homebridge-zway-schlage-be469

A homebridge plugin to interact with Schlage BE469 locks through a Z-Way server. I mostly built this as a learning experience and found the existing Z-Way Homebridge plugin to not be quite what I was looking for.

My Setup

In my personal usage, I used a RaZberry on a Pi I had laying around. It worked quite well once I enrolled my devices in the Z-Way dashboard.

I have two models: the newer BE469ZP and the older (regular?) BE469. I'm not too sure what the defining characteristics are, however, the newer one has a dedicated Z-Wave enroll/unenroll button inside the cover and supports S2 Access.

For some reason, I had lots of issues with BE469ZP's association/lifeline settings. However, on the regular BE469 I have I was able to setup Niffler within the Z-Way server and polling was no longer needed.

Installation

Install this plugin using npm i -g homebridge-zway-schlage-be469.

Update the config.json file of your Homebridge setup to support this platform as described in the Configuration section.
