If you have the Z-Wave module for your ISY994iZw, there are several threads discussing the various Z-Wave brands of locks.

 

Without Z-Wave, your best option is the MorningLinc (MI) controller and locks

Insteon controlled locks do not report their status.

So if I use a MorningLinc with a insteon door controller I wont be able to see if its open or closed ?

That's correct. If you don't need to know the status, then sending a lock command will still lock the lock no matter the state of the lock.

Many of us use the Schlage locks. They are great.

I wouldn't recommend Insteon for locks due to the lack of security. Z-Wave is a better choice for this use case, and Yale and Schlage are both excellent options

Do you mean security of the lock itself? Morning Industry locks are high quality and very secure.

Presumably, giesen means "secure communication link to the lock", which is lacking from Insteon solutions (and Insteon protocol in general), but supported by most (all?) ZWave locks.

I tend to agree with you assumption, but questioning an ambiguity minimizes misunderstanding B)

Why has everyone ignored that he wants a lock for the Insteon Hub?

Because this forum is for the ISY controller?
