I recently purchased a Vera Lite and several different sensors and other z-wave enabled devices. I haven’t had any issues installing them and everything is showing in the interface (UI5).
I purchased a Schlage lock and I’m having a few separate issues. It’s not really responding how I expected it to. First and biggest issue is it’s not notifying. In the notification setting I have several enabled for when “a PIN code is entered”. You then put the code number associated with it, be it #1, 2 etc. I have several users and it is not sending a notification on anything but pin code #1. Other’s are getting logged but no alerts are being generated, thus nothing is coming across vera alerts.
Any ideas on what could be happening here?
I am also trying to create a scene. What I want to do is whenever a PIN is accepted, and it’s night, then the interior light comes on. I have yet to get this to function properly. I have the day/night plugin installed.
For devices I have the interior light selected and night on the day/night plugin. Trigger I have the front door device, type of event is a pin code is entered, pin code index I have 1,2,3,4. I have nothing in schedule or luup. Advanced I have a photo being pulled from cam. It also shows:
Foyer Light SetTarget newTargetValue 0
Day or Night SetTarget newTargetValue 0
I’m sure I’ve messed up something with the scene just not sure what. The door not notifying entry however is really confusing me as it seems like a simple setup and it is partially working.
Any assistance would be great for this newbie!

The Devices and Advanced tabs are two different ways of setting what you want to happen when the scene runs. For simple on/off actions, you can select them on the Devices tab. The Advanced tab allows more options in selecting the action and specifying parameters. The Advanced view will show the actions selected in the Devices view.
Right now, your actions are set to turn the Foyer Light off and set the Day or Night plugin to night. I don’t think you want either of these. Change the action for Foyer Light to turn it on (newTargetValue 1) and delete the action for Day or Night.
You define what you want to cause the scene to run on the Triggers tab. Triggers are events. When one occurs, the scene will be run. If you want to apply conditions to limit when the scene may run you need to add Luup code to either the trigger’s Luup event or the scene’s LUUP tab. This is explained in Conditional Scene Execution which also includes an example using the Day or Night plugin.
Thank you for the assistance.
I have cleared everything out of the advanced tab as advised.
I was under the impression the day/night plugin replaced the LUUP code for the day/night condition. Would my Trigger be correct in this instance? Can you have a Trigger for when codes #1,2,3 or 4 are pressed? Or will I have to create a scene for each different code?
The bigger issue potentially is why it’s not recognizing/notifying of the entry of code 2,3, or 4. That not only is messing up my notifications with vera alerts but also wouldn’t it ruin this scene from working?
edit:
I have deleted the plugin and just going to use the LUUP code for day/night. No reason to complicate things.

Whether you use luup.is_night() or the status of the Day or Night plugin, you don’t want this to be a trigger - it is an added condition to triggers from your lock (at least that is what I would expect you to want). Vera scenes can only handle these added conditions through the use of Lua/Luup code. The examples in the thread I linked earlier show how to use this mechanism.
Can you have a Trigger for when codes #1,2,3 or 4 are pressed? Or will I have to create a scene for each different code?
You can have multiple triggers for the same scene so you could create one for each code. I believe you can also use the code * to get a trigger when any code is entered.
The bigger issue potentially is why it's not recognizing/notifying of the entry of code 2,3, or 4.
You need someone with Z-Wave lock experience to help you here. Personally I keep my doors secured with massive chunks of drill-proof, pick-proof, hammer-proof metal monsters. ;D
I believe I have cleaned up everything with your help. Just wanted to confirm I would simply put the code in the LUUP section and save, correct?
Looks like I just need to get the lock alerting to the PIN entered cleared up.
Thanks

If you place the code in the LUUP section it will affect all triggers and even manual scene operation - which is probably what you want, so, yes. You need to click Save lua. If you deleted all the actions on the Advanced tab as you mentioned earlier, you should also open the Devices tab and click the On button for your light.
Now click Confirm changes and finally Save/Restart Vera.
Ok I think I have the scene built correctly, thank you!
I am still having issues with the lock however. I just went into confirm everything and two of the five pins are gone. There is now just 1,3, and 5. I know I didn’t make any changes to the lock device nor did I delete the PINs. The notification for the device is still there for PIN 2 and 4. Anyone have similar issues?
