Schlage smart connect wifi issue

#1

Hi guys so I had this lock paired and the button was showing up in app. I linked through amazon key.

Now the button has disappeared and I can no longer lock or unlock the door from the ring app.

I removed the amazon key account link and rekindled through amazon key app but still nothing. Pretty frustrating loosing the door lock button from the app randomly and the app thinks my amazon key is linked and working. Any suggestions?

If not I’ll probably be dumping this lock. Only reason I got it is because Ring has it slapped on their door lock page with video door bell combo. And It was available at my local Best Buy. Otherwise I would have grabbed something else.

If you are thinking about grabbing it I would stay away. Looks like Ring can’t even support it right even though they advertise it as bundle. I would stick to Z-wave lock.

Sorry to hear about this @Nkd83! Your Schlage lock and unlock option should be available during a Video Doorbell live view. While live viewing in the time line, please ensure the live view is in landscape mode/ view and tap the plus button. Then select the padlock to lock/ unlock.

If you still do not see this option, please check out our Amazon Key help center article containing steps for setup, FAQs, and guidelines on how to access these options. I hope this helps! :slight_smile:

Its not there under live view either. That is the frustrating part. It used to be on dashboard in the same rows as Nearby incidents and right next to the History button. and not sure what happened the ring app has totally lost that option for me. May be your staff needs to look in to it.

I seriously urge Ring to look in to it so its not mis reprentation on your end becuase something did break as it was working fine for a month.

Thank you for trying that out! As I share this experience with our teams here, please confirm the model of Schlage lock you are using. Keep in mind, all Key-compatible locks other than the Schlage Encode wifi Smart Lock, require a Cloud Cam as part of the Key Smart Lock Kit.

Hi, I’m having the same problem. I’m using the Schalge Encode Wifi Smart Lock and the Ring Video Doorbell Pro. Both are authenticated in the Amazon Key app. In the Ring app I used to see the little lock icon and be able to lock and unlock from the app. I’ve unlinked both Ring and Schlage from Key, individually and together, now dozens of time. I deleted apps and reinstalled them. Nothing. This functionality is quite important. I just want it back. Please advise. Thanks.

Hello @Nkd83 . When you said, “It used to be on dashboard in the same rows as Nearby incidents and right next to the History button” it was then that I realized that you are referring to the “Shortcuts” banner feature in the middle of the phone app’s Dashboard, correct?

Now I’m just guessing here, because I don’t have either the Smart Lock nor Amazon Key app. But if you are referring to the “Shortcuts”, a recent update to the phone app (in the USA) modified the “Shortcuts”, to add new features.

While on your main Dashboard, swipe left on the Shortcuts until you see the the “Edit” icon on the far right, and click on “Edit.” Then on this “Manage your Shortcuts” screen, you can now modify which Shortcuts you want to be displayed (Visible Shortcuts) or those shortcuts that you don’t want displayed (Hidden Shortcuts) on your dashboard. You can even change the order the shortcuts are displayed on the dashboard, by holding your finger on the far-right “=” icon, to then move each shortcut up or down (which will show up as left-to-right on your dashboard).

Remember you may have to swipe left/right on this Dashboard Shortcuts banner, if you have more than three Visible Shortcuts selected.

 @Nkd83 and [@Markesan](https://community.ring.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/84507) , there is a possibility that your "Locks" icon button got changed somehow to a "Hidden Shortcut" and therefore now set to not be displayed.  But  @Nkd83  you also said, "_Its not there under live view either_ " and I don't know if restoring "Locks" on your Visible Shortcuts will fix this or not.

I hope this helps you :slight_smile:

@Nkd83 I had this same frustration when I upgraded from the original Ring Doorbell to the Ring Doorbell 2. The Key lock was associated with the old doorbell under “linked devices” and it did not disconnect when i removed the Ring Doorbell. I had to readd the old device and unlink the lock from it’s settings, then remove the Doorbell again. I reconnected Key and it prompted me right away to choose an active device to associate the lock with. Might be worth a try for you to remove from any connected devices, active or not.

Hi @Boone,

Thanks for your reply. There is no way in my app to access the Shortcuts Menu. I’ve hit every corner of the app muliple times and it appears to not exist in my version.

As you described I tried swiping the tiles but that action only takes me to the main left hand navigation. From that nav, I’ve gone through all the options listed there many times and it’s not there. Another Ring Help Forum page said it was in Settings under “Location Settings” but it’s not there in my app. Btw I’m using iOS and have the latest version downloaded.

Hi Mark,

The new ability to “Edit” the Dashboard’s Shortcut is out, but it is a “slow-rollout”, so some of us already have this feature, and some don’t. But the good news is that it is coming to you. As to when your App gets is depends on multiple factors (your country, which part of the country you are located in, your cell provider company, etc). More information was in this thread:
