Is the Nexia Bridge required to set this up? Will it work remotely without the bridge? I'm thinking of setting this up at my condos.

I see someone said its a pain to set up it took me 5 min. To do it was very easy not sure why it was hard for them. You would not want to get this version if your not using the bridge. They have one that works just as a lock no bridge which I had as well but I wanted the remote stuff great lock and great customer service. I love it and have used it everyday for 4 years or so.

Yes, if you want to access the lock remotely. If you just want to use the lock on its own with the code then no. The Nexia bridge is a pain to set up but its pretty cool once you do, you can turn lights on/off, open the door, etc.

I have used several Schlage electronic locks and really like them. However, as I understand it, this model will not communicate without a Nexia Bridge. And then to communicate with the bridge a paid account with Schlage is required. Trying to be even in this reply as I find this irritating. I have multiple small buildings and wanted to be able to lock and unlock remotely. As a electronic lock they are very nice, but expensive. As a remote locking tool they may be very nice but are definitely expensive and with continuing maintenance (Nexia and local network maintenance) and a continuing expense (Schlage account).

You have to have the bridge. But it's easy to set up and it work far away from the lock. You will love it.

You need a z-wave controller at the very least in order to use the remote features. You can input and modify key codes at the lock itself, but you will not be able to access any functions remotely (over the internet) without a z-wave controller - VeraLite, Vera3, Iris, Nexia, etc. Without the controller, the lock behaves just like any other key code entry lock.

You will need a computer to set up the software/connection but after that you can go wireless and yes you can view remotely without computer attached. You must use DNS service for this to work.Not difficult to do but most instruction packs are a little weak. Plenty of help though online of you search. After you do one or two it becomes much easier. They make it sound more difficult than it is. You might want to verify range before making permanent mount as the ratings are all "line of sight", no walls hills etc. I use a software product called "Blue Iris" which helps manage and view cameras. The cost is modest plus free trial to see if you like it. There is a "Blue Iris" app for phone but I only use it when I'm in range of my router. (Security issues, don't want to open port to the world). Good Luck.

Yes, but careful - it doesn't actually have a bridge mode as advertised. You can still get the job done in repeater mode.

Yes, this was built for exactly that kind of use and environment. On initial setup, I believe that is the default behavior. Having said that, the one caveat with this device is the importance of the initial setup. It isn't difficult, but it will require a computer, network, proper cabling,and about ten minutes.

no functionality at all. You have to activate the bridge remotely through the website and only after you have an active subscription

well ..for me it didn't worked at all. I couldn't setup that damn thing at all and couldn't get support from ubiquity either.came bricked. But from specs i don't think it's designed to be used this way (repeater). If you wire-daisy-ching with another router it shouldn't be a problem having the same SSID. For complete wireless repeating purposes i've used Netgear WNR3500v2/U/L (with dd-wrt)

I'd contact megabridge directly through there Amazon contact. Not sure this unit will work properly overseas

NO you don't need Nexia... I am using with Smartthings Hub with excellent results...

This equipment is not supported by the Nexia network. Some functions work, others do not. You question does not say what network you are on.

I'm using the Nexia automation system. It works very well as long as one has a strong WiFi in the home. This lock will not unlatched it's self. It can be signaled to be locked or unlocked remotely but there must be a person at the lock to manually turn the latch.

I purchased a wireless bridge but I was not able to make it work. I don't believe it was the fault of the unit, I just couldn't get the bridge to receive a signal from my router. I achieved what I wanted by purchasing a Roku so I returned the bridge. I will try again when I get more time. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

You need the bridge to talk to your router. The locks cannot directly talk to your router. You don't need the bridge to use the lock manually.

Tech support is great and can even log on to your unit and program it if you can't solve it. It may be best that you have a little interest in such projects otherwise just let Nexia do it all I suppose. It's not Plug and Play... you get to actually think! Looking at your question again... paying someone to do it all for you would be "easiest"!!

No. You can get the UniFi controller software from their website. That is all you need to set it up.

no that I am aware of, please note that if you want to connect it to NEXIA you will have to pay a monthly maintenance fee of usd 10

I picked up one of these for $5 from the egg-heads to try to use as a wireless bridge. From what I can tell, it has a proprietary repeater mode that only works if you have multiple N150 routers. I do not see a way to use this as a bridge to another type of router.

If you have an ethernet (not wireless) available and you just want to connect it to a remote ethernet, they should work without any set up. However it is best to log into the device using a browser (and the included instructions) and set a password for security. You can also change other parameters (such as transmit power and transmit channel number) and even add a wireless node.
