Trouble with Schlage BE469ZP

Products Ring Alarm
1

I have (2) different houses that are secured with Ring Alarms. Each of those houses, I have added in a Schlage BE469ZP Smart Deadbolt.

House #1 - Works great! I’m able to receive notifications when the door is manually locked and unlocked (via the turn piece) - and any App initiated Lock/Unlock, the App will immediately update it’s status to reflect it’s confirmed state.

House #2 - I just installed the BE469ZP the other day. I was able to add it to my Ring system without any issues - and install all the user codes, etc. This one however behaves a bit differently than House #1. I’m not receiving any status updates/or alerts when the door is manually locked. When I initiate a lock/unlock via the App - it does perform it’s request, however it shows an error message in unable to get status… Eventually, the App will then update and reflect it’s status.

I thought perhaps it it was a signal issue between the Ring base station and the door, and moved the base station closer - and still didn’t resolve the issue.

Looking for suggestions on what next to try. Thanks!

Hi @bwolfman. These are some steps you can try for your concern:

  • Double-check that lock and unlock notifications for the Smart Lock are enabled in the Ring app.

  • Verify that there is nothing that can interfere with the signal besides distance. For example, any other electronics around the Smart Lock and Base Station could interfere with the signal.

  • If you are using non-rechargeable batteries for the smart lock and the environment is experiencing extreme cold temperatures, make sure they are brand new non-rechargeable batteries because they do not perform well in the cold, especially if they are not new.
