Set Schlage Lock Codes in Program?

[switzch]

Hi there - I can create custom lock codes for my schlage lock in the ISY through the USERS interface.  Works great. I would like the ability to add and remove user lock codes based on day or other variables. Is this possible?  A quick look into the program options and it looks like Lock and Unlock are my only options but wanted to double check.

Nope, can't do it. That's been requested a few times. It may be a security concern put into place by lock manufacturers, but that's just speculation

The ISY console does have functionality to set or delete a user code in the admin console, so it can be done via Z-Wave.   Technically it is a limitation of the ISY-994, not a limitation imposed by Schlage.

But not via a program, only manually. Is there an app that you're aware of the does allow what the OP requested?

What is the difference between what ISY-994 allows to be done "manually" in the GUI and what is available to programs?

What do you mean by "an app"?

 

The official Nexia app for iPhone manages user codes. Smart Things has "Lock manager", and Wink can do it too:

The OP would like to add/remove user codes based on, for example, time of day. A program can do that automatically. Doing it manually requires, well, stopping whatever you're doing and making the changes from the ISY interface at that particular time.

 

Can the Nexia app, Lock Manager or Wink do those things automatically?

 

Oh, when I refer to an app, I mean a smartphone application or a computer program (i.e., .exe or .com or .bat) or something like the ISY Administrative Console.

Both HomeSeer and Z-wave.Me support managing user codes from within a program.  The latter provides a REST API which could be used from ISY-994 to change a user code using a Network Resource call.
 
Again, this is a feature UDI has not chosen to write source code for in the current firmware, not something technologically or contractually restricted to only being done by a human clicking on things; UDI could add it to the next 5.0.x code update and this whole thread would be moot.

Yah exactly. If I could change the user codes via a program i could, for example, set a new code each day and sms that code to a visitor at a specific time. Currently, I can do this but I need to find a computer, login to isy, update the code and I believe this is only accessible via the desktop admin tool vs. mobile app like Mobilinc or Agave.
