Lazygirl Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I want to add a deadbolt with keypad to my front door. I was looking at Schlage initially, and was intrigued by the LiNK system, but then I discovered that Control4 would let me control the Kwik Set deadbolt without paying Schlage a $13 monthly fee. I already have two Control4 boxes (one each for two TVs), so here's my very basic question: Will I need to buy another Control4 box, or will my cost just be the $350 lock itself? Is there anything else I'll have to buy to make it work with my Control4 system? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henniae Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 You will not necessarily need to purchase another controller. The lock requires that you be running C4 OS release 1.8 so you might need to have your system software upgraded. Now depending on what hardware you currently have you may need to replace some of it to be able to upgrade to the 1.8 version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazygirl Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 Thanks, Alan -- my Composer appears to be version 1.8.2 (is that related to the C4 OS at all?), and my system is pretty new (October/November), so I'm hopeful I won't need anything new!

henniae Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 1.8.2 is the latest software. You should just be able to have the lock installed and added to your system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CFUG Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Just curious, did your dealer comment on this yet or did you just want to verify his/her information? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazygirl Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 My dealer hasn't gotten back to me yet -- I am expect to hear from them today, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
