Truly starting to hate Vera.

Okay, I decided to unplug Vera from my desk and take it out to my son’s studio to configure/fix his Schlage lock once and for all. Did a factory reset on the lock. So far, so good. Excluded it from prior networks with the dongle-that worked, too. Went to add the Schlage lock per the wiki. Vera box was doing a double-blink every second or so, since it didn’t have an internet connection. Pressed-and-held the black button and tapped the red button while doing so. Waited 30 seconds. Still a double-blink. Repeated several times. Double blink-no steady blink once a second. Cycled the power. Tried again. COntinued for about 45 minutes. No joy. I have a lock installed in the studio, and two more in boxes, ready to put in. What’s that? $700+ in locks? I’m really trying to be patient with this thing, but I’ve about had it.

Rant off.

What firmware and dongle version do you have?

I moved back down to .899 because I was getting the slowdowns. Dongle version is 2.78.

Only thing I can think of to try to tell you is that I had to make sure I firmly pushed the buttons (don’t break them off, but make sure you aren’t just tapping them). Sounds like you have the correct versions to work with the links.

We all feel your pain. This post was what saved me.

CMRANCHO-

Saved me, too! I configured one of my new locks on the desk before installing it, exactly following the directions in your link, and IT WORKED!! I’m going to yank the other lock out of the door and bring it over to the desk and do the same thing. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
