Ivan James Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Is there a way to program solely off hitting the lock button when leaving? I don't see the option, but I'm hoping maybe there is a different driver or something. I can only program off lock or lock manually and I don't want to use either of those as I want it specifically for leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When person x used a code to unlock the doors set variable "person x" to true. A text gets sent they entered in my case. When they hit lock "if variable person x is true".....you enter your logic programming. Mine is send a text they left and set alarm. For housekeeper I have shut off lights and music too etc. then I change the variable back to false Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see how to do most of that, but I don't see how to do this part "when person x uses a code to unlock" is that supposed to be under Programming > Room > Kwikset Zigbee Lock? I see Username, but it only says changes instead of letting me specify which user and what they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the meantime do you have unique codes set for various people? That should be under monitoring when you click on the driver for the lock. Username1, 2 etc... if so under driver for the lock in programming you can do unlock "if unlocked by username1" ,etc trying to remember the lingo off hand. I can send screen shots tomorrow night. I use it all the time for my housekeeper and dog walker. Locks up, puts on alarm, turns off music etc just by pressing the lock button Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for a dog walker, my parents, etc, its basic unlocking/locking and alarm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvis Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Don't mean to hijack this thread, but my wife wants me to add 3 automated locks and we use Kwikset. What Kwikset locks work this well with C4? What driver do I need? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Kwikset locks work this well with C4? What driver do I need? you dont' have a ton of choices: https://www.control4.com/solutions/products/locks You cannot buy any Kwikset, Baldwin or Yale Lock. just the ones listed in here that have the proper C4 Zigbee chip. The Zigbee ones you see at Lowes/Home Depot will not work. Drivers are all free in the C4 database. I think Ari and maybe 1 other developer made some 3rd party drivers for August locks or some other locks. not 100% sure but I recall a few out there.

sonic30101 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Gotcha, some of the smart connect deadbolts from lowes/depot can be used if you source the right chip from ebay. Just wanted to check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvis Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 They are standard Kwikset "Austin" line. Will add 2 of the one I linked above. Too expensive to add the 3rd, and it was just for convenience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonic30101 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 That is it, a few years ago they were pretty easy to come by for about $50 so it was cheaper to piece the setup together that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see how to create a variable, and I see how to program off the variable being true, but I can't find where to set the variable for something that specific. I can only create a variable name and set it as true or false. I can't find how to make the variable for a specific user locking the lock. This is under Agents unless I am in the wrong place. I'm on 2.9 btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
