If I install a Kwikset SmartCode Z-Wave Deadbolt, can I use this controller with it? Will I have the ability to control who and when can unlock my door? Can I configure the system to send me a text message when the door is unlocked by a specific person?

Others have mentioned that proximity between the Zee and your lock is a factor. This is partially correct, because a Z-Wave network is a "mesh" network, in that other devices have the ability to act as repeaters. You could say that the more Z-Wave components you have, the better all of it should work (in theory). In my house, I have two other Z-Wave components in between my Zee and my door lock (mine is a Yale). I've never had a connectivity issue. I DO NOT have the ability to program the door lock (entry codes, etc) through the interface of the HomeSeer API. Nope. I do this on the lock itself. We have four codes set up on ours. You asked about text messages when the door is unlocked by a specific person (code). YES, this is possible via the Zee's HS3 software, in a way. What is actually happening is the Zee sends an email, not a text message. However, most wireless providers have a function where an email can be sent as a text message. This is how I accomplish the notification that my wife and I both receive via SMS whenever our teenager uses his code to unlock the door. Here is an example of the above on AT&T's network: http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB63037&cv=820#fbid=_WFfaYxxr4L

If you do not use the nexia bridge then: This will work by itself fine but you do not have remote opening or monitoring capability. You need another zwave controller to remotely unlock it or monitor it. If you don't use the nexia bridge however other zwave controllers have more capability, work faster and do not require a monthly fee.

WINK uses z-wave to communicate with its devices. Z-wave is a non-manufacturer specific technology, so the question isn't "Does it work with WINK?", but rather "Does WINK work with it?" That is to say, WINK may not have gotten around to building out the support for it yet, but the alarm does have the ability to communicate when they do. Do a search on the WINK site to see if it is a device that can be added. If it can't at the moment, it probably will be in time. I have this for my SmartThings Hub, and it works perfectly. So do my WINK-branded z-wave door locks. Hopefully that answers your question. WINK uses z-wave to communicate with its devices.

Yes, you would need a internet connection for either device to be used with a z-wave control system. You do not need internet connection for the lock to work on a door however but you would not want to purchase the z-wave compatible (Nexia) door lock and just get the regular lock instead...

Hi there - yes there is. I bought this one : MiLocks QF-01P 3-in-1 Keyless Entry Deadbolt with RF Remote Control - Brass Available from Smarthome.com You will need the MorningLinc - INSTEON 2458A1 Morning Industry RF Doorknob/Deadbolt Controller (plugs into electrical socket. I have been able to let builders in to the house if I have been called away. I monitor what is happening through the cameras.Hope this helps.

Chris; I'm not a locksmith, but the image that you copied and sent was a "Passage Door Knob." there is no lock mechanism. There are various Entrance Locks that have knobs and a keypad as well. I would think that as long as you are using a brass lockset, I can't imagine the building not allowing a lever type lock. The lever locks came about primarily because of the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act.) If you had trouble grasping a door knob, they (by law) would have to supply you with a lever type lock. I put in a bright brass lever keypad lock like the one pictured to the left. My family all thought that I was nuts, but now they love it. There are several models. The one pictured here has "Z-Wave" capabilities which would allow you to unlock the door remotely if you spend the money on the interface. What I don't like about it, is it is very easy to hit the unlock button on the inside while you are going in or out of the house. I wished that I got the model where you have to manually unlock the door from the inside if you want to disable the keypad. Otherwise, I LOVE IT&gt;

No Zwave devices can be programmed directly into touch controller like wireless devices. I have programmed light switches, door locks, etc. and this thing pics them up without a problem. I also have a wired alarm system which connects to this controller with just two conductors, just like the old fashioned controllers used to.

Yes, but their are less expensive Schlage models just like this if you don't want it as part of a Z-wave network. You can use it stand alone for now and then eventually add it to a Z-wave network with remote access to change codes, lock, unlock, and log access. I use several of them.

This kit will work with the Smartkey Kwikset locks. If you have an older lock system, this kit is not meant for it. If you have a Smartkey kwickset lock, then you should not need this kit. Just rekey the lock to your existing key that works for the rest of the locks.This kit is only a set of six keys to rekey a smartkey Kwikset lock. The smartkey kwikset lock system can be rekeyed in minutes. Check out this website.http://www.kwikset.com/SmartSecurity/Re-Key-Technology.aspx

Unfortunately it will not. The problem is that myQ lacks any kind of zwave standard. Its a proprietary protocol. The only mechanisms that support myQ is their app and alarm.com (due to their partnership. I personally have alarm.com. I had some confusion with my security vendor as they wanted to charge me $300 for this. I found out I could just set it up myself. The setup is done completely through alarm.com. I simply press the myQ button on the garage door opener and the gateway when prompted online and that is it. Just wanted to give you an idea that it really doesn't use zwave standards. If you go for this, you will have to use a separate app unfortunately. Unfortunately it will not. The problem is that myQ lacks any kind of zwave standard. Its a proprietary protocol.

According to the description of Smarthings , I can be used with it."The SmartThings Know and Control Kit can also be paired with additional Z-Wave or ZigBee devices, to allow users the ability to create a fully integrated dashboard that controls all of the smart devices in your home."

ZenSys keeps the SDK, and HDK locked down to developers only. The SDK is very cost prohibitive for the average user. The best you are going to find is either OpenZWave.org, or an old commercial package by HomeSettings. It installed a DLL you could build on. It wouldn't be able to use some of the new z-wave devices such as locks, and because the DLL doesn't have the new capabilities coded with z-wave firmware version 3.2, you would get base functionality only.

Hi Ryan,Thank you for your inquiry. I am very sorry but the LockState Deadbolt with remote will not work with HomeLink. Please let us know if you have any additional questions regarding this item.Thank you,Karey

no. It only sends a zwave radio signal that tells a controller the door is open or the door is closed. (ok, it also sends a battery charge condition too), but you can't turn it off, or disarm the sensor itself. Any arming or disarmming would be with the zwave controller

It depends on what you mean by RF module.The lock comes with a Z-wave card. If you have an existing Z-wave network in your home, you shouldn't need to purchase anything else to use the lock and control it remotely.

They are keyed differently. According to the seller, "We do not provide the option of making them keyed alike". Most deadbolts are keyed differently unless they are sold as a set. A locksmith should be able to rekey them for you so that they are all the same, or you could search for Kwikset SmartKey locks, which can be easily rekeyed by nonprofessionals.

Hello, Once your Kwikset is paired with your Veralite then all you have to do to enter new lock codes is to go to the settings section of that Z wave device and enter your new codes and then press the save button. Deleting is done the same way as saving as you can delete each code that was saved. Hope this helps.
