troyfrezze Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I"m looking to buy a yale lock soon and add it to my system, but i'm not seeing the ZB locks anywhere. All I can find are ZW locks for sale. I see elsewhere on the forum someone asked if C4 would work with the Zwave and they said it should. Anyone know what's the status?

RyanE Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 ZWave devices are only supported if you purchase a 3rd-party ZWave bridge, and a (for sale) driver.i.e. ExtraVegetables sells a ZWave driver that works with the Mi Casa Verde gateway.I don't know the cost of the driver, but the gateway is fairly inexpensive.As far as getting a ZigBee Yale lock, a Control4 dealer may be your only option.Good luck with your project.RyanE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I'm also not sure if going ZWave will work with the Yale App. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanE Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 That's a good point, didn't think about that.I would *not* recommend using the ZWave locks with Control4, for that reason.The Yale (and hopefully soon) the Kwikset apps are *very* useful for setting codes, etc. I never set codes with ComposerPro anymore.RyanE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jobu604 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Is it possible to control/access the Yale locks remotely? Yale seems to suggest this on its website, but as far as I can tell that's not yet supported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pstuart Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Yes, via a VPN and MyHome PC or Tablet or iOS versions of MyHome... Done it a few times... Can't set codes or see history unless you use the Flash app using a flash based OS (no iOS)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pentium77 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 What's the current status of the Kwikset Deadbolt locks? I know the Yale app is very robust but the Yale locks are also 2x the cost of the Kwikset. I'm looking to get some locks and was able to get 1 Yale at a good price used however the other 1-3 deadbolts I'd rather spend less because they are in locations that aren't going to need a lot of changes / programming. I'll keep an eye out for more Yale but they probably aren't too commonly sold. So Kwikset is probably what I'll go for. Replacing my old Kwikset biometrics locks as one of them is broken, the electrical inside one of the locks has terrible corrosion and is now a "dumb" lock.
