Setting up a virtual switch to disable autolock on Kwikset

I’ve been wading through these forums, becoming more and more confused. Help please!

I’d like to be able to temporarily disable the autolocking feature of my Kwikset deadbolt. Say for a party, or moving things in and out during the winter, so I don’t have to leave the door open. Ideally, I’d like to use HomeWave to activate a switch that will enable/disable autolocking.

I’ve been reading about using the PLEG plugin to create the automation, but I keep getting tripped up.

Is it possible to do what I am hoping to do?

I do not think there is an easy way to turn auto-lock on and off.
I believe people are turning auto-lock off permanently.
Then they use PLEG or PLTS to Lock after the door is unlocked and the specified amount of time has passed.

Hi DTaylor

See url http://s7d5.scene7.com/is/content/BDHHI/Website%20Content/Kwikset/Resources/KwiksetSmartCodeManual.pdf

Dip switch #2 controls the autolock. Not sure exactly what model you have.

I easily turned autolock off on my kwikset locks.
