How to toggle Kwikset lock status??

[msbreton]

I'd like to setup an event or script to toggle the status of my Z-Wave Kwickset locks (lock if unlocked / unlock if locked). Can someone help with an example of how I'd set this up?

Thanks!

I'm struggling with this too. Driving me bananas!

Here's my shot at this but of course it's not working.


Sub Main
&If (hs.deviceStatus("Q19")=255) Then : hs.Transmit "Q19" "0"
Else : hs.Transmit "Q19" , "255"
End Sub

No idea what I'm doing though :bag:

Now I've got this, but I've still got nothing working

Sub Main
If (hs.deviceStatus("Q19") = 255) Then : hs.Transmit "Q19","0"
Else : hs.Transmit "Q19","255"
End Sub

I created events with manual trigger only and with actions to lock/unlock the doors, then run these in a script:

hs.TriggerEvent("Lock Interior Garage Door")
hs.TriggerEvent("Lock Front Door")
hs.TriggerEvent("Unlock Interior Garage Door")

hs.TriggerEvent("Lock Interior Garage Door")
hs.TriggerEvent("Lock Front Door")
hs.TriggerEvent("Unlock Interior Garage Door")

The trouble here is I would like to make a single button in HSTouch that toggles locked/unlocked. So I need one that toggles it to the oposite state. (I'll also figure out how to toggle the associated image on the button, so that it shows a lock vs. unlock image upon status change).

I tried doing this with conditions in events, tried doing it with a virtual device I created to use as a flag, and can't seem to get this to work properly any other way. Seems a script is easiest/cleanest. (If I can get it to actually work...)

Well, I got the script running without errors, but it isn't changing the lock status. But no more red in my log window!


Sub Main
If hs.DeviceStatus("Q22") = 0 Then
hs.Transmit "Q22","Locked","255"
Else
hs.Transmit "Q22","Unlocked","0"
End If
End Sub

After testing, this code brings up the proper message box. So it seems like my transmit to the lock is the only problem. Any ideas? Thx!


dim A
A = hs.DeviceValue("Q22")

If A = 255 Then
hs.Transmit "Q22","0"
'hs.setDeviceValue "Q22",0
MsgBox("LOCKED --> UNLOCKING")
Else
hs.Transmit "Q22","255"
'hs.setDeviceValue "Q22",255
MsgBox("UNLOCKED --> LOCKING")
End If

Looks like I'm not the only who who has had this problem.

I guess there's no way to operate the lock via script? Seems odd.

hs.TriggerEvent("Lock Interior Garage Door")
hs.TriggerEvent("Lock Front Door")
hs.TriggerEvent("Unlock Interior Garage Door")

DOH
I just realized what you are saying here -- I used these in my scripts instead and it works. Thanks!

Just curious....why do you want to toggle? I would think you would want to set it to a specific condition based on a specific circumstances.

Save button real estate on an iPhone screen for HSTouch. Right now all the lights are controlled by the little light bulb icons -- the icon both gives you the current status and also lets you toggle the status. Just wanted something like that for the front door lock.

Did a solution on how to "transmit" commands to door locks from scripts ever get identified?
