I’ve seen some posts on here for hacks and work arounds for the Kwikset 916 lock… I have two 910 locks that have been working great for years so I bought a 916 assuming it’d function much the same…
I can’t control the lock remotely at all like I can the other two even though it says it is connected to the Zwave network… The device state doesn’t update when I manually unlock or lock it either (again I can see state changes with the other two locks)
Anybody have a solid way of fixing issues with this lock to get it working with HA?
I just got mine to work. Sounds like I had the same problems too.
My problem was I was not adding as a secure node.
When I pushed the button on the lock to make discoverable, it was added, but nothing worked. I removed and tried a few times.
Steps to solve. Remove by going into the zwave configurator and click remove nodes, then push the button on the lock. It should be red for a couple seconds.
go back to zwave configure and click on add secure node, go to the lock and push the button… Should work after that and you should see a couple more options like alarms
I definitely added mine as a secure node the first time around but since I got sick of it not working right I tried removing and reading it recently and now it works fine.
