Can I use a Nexia Bridge -- without having a subscription -- to update/upgrade the firmware of my Schlage BE469NX deadbolt lock?

i think yes... cause de susbscription only lets you work with your connected devices when your not in your home network, by phone in any place you are.

It will work fine without it but you can buy the same door lock that is not Z-Wave compatible for about a hundred bucks less. I use the Vera Mi Casa controller with mine instead of the monthly fee nexus unit.

Yes, you would need a internet connection for either device to be used with a z-wave control system. You do not need internet connection for the lock to work on a door however but you would not want to purchase the z-wave compatible (Nexia) door lock and just get the regular lock instead...

It seems the lock does not have any form of wireless home automation technology (Z-Wave, ZigBee, etc.). It seems like it's compatible with external modules like a video phone and a remote wireless module (SHS-DARCX01), but I can't find any hard evidence. The remote mod would, if nothing else, at least provides a possibly hackable solution. I can't find any solid information about whether this module is, in fact, compatible tho.

You must have the Bridge to configure the lock. For security reasons, the Bridge and lock communicate on an encrypted protocol. However, each lock is preprogrammed with a randomized PIN so the lock can be successfully used as a standard electronic lock without a Bridge. If you elect to not use the Bridge you will simply not be able to change the PIN or access any advanced functions. Even without the Bridge, the lock is a high-quality electronic lock and is well worth the money.

NOT with the current factory firmware (V2 121017). You could "system tools, firmware upgrade" it with third-party "open source" router firmware to do so (enabling USB storage), but changing to non-TP-Link firmware "voids" TP-Link's express-written warranty. TP-Link not honoring their warranty in the U.S. (non-TP-Link third-party firmware or not) violates the Magnuson-Moss Act of 1975, Public Law 93-637, Title 15 United States Code paragraphs 2301 et. al.

You also need the Nexia bridge. This is what communicates withe the z wave devices.

It is compatible with other Zwave products, such as micasaverde, but they might not support all of the additional features. Here's what Schlage says: Nexia products are compatible with other Z-Wave based systems. However, not all of the features that the Nexia service offers will be available through other providers. If you would like to use Nexia products with other Z-Wave based systems, please contact yourZ-Wave provider to see if the specific product is supported. Please note that Schlage Home Indoor Cameras only work on the Nexia Home Intelligence system

I don't know that I could tell you what the "best" bridge is, I've only used the Vera Lite. But it works very well, and interfaces with this lock perfectly. There is also a user forum that is really good for helping sort out misc. issues that you might run into with setup or operation, not sure if that is available for the other systems.The Vera that I have has been absolutely trouble free since I installed it about 8 months ago.

If you do not use the nexia bridge then: This will work by itself fine but you do not have remote opening or monitoring capability. You need another zwave controller to remotely unlock it or monitor it. If you don't use the nexia bridge however other zwave controllers have more capability, work faster and do not require a monthly fee.

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.

There probably isn't a need for the firmware upgrade - I couldn't find an explanations of what the update includes. The table works without it. So if yours is working and you don't notice anything unusual - than don't update. :)

Yes, both keypad and keyed lock works as intended as a stand alone product. Keypad is programmable without any other equipment attached as well, supplied instructions are easy to follow. Yale also sells the same deadbolt/lock without the networking module for a slightly less and if you're not intending to utilize that functionality you can save a little money by purchasing the other version. The networking module can be bought separately also.

I have never had to update any firmware. I just load the copy and duplicate, I have never had to do that on any of my machines and I have been doing it fora long time.

No. All Schlage Nexia Cameras have proprietary firmware that makes them secure and unable to be used with other manufacturers Zwave or other IP systems without flashing with different firmware. Best to call Schlage Technical Support for any questions. There is a lot of good intentions and a lot of misinformation posted here. Also they continue to offer improvements and enhancements.

Yes. You can program the locks for codes manually, but you have to have the software to program the ibuttons.

Once you see the firmware version is 3xxx, you can upgrade to the version on the website since you know it's compatible. All you are really doing is making sure you don't have a model with version 1xxx firmware, which would not be compatible.
