I’d like to know when someone has entered multiple ‘wrong’ PIN codes on my Yale Assure deadbolt’s keypad, but even when I manually test it with 4 wrong PINs in a row, literally none of this lock’s device parameters change.
I use Multi-System Reactor to watch the device. While I can easily see such things as lock.state changing from 1 to 0, and sl_UserCode updating after successfully unlocking … the remainder of its attributes stay the same.
On my old Schlage Z-Wave BE-469 deadbolt, the parameter to watch was called ‘Security Failed’, but the Yale has no such item listed. And the next best guess, ‘PinFailed’ (always =1) seems related more to programming than normal use.
Any clues?? I’d love to trigger a warning Scene based on this!
Thanks
Hello @VeraGator
All door locks have the variable “Security Failed” but it is intended to change when the security keys are not exchanged successfully, therefore this won’t actually report when a wrong PIN Code was entered in the door lock.
To get notified when a Bad PIN Code was entered please follow these instructions:
- Go to Devices
- Click on the arrow next to the device
- Select Notifications
- Select what would trigger the notification, in this case when a Bad PIN code is entered
- Give a new name to the notification, select who should be notified, and click Add
That way you can get notified if that scenario takes place.
Note: you can also select the same Trigger when creating a scene.
Excellent advice, and very much what I was after. Thanks!!
