I decided to give this another try tonight after over a year.
I did the following:
excluded lock from Zwave JS
factory reset lock
configured lock with factory code
created a new S0 security key, replacing old one
attempted to include with S0 security
It looks like it included correctly, and it displays the correct name, model, FW version, etc, but it will not lock or unlock and does not show the correct status.
The Zwave log shows that the lock supports S0 security and that it tries to include that way, but later on it says supports security: false.

…and before you do anything else after a successful inclusion, physically lock and unlock the device by hand and watch for status changes on the device interface within HA.
I had to do that prior to successfully controlling the lock via HA.
I have the BE469, and in the HA zWavejs settings it’s branded as “by Allegion”, running Firmware 128.22.
For several years it was working just fine in HA, reliably involved in several automations such as auto-locking when the alarm is armed.
But recently the lock became basically unusable as a z-wave device. Nothing changed in my z-wave network’s physical layout (the others nodes and their locations). Brand new alkaline batteries were not the answer; I think the z-wave radio in the lock simply started to degrade and the signal distance got to be too far, coming and/or going.
I may try to get more nodes in the path between my HA device and the lock, but for now I’ve solved the problem by moving my HA device from its customary (mostly hidden) location and closer to the lock. Once I did that the lock magically started working like it used to in “good ol’ days”.
Lesson learned: before investing a ton of time diagnosing a lock that stopped working normally, healing your network, removing & re-adding devices, just try temporarily moving your HA device closer to it and see what happens.
I had two original BE469s (not plus) and after some troubleshooting with Schlage they eventually replaced them both (a few months apart mind you) with ZP models and the conclusion was the radios died, it started with having dead nodes for the locks repeatedly, sometimes multiple times a day. But at the time I did this those locks were less than a year old, so you may have trouble getting them to replace them at this point. Overall Schlage support was extremely helpful, but again those locks were still under warranty at that time.
All, pulling out my hair on adding this lock, process so far has been…
Exclude lock (this works)
Factory Reset (I assume this work as my manaul user codes are not there)
Add lock (i do this as fast as I can after step #2)
It seems to add fine, I get a bunch of green check marks when pairing however under controls I cannot open or close and under sensors it says unavailable even if I manually open/close the lock. Log below shows that something times out and after a longer period my lock beeps, please help

Sorry to bring back thread but how did you add the lock to HA in the first place?
I have zooz 800 usb stick and BE469 non-plus lock.
I can’t seems to add the lock to HA at all. I added Zwave JS UI, generated keys, then I added integration, now I am adding device, I go to the lock, hit schlarge button, enter 6 digit programming key, hit 0 and after several seconds the red checkmark flashes.
Tried at least 10 times. Detailed everything here
I never got mine to work. It worked with Vera Lite and with a SmartThings v2 hub, but it won’t work with HA. It will “include”, but it times out, like others have said.
If it was paired to another controller before, you need to exclude it first otherwise you won’t be able to include it again. I had the same issue when I was switching all my stuff from my old vera lite to my 700 stick on HA/zwave-js ui
P.S you don’t have to exclude it using the old controller/gateway. Simply start the exclusion process from zwave-js ui / manage nodes / exclusion then on the lock press the schlage button → programmer code → 0. The green checkmark will flash to confirm the exclusion.
After this do the same but with z-wave-js ui in inclusion mode.
Even if it had not been paired to another network before, it worth a try. I had a lot of z-wave devices that needed this over the years to be able to be paired. Looks like that excluding the device is the only way to do a real reset.
Had mine working perfectly fine with zwave-js ui for 2 years. Then I recently (last month) got a BE469+ on warranty (the keypad on the BE469 died and Schlage sent me the new version for free) and its working fine also. I’m using an aetoec 700 controller, I was also using a Vera Lite before switching to HA 2 years ago… The only issue I had then is was I descrived above, not knowing I had to exclude the lock to be able to include it again. Wasted a good amount of time figuring this out lol.
Thanks for the reply. I have excluded and factory reset probably 50 times trying to get this to work. I also tried enrolling with my NUC computer with Zooz stick right beside the lock.
The only thing I haven’t tried is taking the lock off the door, excluding, factory reset, and re-adding holding the lock up to the Zooz stick (instead of the other way around, though I don’t see why that should matter).
I did the exclusion/inclusion process with the lock still installed on the door with my aeotec 700 stick at its normal location, about 20 feet away from the lock and it worked fine. Maybe yours is defective. Try contacting Schlage, they have a good customer support, sent me the 469+ without asking any question (there is a lifetime warranty on this model), I just followed the steps here: https://www.schlage.ca/en/home/contact-us.html
If its a 469 it MUST be within 6’ to pair properly (uses whisper mode) Max security S0
if it’s a 469ZP (ZW+) it can pair at any range that Zwave is supported and will do S2.
If it’s a 469 and you used the exclude, then reset then pair with the stick slapped against the lock and it STILL doesn’t work - call Schlage - they have a good warranty. Im waiting for my non plus to die so they can send me a ZP
So I have the 469 and used to work fine, but recently was no longer working. I checked HA and most of the entities reported as not being supported by Z-Wave JS (wtf??)
Just out of curiosity, do any of you know why the userID info is not always present in the z-wave event notification of the 469+ ? With my old 469 (non plus), I was able to use zwave_js_notification to trigger automations based on the userID that unlocked the door (i,e userID: 1 or userID: 2). see image below.
With the 469+, the userID isn’t always reported under “parameter:” in the event notification, is it related to how S2 devices communicate vs S0 ?
Anyway, I figured out I could just use the “alarmLevel” parameter to know what user code was last used but I’m curious to know why the event notification is sometimes “incomplete” with the 469+
