More Schlage BE469 ZWave problems

Configuration Z-Wave
1

Things were actually good for a few months. I don’t know exactly what changed but something updated and my ZWave network stopped being responsive. I decided to migrate to a more durable machine, and recreate the ZWave network from scratch. One-by-one I re-added everything, but when it came to the Schlage BE469 deadbolt, I’ve just been stuck dead in the water.

What happens is, I do a S0 secure inclusion of the BE469. It takes a while to interview, but everything shows up and I have all of the data/controls available to me in the ZWaveJS control panel. But everything is unresponsive. I check the debug log, and it looks like events are arriving, but are being discarded:

So even though HA tells me that it’s a secure connection, apparently my lock thinks it isn’t.

  • I’m using ZWaveJS2MQTT for the deeper debugging/control of the network, with the ZWaveJS server to generate my HA entities.
  • I’m using S0 Encryption, which is what the BE469 supports. (I’m using.a key auto-generated by the ZWaveJS2MQTT control panel.)
  • I’ve changed the batteries in the door lock, I’ve both factory reset the door lock and rebooted my HA machine more times than I can count.
  • I always perform a ZWave Exclusion on the keypad before attempting to include it again.
  • The ZWave USB stick is less than 6 inches from the door lock when I attempt this.

It’s been over a dozen times with the same apparent result: ZWaveJS thinks it’s a secure connection, but my lock disagrees.

Any advice here?

Thanks…

Dan.
