My old Schlage (pre-2019) can’t hook up to my system. I am confused on what I should buy. I see “compatible” models but I am not sure if they need to be ZWave, Bluetooth, WiFi, all three???
I don’t need a key (I have not used one for over 6 years). I want to program it so the alarm is disengaged when door code is entered. I need to unlock while away from home and have temporary passcodes for sitters.
If you have the same panel and a functional door lock, please tell me what you have. Or it is not functional, please warn me!
Thank you!
Check out the PowerG lock. It will have more reliable communication than z-wave locks. The only downside is it will only work with PowerG panels like the IQ4.
I am using a Baldwin ZWave lock with the IQ4 panel and it works flawlessly.
This list is good to reference for automation devices officially supported by ADC.
For what it is worth, Schlage is more or less unique it its compatibility issues of the devices on the list. There have been multiple times in the past when Schlage locks manufactured prior to a specific date failed to work properly on newer Z-wave radio versions.
