Posted September 18, 20196 yr Hi ISY Friends, I installed a Yale YRD256-ZW2 (Z-wave) deadbolt in August. My ISY is in my basement and the range didn't work for this particular deadbolt. I had to move the ISY right next to the deadbolt in order to get it added to the ISY. I bought a couple of: Aeotec Range Extender 6's off of Amazon and added them to my home and the deadbolt worked great for about a month. Now I seem to keep loosing connectivity. I tried removing the lock from the ISY and adding it back in yesterday but it seems to be inconsistent even though I have one of these Z-wave repeaters right next to the lock. I am still somewhat new to Z-Wave. I have another Kiwikset Z-Wave Deadbolt and it has no issues at all. Any ideas on what else I should do? Running 5.0.15 A Z-Wave 6.81.00 Edited September 18, 20196 yr by isyrocks!
September 18, 20196 yr May simply need a stronger mesh. Yale works great with the isy (I have a few). Being rf only, different things can interfere with the zwave signal. I'd remove the lock, bring it closer to the isy, heal the network, and test for a few days to make sure the 2 can talk. If you have no issues, then you need more devices
October 6, 20196 yr Author Thanks for the feedback. I got it working again. I factory reset the deadbolt, brought the ISY close to the deadbolt and re-added it just fine. After that I ran a heal. I then moved the ISY back to it's original spot and ran a heal again. Now it's working.
