Why do i get both unlock and lock notifications?

I have a program that sends a notification when either of two locks are unlocked. For one of these locks (a schlage FE599 Door Lock) I also get a lock notification.  This doesn't happen for the Kwikset Door Lock deadbolt.

 

The behavior I expect is to only get the unlock notification for both locks and never a lock notification.

(this is the only program I have that sends notifications or queries the lock status, all the text messages indicate this is the program that generated both the unlock and lock alerts)

 

 

locks - [iD 0013][Parent 0001]

If
        Status  'Ground Floor Hallway / Front Deadbolt' is Unlocked
     Or Status  'Ground Floor Hallway / Front Lever Lock' is Unlocked
 
Then
        Send Notification to 'Default' content 'Door Unlocked'
 
Else
   - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

ok, but then why send me the true state of locked when it locks and not send it when I unlock one.

 

For the logic to be consistent if I unlock one of the locks I should get one unlocked message and one locked message on the unlock, but it doesn't.

The if is evaluated any time either status changes. The FE599 when unlocked remotely will automatically relock after a few seconds changing it's status and forcing your if to reevaluate. This may be where the extra unexpected notification is coming from.

 

You could change "Status" to "Control" and get the result you want.

Thanks, I took a look at control.

 

For the Kwikset I have all sorts of interesting options around battery life, remote lock/unlocking, local unlock  using key or buttons etc.

For the Schlage all I get on the control option for the 'is / is not' is Access Code 1 through 30

 

This means there is no way to use control to alert and do what I want.

 

1) Should I be seeing more options for the schlage? This lock has a direct association with the ISY.

2) it is non-intuitive to me the way the logic works with status.  I only get the 'locked' message when both locks start out in the unlocked state and then I lock one of them.  If they both start locked and I unlock one and then lock it again I get no locked message.  Is this because at the pint of evaluation both = false  i.e. the evaluation of the state is done after the action, not on the action?

I'll have a look at what is available on my 599s when I get home and report back. My memory says I'm using control for some of mine but won't know for sure till I look.

You could break your program into two separate programs, one for each lock. That would also solve the problem.

Great minds think alike :-)  already did that as I can be pragmatic - just wanted to be as elegant as possible :-)

Looks like only user access codes are represented in the "Control" list.  Lock and Unlock are Status only events.

Thanks for checking, good to know it isn't some unique issue with my setup. 

 

Shame the schlage lock seem to be feature sparse. The Kwikset will let me set user schedules from the ISY in addition to all the other features that schlage appears not to have in the control list. Do you have any idea if the is the Schlage lock itself or the support in the ISY?

Posted

I can't say for sure but my gut says that the lock itself is the weak link here.  The 599 in particular bugs me in that it can't be remotely unlocked for more than a few seconds yet there is a button on the lockset that will unlock the lock until it's told otherwise.  Seems to me like Schlage never finished the ZWave interface on this one.

I concur.  I submitted a ticket to Schlage.  I have asked them about firmware updates.  Lets see what they say.

 

I did find this for the BE469 - not a lot of support in these either http://www.schlage.com/content/dam/sch-us/documents/pdf/installation-manuals/24352403.pdf wish I had known this before I bought and fitted them.  I like the physical aspects of their locks over kwikset.  This sparse implementation of z-wave is disappointing.

Thanks.  I already had that document a while back.  Couldn't find anything like it for the 599 however.

Hi,

 

I know this is old, but did you get resolution to this?

 

I've got a single Schlage 469 and I set up an alert program to see when it locked/unlocked. When the program runs, it seems to run both the lock and the unlock program no matter what the lock does.

 

 
I'm running 5.0.1, but i had this issue before that.

Hi Michel,

 

For testing, I was manually unlocking/locking from the inside knob and with the keypad.  Whichever operation I perform, I get an unlocked notification followed by a locked notification.

 

Thanks,

Dave

I should have known to do that in the first place...

Hi DaveF,

 

Thanks so very much. It looks pretty good.

 

Can you please disable your Unlocked program, retry, and let me know whether or not you still get the notification for door unlocked (even though locked)?

 

With kind regards,

Michel

I disabled the unlock program and unlocked/locked the deadbolt.  I got a single locked message both times, once for the unlock and once for the lock.

Hi DaveF,

 

Thank you. This is quite strange. We need to figure out which one of the conditions is causing the program to be true when unlocked. Can you please try each one of the following conditions individually and let me know what you get for each (i.e. remove those that are not being tested):

 

Control (Old) 'Outside / Front Door Lock' is switched Key/Manually Locked
Or Control (Old) 'Outside / Front Door Lock' is switched Locked by Keypad
Or Control (Old) 'Outside / Front Door Lock' is switched Automatically Locked

 

With kind regards,

Michel

I have these same programs and although they worked fine previous to release 5 I am now getting both lock and unlock notifications regardless if the lock was locked or unlocked. Both notifications come one right after the other. Will watch this thread and do some more testing if I can find the time. Schlage BE469's

Hi Michel,

 

As a test, I created 5 separate programs, 1 for each of the LOCK conditions (automatically, keypad, manual) and 1 for each of the UNLOCK conditions (keypad, manual).  When I unlocked the lock manually, i recieved 10 emails. 6 LOCK (2 for each condition) and 4 UNLOCK (2 for each condition). In the admin console all 5 programs show a status of TRUE and the same RUN/FINISH times.
