April 28, 20178 yr I have several Schlage Connects installed and they have been working great with my ISY for about 2 years. About a month ago, our front door lock battery died and I replaced them with fresh batteries. The next weekend, the lock started beeping for low battery so I thought maybe I got a bad batch of batteries. Last weekend, I replaced the batteries and today the lock is totally dead. Any ideas what's happening? Could the ISY be polling it more frequently for some reason? I haven't made any changes that would impact it though.
April 28, 20178 yr Does the deadbolt itself function as before? I've read that the mechanism that moves the deadbolt has a higher power mode that engages if it has to work harder to extend the deadbolt. The result is a battery that drains quickly. Maybe the door isn't closing all the way anymore and the deadbolt isn't lined up with door jamb properly.
April 28, 20178 yr I have a program which writes to a local ISY file once each day with the status of all locks, the "Notification" looks like this: Lock 5 Battery level is ${sys.node.ZW005_1.BATLVL}, state is ${sys.node.ZW005_1.ST}, last user ${sys.node.ZW005_1.USRNUM}, Makes it easier to notice weird trends in battery decline.
