Kwikset 914 model 450201

Products Ring Alarm
1

I have a pair of Kwikset 914s with a model number of 450201. I would like to know two things about them:

  1. Are they Zigbee or Z Wave?

  2. Are they compatible with Ring Alarm.

Attached is a pic of the stats. I fear that FCC number ending with “zig” means Zigbee but am uncertain.

Thank you for your time and patience.

I was curious when I read your post, and although I don’t own a Kiwkset 914, according to what I found out with online “googling” ;

Yes, the Kiwkset 914 does use Z-Wave technology.

And Yes, the Kiwkset 914 is compatible with Ring.

I appears that the Kwikset 914 comes in two different flavours, depending on model.

This is what I got from Kwikset support:

"Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to contact us.

We understand you are asking if model #450201 is Z-Wave or Zigbee. Model #450201 is a Zigbee unit, we have listed a few HUBs you can use with Zigbee locks.

Zigbee HUBs:

  1. SmartThings by Samsung
  2. Amazon Echo Plus
  3. Amazon 2nd Gen Echo Show
  4. Xfinity
  5. Rogers

I don’t think that the Model 450201 is compatible with Ring, unfortunately.

Dang that’s a pity . . . yeah, Ring uses Z-Wave, and if your lock variant is a Zigbee, and since Zigbee is Not compatible with Ring, it appears you are out of luck.

There might be some type of workaround. I believe Ring is compatible with Amazon Echo Plus and maybe, someone smarter than I, might know of a way to make your lock communicate to the Echo Plus, which can then communicate to the RIng.

But, I don’t own any Zigbee devices nor any type of Echo device. Those Echo devices still kind of creep me out, always “listening” in the privacy of my home. LOL :slight_smile:
