I've used Samsung smart things as a hub and it works really good. Also second Ultraloq smart locks as someone mentioned, seems well built and functions seamlessly. Actually like it over the Yale Locks I've had

We will get the 3 lock integrations we're wrapping up released and then see how things go but it will likely be a while before we look into further direct lock integrations.

We discussed with Yale/August's parent company and it is cost prohibitive for us to do direct integration (i.e., Wi-Fi-based locks) at this time. Our goal with direct integrations is to offer a cost-effective option to our users.

However, we will be able to still support Yale/August locks via Z-Wave/Zigbee because of our upcoming Hubitat integration. So, we will support Yale/August but via a smart controller, not the Wi-Fi versions.

Hello, will there be a common door function to integration with the Schlage Encode? Thank you.

Any update on timeline for release of the Schlage Encode integration? About to invest in redoing all of my locks as Schlage Encode and would love to know when I'll be able to integrate them with OwnerRez directly.

Will this include the hubitat/z-wave Yale update too?

I saw Hubitat has recently released the c8, is that the hub that will be required? Just trying to plan ahead.

Thanks!

Hello! We'll be able to share what is included closer to or at release so users can make informed decisions. As with any v1, it may not meet everyone's needs, but it will be a solid alternative for many.

Hospitable also integrated with Schlage Z-wave easily.  This is proving to be a big speed bump with OwnerRez.  And very not happy about having to pay for another integration.

Recommend making a new feature request for the Z-Wave locks.  This Feature request is specific to the Schlage Encode Wifi locks (no hub) as it is one of the most popular locks.  I appreciate that Ownerrez has listened to our feedback to provide direct integration with this lock.  Remote lock still exists for other lock variants as a solution for now.  No PM software is perfect and has EVERY feature but I do appreciate that Ownerrez has a way to request a feature and let the community vote on how important those features are.  Definitely helps guide their development focus!

Yes, that is the current plan at least.  If not at the same time, they will be very close with Schlage and Igloo coming first.  Dev review and testing are going on right now on all of the above.

I saw Hubitat has recently released the c8, is that the hub that will be required? Just trying to plan ahead.

Our Hubitat app should work on C8 as well.  We are using C7 in our testing, but my experience with C8 is that it is functionally the same.  There is no reason the version alone should stop anything from working.  There will be an "OwnerRez App" that you install into Hubitat that will drive it and expose/use whatever Z-Wave or Zigbee locks are attached to your Hubitat controller.  Doesn't need to be Yale.  Just any "lock" type device that is registered against the hub.

Someone mentioned splitting the Hubitat/Z-Wave feature to another feature request.  I agree that that would be good, but am unsure how to do that at this point given how much conversation has gone on here.  And again, the Hubitat release will be with (or on the heels) of the other, so they are kind of becoming the same thing.  All of the above will be part of our new "OwnerRez Powered" lock section.

Thanks! We just got an email that it’s now included at Hostaway and were hoping that OR had this in the works - this will make things easier! :)

We discussed with Yale/August's parent company and it is cost prohibitive for us to do direct integration (i.e., Wi-Fi-based locks) at this time. Our goal with direct integrations is to offer a cost-effective option to our users.

The Jervis OR integration (https://www.ownerrez.com/support/articles/integration-jervis-systems) includes Yale/August (both Domestic and International). I'm using both the Wifi and the Z-wave (via Smartthings) and the Wifi have more capability and a more robust sync

Jervis (https://www.jervis.systems/) supports almost every lock (Igloo is supposed to be coming very soon) and they are the only one that supports MyQ - you can have your guest check-in through your garage - no more battery issues and no more garage remotes left in the rental car. I have a property where I can't install a smartlock and this works great. They are also launching a web control this month so the guest doesn't have to download an app to use MyQ for entry. Plus you can enable almost any Garage Door with MyQ for $30 on Amazon ($50 for double door).

Plus they also let you manage Thermostats (new feature) and they are running a launch promo where you get 50% Off (So Thermostats are free if you do a lock) for 3 months (plus the 2 week free trial)... also they are telling me that they are going to offer Free Thermostats for rest of 2023 for lock customers. The Promo code is "THERMOSTATS"

 

PS For my properties it was around half of the cost of REMOTE LOCK and by far the best bang for the buck of all the systems I looked at and they have new features all the time

Hey OR Crew,

I had a feature question for you. Will the Schlage Encode integration feature the same ability to monitor battery levels like Remote Lock does?

Hello! We can garner that info from Schlage but we are not supporting battery levels for the v1. We envision a future release where you can see that info and even receive a notification from OwnerRez that batteries are getting low.
