My Schlage lock shows up in Vera but it won’t lock or unlock with Vera and there isn’t anywhere I see to change the codes or anything. It just has basic generic info about it in the settings devices screen. Anyone having the same issue?
It seems the lock has not been configured.
You also need to have the Later version of the Zwave dongle.
It needs to be Ver 2.48
In Vera’s setup page go to Setup → Devices → Z-Wave options, and look at the ‘Version’. Ver 2.48
First make sure the lock is within range of vera. It seems it is best to install the lock to Vera while it is next to Vera.
Follow the directions here use method 2 it is way easier.
Hello,
I was reading some of these posts on getting the lock to work. So I checked the version on my dongle and it shows version 1.78
Added to Vera and configured fine.
Wondering if I should request a new dongle?
Anyway… hopefully you can get it to work soon.

Hi Dave,
Are you saying you have version 1.78 and your lock works?
EDIT: After reading another of MCV’s posts, it looks like almost all current dongles will need to be replaced because of a firmware error. Unless you have already received a replacement recently, one might be showing up soon (e.g. when the slow boat from china gets here with the corrected product).
Yeah… I am just as surprised as you…
Worked right out of the box and haven’t had the experiences that you have had. I am waiting for confirmation that this is a dongle that will work just fine and not need to be replaced.
The system works fairly close together since it is being used in a fairly small condo.
Good luck… I know it can be frustrating.

I’m not sure what 1.78 is, but old dongles had firmware version of 2.40 (like mine), which is stable, but doesn’t have necessary security/encryption support for the lock. 2.48 is the newer version of the dongle firmware, which works with locks, but is very unstable.

where do you see ver 1.78 for the dongle. can you post a pic?
Ignore the 1 or 2. It’s the .xx that matters. .78 are the new Z-Wave 5.02.3 chips, which fix the reliability issues of the earlier ones. .40 doesn’t have security, but is stable. >.40 and <.78 have security but are unreliable. >=.78 has security and are stable.
