A few Schlage Deadbolt questions

Other Devices & Integrations Door Locks & Sensors

I have my Schlage deadbolt paired with my Vera2. I’ve got three questions about it though.

  1. Is there a way to have the unlock notifications specify which code unlocked it?

  2. The notification text messages always come it twos and from different sources randomly (like noreply1@notification or noreply2, 3 or 4, regardless of how the lock is unlocked), but I only get one email. What might I have done to cause duplicate text notifications and from different sources?

  3. When I remotely execute a lock or unlock command (through Home Buddy or UI4), I hear the lock release temporarily, but the bolt does not move either way on its own. Am I misunderstanding what it should do? (I had seen a YouTube video where a guy demonstrated with a different brand that the bolt actually moved with the command, I was hoping mine did too.)

Thanks so much for any insight in to these questions!

To answer question three, the schlage does not offer the ability for the deadbolt to move. You have to physically be three to turn the deadbolt. The Kwikset locks have the ability to physically turn the deadbolt when not present.

Thanks! I was afraid that was the case.

I believe so. I do this with my Kwikset locks to notify me when the cleaners have arrived. The Notifications tab allows for a notification to be defined when ‘A PIN code is entered’. You then specify what PIN code should trigger the notification.

I have mine set up with a scene that turns llights on when the code is put in if it is night. It also ends the notification which includes the pin number. So yes it can provide that. I only get one notification for an unlock via PIN. If you get more it may be from lock/unlock in addition to PIN entered.

Thanks so much all, I am now seeing where you can enter specific pin codes, and by deleting my old notification and putting in the new pin specific ones, I am now only getting one alert, although they still come from different “noreply” numbers.

Minnies… I have set up a scene where it turns on a light, but I don’t see anything specific for time of day. Can you tell me how you did that?

Thanks!!! :slight_smile:

regrading Minnies light turning on, so I looked at my scene, and saw “timers” so I added one that says after sunset and one that says before sunrise. My thought is that then when someone unlocks the door, the light will go on as long as it’s after sunset and before sunrise. Did I get that right? (I guess I’ll find out tomorrow morning :slight_smile: )

No, this will not work. You will need to add the following in the luup section of the scene:

return luup.is_night()

You will need to remove the timers that you created for after sunset and before sunrise.

Thank you Garrett! I’ll do that :slight_smile:

Correct for use of Luup for night. Also you can use an “*” in the PIN section so that it sends the PIN for all available PINS

Thank you again Minnies! So I could have just put a * in, instead of setting up a notification for all pins ::slight_smile:

I wish there were classes for this! I’m not a good owners manual learner, and I’m sure there’s so much more my Vera can do that I’m missing out on!
