Schlage Lock

[kuja]

Has anyone actually gotten a Schlage lock to work? I have followed this:

openhab/openhab1-addons

And not gotten very far…
Just curious
Thanks!

This thread has the most up to date discussion.

OH2 and ZWave Locks

When I lock/unlock it from the device itself, that change is not registered in OpenHAB (perhaps it eventually would, but I haven’t monitored it closely). Instead of sending a lock state change, this model lock sends an alarm condition which I can see in the logs is instantly is sent. OpenHAB just doesn’t know what to do with that info. If you unlock it from the handset, are you seeing that change reflected in OpenHAB right away?

@rlkoshak
I havent even gotten that far. I have it paired and needed to install the lock so I had to move it away from the dongle – I was hoping to at some point be able to unlock the door for people we knew - not auto-magically just using a front door cam and manually unlocking. I will read through that discussion … seems that they have a lot of talk around OH2 wondering if anyone on 1.x has tried this.

@kuja

wondering if anyone on 1.x has tried this.

The security command class work I believe has only been done in the OH 2 zwave binding. The OH 1 zwave binding is not undergoing enhancements any longer.

I’ve got a Schlage Camelot lock working perfectly with OH 1.8.1 and the security testing zwave binding I compiled a bit ago. It unlocks with no delay and the distance from the controller isn’t a problem. I believe they only need to be closer for pairing because it uses a lower power mode for that (so as to not broadcast keys and such to the neighborhood).

I haven’t tried the precompiled zwave binding linked in the wiki as everything else seems to be working perfectly.

So you followed that guide ? the general guide found here:

openhab/openhab1-addons

Thanks!

Yeah, compiled the binding, dropped it into my addons folder, rebooted openhab to make sure all 50+ zwave devices still worked then reset the lock, pulled it out of the door and put it next to my pi then did the include.

@Mike_Bagdanoff I must have missed the compile step … I downloaded the one in the instructions and went on my way…

[Mike_Bagdanoff]

There wasn’t a precompiled one linked to the instructions when I did this but I assume it works too. I’ll try it eventually but what I have works so I leave it be.

roger that, I am just wondering about what I can do for troubleshooting, perhaps my security setting in the cfg is incorrect?
