Including A Yale Z-Wave Lock

In this video, Joe demonstrates how to include a Yale Z-Wave Lock into a Z-Wave network. All Z-Wave devices must be paired with a network for regular operation. This is necessary for controlling Z-Wave devices remotely and for using them with smart scenes. Pairing a Yale Lock with a network is easy.

One of the first things a user will need to do when setting up a new Yale Z-Wave Lock is to pair it with a Z-Wave network. This may be done before or after the actual installation process. A user might want to pair the lock before installation so that they can easily bring the lock close to their Z-Wave controller or hub. Having the lock in close proximity to the Z-Wave hub can help ensure that the process is completed successfully.

Before attempting to pair the lock, the user should first clear the device from the Z-Wave network. Even brand-new locks sometimes arrive with previous Z-Wave settings from factory testing. Clearing the lock first should eliminate this concern and allow the lock to be paired successfully. To clear the lock, first put the Z-Wave hub or controller into its exclusion mode. Then activate the enrollment function for the lock. You should receive notification that a device has been cleared.

You can then complete the process for adding the lock to the network. To do this, put your Z-Wave controller or hub into its inclusion mode. You can then activate the lock's enrollment function in the same way that you did when clearing the clock. The Z-Wave controller or hub should recognize the lock and pair it with the associated Z-Wave network. The user will then be able to control the lock from the hub or from an associated mobile app on their Android or iOS device.

Many alarm system owners will pair their Yale Z-Wave Locks with their security panels. This way, they can control their Yale Lock through an interactive service platform like Total Connect 2.0 and Alarm.com. Both TC2 and ADC have respective mobile apps that allow users to access their services from anywhere in the world. This is great if you ever need to let someone else inside your home while you are away. You can then conveniently lock the door after they leave.
