Lock offline

Happy to assist!

Offline, or Malfunction, mean that the lock is having trouble communicating with the alarm panel. Currently your lock is reporting a malfunction.

This means you will likely have trouble controlling the lock from the app or locally from the panel.

What you will want to do to troubleshoot is to:

  • remove the lock from programming,
  • re-add it,
  • then run a Z-Wave network rediscovery.
  • Test for functionality both locally and remotely

Steps on how to do that with your panel can be found below. You will need to keep the panel within 6 feet of the lock during the clear and add process and for five minutes after pairing successfully so the lock completes secure enrollment. The Z-Wave Network Rediscovery should be run once the panel is back at its installation point (you can run the panel off of battery only to bring it closer).

I am only seeing one Z-Wave device on your network, the lock. Z-Wave is a mesh network, meaning the more devices you have, the stronger it is.

Do you notice the lock falling off line frequently? How far away from the panel is it?
