Help configuring Schlage BE469 / Network Key - unable to control

Hello

I have just switched from Smartthings to Home Assistant couple ago and so far I am really excited about the possibilities. I am currently trying to add my Schlage BE469 Deadbolt and I can’t get it to work.

I first added it as secure node but it wouldn’t open/close from HA. After doing some reading, it sounds like I needed to enable network key first. However I am super confused where exactly I do that.

What I did was add a line to configuration.yaml as follows:

I then added the deadbolt as secure node again, but I am still unable to open/close it.

When I try it the log shows this command:

ERROR: Dropping command, expected response not received after 1 attempt(s)

I feel like it’s still related to the network key but I am not sure where exactly am I supposed to configure it, or what other troubleshooting steps I should take. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

So after more reading it looks like the security key is set by default now. I have removed my custom network key from configuration file, rebooted my HA Pi, then removed deadbolt from Z-wave and re-added again as node secure.

In the logs I do see some security related entries:

Trying to lock/unlock still resulting in:

Any help would be appreciated :pensive:
