess if you are locked into the Schlage link system you may not know this.

And I didnt buy a kit, because the nexia bridge is crap. I have a real controller.


If that sap who isnt within range of the lock got the idea to buy any ol' zwave module just for the purposes of repeating, and he also did not realize only specific devices support the security protocol, he would be SOL with still no solution and would have wasted money.

Im simply providing guidance and useful information. Stuff it.

Metric 02-05-2013 04:22 PM

No youre negative, I see that in all your postings. You aren't helping, just barking that you don't have a kit. Regardless, again, its the solution to the issue.

I have hai with a zigbee serial but still use nexia extensively and it was free for a year... so take your fancy controller and troll off because youre not offering help just moaning at others who are trying to.

People are using nexia bridge with these locks, sorry they aren't up to your standards... jeez.

wow you are thick.

afterall i -never- refuted your point, YES schlage link devices will repeat the security protocol.

please tell me if you refute my earlier claim:

"not all zwave devices support the security profile so not all devices can act as repeaters for the schlage."

i dont know why you are taking factual information so personally.

again i'm only trying to help others, dont know why you insist on arguing and attempting to marginalize my point.

Even if you put the old batteries in your lock now, it will still works.

Both the deadbolt and leverlock satin nickel are silver like and not gold.

To match these with a hub, keep the hub within like half a foot of the lock for about 15 while adding the lock. This goes for all battery operated zwave devices.

johnyeros 02-06-2013 06:14 AM

wtf i paid 138 for a 369 on ebay.. it's usually around 150.. this is a fking deal. whoever need this. get it.

young3 02-06-2013 06:25 AM

I need some clearing up: I bought a Schlage lever starter kit.
1) What exactly does the starter kit have extra to the wireless keypad lever lock? I am assuming it is the black thing that connects to your router.
2) Is the extra wireless black thing that comes with the starter kit necessary for other programs such as Vera or homeSeer?
3) Will GE 45600 Z-Wave Basic Handheld Remote control the lever (lock/unlock)?
4) Does the GE 45600 Z-Wave handheld need the extra dongle that the starter kit has compared to the Link Wireless keypad to work?
5) I bought some light fixtures as well, do those need the starter kit in order to work or are they all wireless and controlled by the dongle?
6) Do the Vera and homeSeer come with something where I will not need the starter kit and only need to get the LiNK wireless keypad lever lock?

brettatk 02-06-2013 06:27 AM

I would jump on this but it appears there is no stock anywhere close to me. Great deal though if you can get in on it.

had the same problem. I bought a filer set an file it out slowly.

Another problem I had was the hole has to be move away from the original spot by about 1 inches. I basically make a really big hole. Wood putty filled the extra portion back and once it's dry install deadbolt.

Not only that, the "old batteries" seem to be in perfect condition. Go figure. I am glad I didn't return the lock. I have another Schlage lock but never had these issues.

1. The z-wave controller- Nexia and an appliance/light module.
2. You don't need the Nexia controller if you have Vera. For HomeSeer you will need a controller- a USB one or one of their hardware products. Nexia won't work with HS.
3. I haven't tried myself but it should. You will be able to use only the on buttons though, not the off ones. (Edit: I tried it and it works.)
4. You need a z-wave controller like Vera. I don't know if it works with Nexia.
5. I am not sure what the dongle is in this context but see 2.
6. See 2. You need a Z-wave controller- Nexia, Vera or computer connected dongle/ HS hardware for HomeSeer.

Has anyone installed both locks on one door? Why didn't schlage design them so that would be a possibility?
