Z wave is a mesh network which means unlike bluetooth and wifi each line powered z wave device acts as a repeater in the mesh think fishing net which increases.
Zwave door lock work in a zwave mesh network.
Z wave door locks and deadbolts z wave flood sensors and shut offs.
I have a smartthings hub with a kwikset z wave lock.
Because these devices operate on z wave technology there may be 2 ways to get your troubled device up and running.
These devices operate due to z wave wireless technology.
If i unlock and lock the door from my phone app it works fine and the status is correctly displayed unlocked or locked.
Doing a z wave repair after changing the positions of the hub and repeater should help fix the mesh configuration.
First things first you may use your adt pulse feature to control several types of devices like door locks garage doors on off appliance modules and thermostats.
Household products like lights door locks and thermostats are made smart when z wave connectivity is added inside the product s design giving them the capability to communicate and perform the desired functions that you want.
If i go in the house unlock the door using the keypad and lock the door manually when i am inside it works fine and the status is.
It is also away from the congested wifi bandwidth which leads to lost signals and a shorter range.
Although z wave devices create their own mesh network with each device acting like a repeater to other z wave devices the radios don t have much range.
Ideally exclude the lock and repeater then pair the repeater first followed by the lock and finally do a z wave repair to get optimal mesh routing.
How does z wave work.
Yesterday i noticed something weird that has been going on for the past couple days.
