So I spent the last few hours reading as much as I could before posting this - but I am lost. I have two kwickset locks - all I want to do is when the door is unlocked, call a timer to autolock them after 5 minutes. I did install some of the apps but can’t figure them out and also came across the thread where someone did this but also made it so it only locks if the door is closed - this would be ideal!
I’m having a tough time even figuring out the simple automation tasks - IE if door is unlocked, lock it…I can get around the system pretty well and have some devices installed and working and able to control them fine - just can’t grasp automating!
Have you read the documentation on creating a scene?
Basically you need to make a scene that waits 5 min then locks the door. Then you need to make a trigger for that scene that activates the scene when the door is unlocked.
I don’t know about the Quickset locks, I have a Schlege. I thought I could do what you are talking about but I can’t. The Schlege lock lets you send a signal to the lock, but someone needs to be outside the door to turn the bolt-to either lock or unlock it. So I guess I just want you to check to make sure the lock is capable of doing what you want before you waste too much time. I thought my lock was broken because I kept sending the signal to lock and unlock and it would flash and say it was doing it but nothing happened. Actually, it was working fine, someone just needed to turn the bolt. Good luck!
