Yale Conexis Smartlock - Z Wave Module 

Will it auto-lock behind you when you leave the house? Concerned if used on a HMO that people might forget to manually lift the handle each time they leave the house. Also what functionality, other than Alexa being able to lock your door, does smartthings actually give you? Can you manage access keys remotely? Say someone lost a key and you want to disable it without actually visiting the house, or you need to give access to someone who doesn't have a key while you're out of town etc. etc. These would be useful things to know from someone with the system, as this information doesn't seem to be readily available.

Great video and very informative! One thing I'm not sure of with this. When you lift the door handle to lock the manual way it also allows the catches inside the door to engage as part of the door mechanism. If I close my door and then later decide to lock it with the app, the lock will engage but the additional catches on the door won't as this requires physical process of lifting any handle (smart or not) to move them into position. I think the z wave module is only truly useful with doors which don't have a multi-point lock (mostly uPVC).

The motors inside the lock cannot engage the multi-point locking points. Only lifting the handle can do this. After you have done this you can remotely unlock/lock the dead bolt but what is the point? If you didn't open the door, the deadbolt would just reset to locked anyway. If you tried to remotely lock the door without lifting the handle it will not work. Same as you cannot turn the key until you lift the handle. But once you have, you can turn the key to lock/unlock as many times as you like and that is what he is effectively doing. If Alexa told you via Smart Things that the lock was unlocked you would have to go to the door and lift the handle. By all means Mr Tech, please prove me wrong but given what I was told by both Yale and Samsung today says you will not.

Hi there Could you answer this for me please. Do I need a Yale bridge to use this module or does this module work only with Bluetooth.

Do I need a smart things hub? or is the smart thing app with google home enough?

How did you find the battery life after you installed the Z-wave Module? I have read alot of reviews on amazon who mentioned the life of the battery went from 6 months to just under a week!

Will the lock lock automatically even if you not pulled up the Handel before hand

How did you get it to lock? It doesn’t seem to lock remotely. Just unlocks.

I have this lock and think it’s great, if I got this Z-wave module how does it impact battery life?

Can this work with Amazon Alexa or do you still need to have smartthings

Do you really need smart things or can you use any zigbee hub to work with Alexa?

Hi thanks for your video, does it works with Alexa Virtual ECHO Dot 3ª Generation? Thanks.

Hello! Where can I purchase it please ?

Hello 👋 there, I have a question ❔ if you can help me with , I have yale entr lock 🔒 and I want to find way to connected to wifi , thank you.

I do not have a Samsung Smartthing hub or an Alexa. Do I need one for the Z Wave to work? It would appear that all I have is the Smartthing app on my phone (which isn't even a Samsung phone)

Great vid. Will the module allow you to unlock with your phone without buying the hub thing.

A realise this video is quite old now.. but can Alexa now open the lock, given that it can now recognise who is speaking?

Does the Z wave module work with other Z wave systems or only Smart things? I already have Devolo Home control.

So no google or homekit support?

What's the difference with the green version, the 1?

i got "Yale Smart Living YD-01-CON-NOMOD-CH Keyless Connected Ready Smart Door Lock" already installed. if i buy "Yale SD-M1100 Smart Door Lock Z-Wave Module 2" can i open the door remotly from my app. i do not have any other smart systems like Alexa. All i got is Wifi at home. Please advise. Thank you

Does this mean you can lock the door without needing to pull up the handle ?? :)

Great video, really helped me, just got mine set up on the front door... but can't seem to get SmartThings to accept the ZWave2 module on the back door, any ideas?

Will the Yale lock actually lock without lifting the handle? Understandably, the multipoint locking system of the door won't engage, but it'd be good to know at least the middle bolt will be thrown across if the "lock" is actioned.

Great video 👌 just a quick question. I don't have Samsung Smarter Things but would really like this smart lock and to be able to open remotely as the wife keeps getting locked out ( I know lol ). Can I just get the Yale module? Or do I need the Zwave with SSST ? Cheers

Any advice on how one can get Siri, Yeah Google and Alexa to auto or do you need a smart thing hub?

I’ve bought a hub, conexis, 2x module (not z wave) and LED key pad for another door. Everything is physically installed and hub is connected. I can’t seem to find a way from start to finish on how to connect the hub with the devices, what app is good to download and then follow the procedures?

Is this UK based mudule compatible with US-purchased Ting security hub/ I heard that frequencies are different.

Always it’s very useful have a link available of product you talk about

Can I connect Zwave with Aeotec ?

is it compatible with Yale doorman v2n?

Can you program/set a Siri Shortcut used with Alexa to lock/unlock the lock? Eg. "Siri, open the front door"

I was told you could only unlock the door not lock it with the module, is it the Conexis L1 you have? I was told you can only lock by lifting handle.

So, if i want one of these locks and a module, what else do i need to buy to make the module talk to the internet? im a right in saying its the Philips smart bridge 2.0?

hi What is the name of the app pls.thanks

I've been struggling with this for ages, i don't have an actual smart things hub but i have a zigbee hub built into my alexa plus, and before i purchased the z wave moduel 2 i checked and was told it could work with the echo plus as the hub inside was zigbee. But for months now i've had no luck, the smart things app won't allow me to add the lock without a ziggbee hub registered, and can't seem to register the echo plus as a hub even though it's zigbe. So i've tried searching for the lock with the alexa app with my echo plus enabled and the smart things skill enabled as well, but after pressing the button next to the module, 3 times super fast it can't find it. Does anyone know a workaround way to do this, as i purchased the echo plus to use mainly with smart home stuff that doesn't work with my hive hub, which was pretty much just the z wave module, and after spending around £200 total on the echo plus and z wave 2 module i don't want to be spending over £100 on a 3rd smart hub in my home :(

Thanks for the video Everytime I try to lock the door using smartthings, The motor roars and then beeps 8 beeps (as if there is alignment issue). It locks manually but not with the app. I contacted Yale UK who advised that You have to lift the handle manually to lock the door !! Have you got any advise for me ?

I wish they’d just make a new model of this Yale smart lock that addresses a few of the issues so I wouldn’t have to buy anything but the smart lock kit and have it connect to Alexa or whatever.

Do i need smarthings hub, to pair z-wave module 2 with my phone

I forget my master code any idea how am I suppose to reset it

Do you have to have a Smart Hub to make the Z Module to work??

This wont lock mutifunsion lock as what is on most pvc doors , as the handle has to be lifted to engage the lock . So smartthings not much of a help.

Hi, how do I use this module with the Keyless Connect, please?

Anyone know how to add it to ring?

Does it work with HomeKit?

So do I need to have the hub in order to use this? Why can't my phone just work as a hub?

Is it compatible with Ring alarm system?

Your're English, it's pronounced ZED not ZEE!

Great video - really helpful but can you please stop saying "Alexa" ???

I would have subscribed had you not kept on setting off my Alexa.

thanks!

gah... my Alexa went crazy...

1:33 - Just plain not true.

Waste of time unless you can unlock by voice

I would never connect my smart lock to the Internet because then they can get hacked
