If your lock is paired right now, unpair it (called unenroll in the manual, page 13). Then do a factory reset on the lock (manual page 12). Then fire the Home Assistant service “add_node_secure”. Then enroll the lock.
Thank you for your suggestion. I decided to remove the device using the open z wave control panel then added it securely. Seemed that the issue was that I wasn’t able to add it securely without first removing it from the control panel. Very odd.
Just wanted to confirm here that I successfully connected the Schlage Connect lock (also known as BE469WK) and am now using it in hass. If you already have securely connected a z-wave device (I had connected the linear garage door opener securely), you do NOT (more accurately, I did not, though you probably should not need to either) need to add the network key to the zwcfg file (as explained here, which is what you should do if connecting a secure device for the first time).
All you need to do is be relatively close (my lock is about 10 yards away from the controller), use “Add Node (Secure)” in ozwcp, go to the lock and enter your 6-digit programming code followed by ‘0’ (note that this is for the Schlage Connect – the pairing protocol may be different for another lock and Schlage’s web site will have info on how to put the lock into pairing mode). After it pairs, save the zwcfg file on the ozwcp page (top right), then after exiting, copy the zwcfg… file in your ozwcp directory to your ~/.homeassistant directory, and you will now have a “lock. …” item in hass.
As turbokongen said above, there was a fair amount of latency at first with ALL z-wave devices. But after a minute or two, it is back to normal (for example, on the first try to lock/unlock from hass, it took a good 15 seconds to work, and my z-wave activated lights were about 5 seconds late–but then after a minute or two, it was all back to being near-instantaneous).

Do you still have questions about this? I am currently testing two approaches for the locks: one using HASS with the z-USB Stick and the other using Wink. I have two locks working using both instances:
With Wink you have more functionality out of the box, like the ability to add and remove users and assign temporary access codes, also it shows your battery levels and it can alert you, if you are running low, etc.
Using the z-stick you can lock and unlock from HASS and create alerts when the lock changes its status and that’s pretty much it. To add the Lock I paired it ( Programming Code + 0) and from HASS. I used the option to add a secure node, I also manually created the key and added it to the options.xml file and copied to the directory where the z-wave is installed: config_path: /srv/hass/hass_venv/lib/python3.4/site-packages/libopenzwave-0.3.1-py3.4-linux-armv7l.egg/config.
Hope this helps!

following. I am currently having the same issue where the lock shows up but there is no control. I am having issues accessing my OZWCP though so I am going to do a fresh install and then circle back to lock pairing procedure.
if i am adding my lock using the latest version of HA with the Zwave utility built in…
should i still need to use openzwave ?
i have my network key in the configurations.yaml file.
i currently also get all the status messages but no control on the lock…
Thanks,
I never got my lock to pair succesfully with OZWCP - it would report status but not lock/unlock.
When we got the full ZWave support, I added a security key in my HASS config, unpaired the lock, and repaired with Secure Add and it worked like a dream, first time.
thanks, so i cant see how to secure add… maybe i am missing something…
but i did have a Key in my configs removed the lock and re-added…
interesting idont have add node secure… should i have enabled it somewhere?
Do you have a network_key in your HA zwave settings?
yup! thanks.
my problem was i had 2 versions “installed” one in a virtual environemtn the one actually running… so i just needed to upgrade the “running” version to current!
i not have add secure node and will try this out later on in the evening.
