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.
IS ANY WORK AROUND IT?
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.
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!
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?
Will the lock lock automatically even if you not pulled up the Handel before hand
No, the handle has to be pulled up to lock the door
Hi thanks for your video, does it works with Alexa Virtual ECHO Dot 3ª Generation?
Thanks.
Does the Z wave module work with other Z wave systems or only Smart things? I already have Devolo Home control.
How did you get it to lock? It doesn’t seem to lock remotely. Just unlocks.
Always it’s very useful have a link available of product you talk about
A realise this video is quite old now.. but can Alexa now open the lock, given that it can now recognise who is speaking?
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.
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)
I have this lock and think it’s great, if I got this Z-wave module how does it impact battery life?
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.
Do you really need smart things or can you use any zigbee hub to work with Alexa?
What's the difference with the green version, the 1?
Can this work with Amazon Alexa or do you still need to have smartthings
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?
Hello! Where can I purchase it please ?
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?
Is it within range? There’s a limit to how far apart the bridge and the lock can be.
Can you program/set a Siri Shortcut used with Alexa to lock/unlock the lock? Eg. "Siri, open the front door"
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
Anyone know how to add it to ring?
So no google or homekit support?
Is this UK based mudule compatible with US-purchased Ting security hub/ I heard that frequencies are different.
Do i need smarthings hub, to pair z-wave module 2 with my phone
yes, you need to use the smartthings hub to connect it
Does this mean you can lock the door without needing to pull up the handle ?? :)
02semiata I’d like to know this too as right now the module adds absolutely no value to the lock at all
nope....you still have to lift the handle to lock
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.
Good question... I would like the answer to this as mine doesn’t lol
The multi point locking system prevents the deadbolt from moving across unless the handle is lifted. This is part of the door and not the Yale lock system.
is it compatible with Yale doorman v2n?
Great vid. Will the module allow you to unlock with your phone without buying the hub thing.
Nope, it needs to connect to a hub. Obviously you can use the Yale app to do this but your phone needs to be right next to the door.
Tao of Tech thanks. Yale say this lock doesn't support split spindle configuration so not suitable for me annoyingly
Andrew Wilson They are easily hacked anyway so no great loss
Can I connect Zwave with Aeotec ?
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.
You can lock via Alexa and SmartThings is you have them.
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?
Samsung SmartThings is probably the best choice, also need the Z-wave module for the lock so they can communicate which I also have a video on
I forget my master code any idea how am I suppose to reset it
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
To open it remotely you need the z-wave module and SSST, the lock alone won’t do it
@@VirtualRealityPilot Hi, what is SSST? A quick reply would be ideal as I'm looking to order asap...thanks
I would have subscribed had you not kept on setting off my Alexa.
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 ?
Mina Girgis I got the same problem did you work this out
Yes me to . The only way around it I think is to change the locking system to twin locking . That will be as expensive as the lock'
Hi. I'm afraid the information in this video is not entirely correct for all door lock types.
If you have a standard single bolt euro-cylinder mortice lock in your door, the motor in the lock will rotate the barrel (in place of the key) and deploy the mortice bolt.
However, if you have a multi point locking system on your door, you normally must first turn the handle of your door upwards to throw the bolts on your door into place, before turning the key to lock the door, you must still do this manually.
The Yale Conexis L1 can't do this for you.
The motor in the locking mechanism mimics the turning of the key only in the door, which is why the mechanism only replaces the original key barrel.
One feature you do retain, however, is when the door is unlocked but the handled isn't turned to retract the bolts the door will re-lock after around 60 seconds.
I hope this helps explain your problem.
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.
Great video - really helpful but can you please stop saying "Alexa" ???
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 :(
Hi, how do I use this module with the Keyless Connect, please?
I think the module plugs in at the top, above the batteries
So do I need to have the hub in order to use this? Why can't my phone just work as a hub?
Do you have to have a Smart Hub to make the Z Module to work??
I bought one and smarthings app won't find it . Do I need a hub ? Still waiting for an answer on that
thanks!
Most welcome
Does it work with HomeKit?
I don’t believe so - no
@@VirtualRealityPilot It does with homebridge. Smart things connected to home bridge which connects to home kit
gah... my Alexa went crazy...
Is it compatible with Ring alarm system?
I have the same question. Other Yale locks are listed by Ring, but not this one. It seems like Ring should work with an Z Wave 2 lock, so I'm guessing it will work. I think I'm going to order the lock and find out.
@@mburkel hi did you get the lock if so does it work with ring? Thanks 🙏
Your're English, it's pronounced ZED not ZEE!
lol 😂
C.R.T it's not correct to call USA part of the UK anymore...
C.R.T but Zed is Zed
No... Zed is zed whenever the UK you’re from. That answer is bullshit, sorry. Stop pandering to americanisms.
No no no.
Zed is dead, baby.
1:33 - Just plain not true.
Waste of time unless you can unlock by voice
Yes , let’s make it nice and easy for burglars to enter our homes!
@@Kadaf1 my alexa responds to my voice only. i have cameras and motion sensors as well.
I would never connect my smart lock to the Internet because then they can get hacked
