The locks that come with the module have a different back cover. Will the non-zwave covers hinder the signal?

No, it works just fine with all my locks. I think the cover is more for looks.
1270227
I can't say whether it reduces signal strength overall, but I can say that the signal is strong enough to reach my MiCasaa Verde halfway across the house.

Given that its metallic finish on the plastic I would guess yes, I have not noticed any difference in my application. The other odd thing about the locks with the built-in module is the cases are taller for some reason.

I had no problem, except during the first try... I got an error. I tried again and it successfully linked up with Lowe's IRIS. The back cover is the Same type of plastic case, just brass color instead of black. The only other difference is no lights on the keypad. It's been working for a month now, even with magic rules.

This is hard to tell, as I guess it depends on how your lock is made. Mine has a plastic back cover with a metal finish paint, which doesn't seem to alter the signal.

I installed one of these in my lock which was not purchased as a z-wave enabled lock. It has the matching(metal) cover - i have had no range problems. My z-wave controller and door are within 20 ft of each other - which may play a part.

NopeIt won't avoid annoying encryption noise either.No scanner will block encryption - but newer ones will bypassTDMA X2 - Gonna need a Uniden Home Patrol, Grecom PSR-800, Whistler 1080, Uniden BCD 436/536.The Radio Shack Pro 18 should get phase 2, but it's a stripped down version of the PSR-800/ Whistler 1080

Returned it. Would not do secure zwave. No locks. They said it would eventually be fixed with firmware. It's garbage.

I bought 2 of these locks and am trying to figure out how to use them with Z-Wave. Unfortunately, I don't think I can connect them to my Xfinity Home System. Is there any other way I can connect to a router to use with the App?

It shows: one side from your modem-router and the other to desired external antenna. ( the antenna can be omnidirectional or directional (like the yagi). To prevent somebody else connection...just configure one secure password to your modem-router. Hope be usefull. If still does'nt work right... suggest ask to one technician.

Not directly. You need to purchase a Z-wave hub like Mi Casa Verde's Vera. You pair Vera and the lock. Vera has iPhone App that will then let you control the lock

Not sure about hooking the zwave up but the alarm can be silenced by pressing the mute button.

I currently have ADT and have been told no. The zwave technology inside the door lock system is not the same as ADT.

I don't believe so for this model, however, my recollection is that there are a number of permutations of this unit including a Z-wave unit which can be set or changed over the web.

Not sure if it allows unattenuated signal through but when unplugged I still get some stronger stations. My guess is that there is at least a little attenuation of the original signal with LOP.

Is anyone worried about security when using this with Z-Wave? If I can unlock it remotely, can't someone hack it and do the same?

A friend just made the same upgrade and the answer for him was no. The connectors are different. Since the new unit comes with its transponder, no need to worry about it.

Yes it is. I have it tied to a MiCasaVerde Vera via Z-Wave. It does need a certain firmware version (3.7 +) to work properly and some of the ones I had ordered last year still came with an old version. Schlage has exchanged them without any problems. They really have an excellent customer service. Highly recommended locks... Once you get it, check on the label which contains the master pin, the firmware version is listed there as well. Additional hint: It uses the Z-Wave Security classes and not all devices can relay those, so if your lock is far away from your Z-Wave master system, you need to make sure you have some nodes inbetween supporting this.

Yes. Just use the switch provided in the installation kit to bypass the unit temporarily. AM stations seem to come through with the switch in either position.

No problems. Been using mine for about a year, but I'm not using the zwave.

It depends on what you mean by RF module.The lock comes with a Z-wave card. If you have an existing Z-wave network in your home, you shouldn't need to purchase anything else to use the lock and control it remotely.

I placed the booster on the outside back cover. It seams to help by raising the signal only one bar. I had terrible reception in my family room and dropped some calls. Now I do not drop any.
