John1199 Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Hello community. I have a question about using Kwikset Signature 914 in Control4 system via zigbee. To control that lock via Control4 system I use Kwikset Smartcode driver (version 31). For first time I add lock to C4 system witout any problems, and can control it (open or close) via navigators. But after 1 hour pause, during which I didn't use the lock, I try to control lock again, but in this time lock did't react on my commands. To solve that problem I removed lock from zigbee network and then add it again. After these steps executing lock works again. What can be a reason of that problem ? Any ideas ? Firmware version of lock: 03.08.16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasBill Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 I have been working on getting some additonial locks nistalled - my first ones were ZWave and even though my Core-5 suports Z wave my house is too big and the locks are too far. So - back to Zigbee - I ordered several f the Kwikset 914 look with Zigbee and they simply will not add - I notice with irritation that they are Zigbee 3.0 and I suspect that Control 4 does not support 3.? Does anyone have any words of wisdom? What options do I have other than returning the locks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 You need the control4 zigbee card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
istreich Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Does anyone know the Zwave range of Core 5 receiver? Is there a way to troubleshoot? I have a Zwave card installed in a Kwikset lock a floor below Core 5 but it is not been detected in Composer Zwave module? Is there a way to extend Wave range such as upgrading antenna for example? Or adding a "range extender"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasBill Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 I have tried to use the ZWAVE and ZIGBEE Kwisket locks and have found the follwoing to be true - if you don't purchase them from Conrol 4 they will not ttach to your network. PRIOD. I have spent a large amount of ie and effort and the long and short of it is that you have to have a ZIGBEE card (or ZWave) FROM Control 4 or they simply will not work.

istreich Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Bill, I know this to be the case for the Zigbee one. But does not make sense for Zwave as no Control4 Zwave lock. And I remember seeing on the forum folks having success with the Zwave lock… assuming you have a Core controller with native Zwave activated. Am I missing something here?

istreich Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 And does anyone know if the Aeotec Zwave range extenders are compatible with Control4? looks like a useful and cost effective option. https://aeotec.com/products/aeotec-range-extender-7/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
