Prerequisites

  • SmartThings app installed on iOS or Android
  • Schlage Encode Plus installed on your door
  • Wi-Fi network available at the lock location

Step 1: Prepare the Lock

  2. Tap the + button and select Add Device
  3. Choose Schlage from the brand list
  4. Select Encode Plus
  5. Follow the in-app pairing instructions

Step 3: Configure Lock Settings

After pairing, configure user codes, auto-lock timing, and notification preferences through the SmartThings app.

Step 4: Create Routines

Set up SmartThings routines to automatically lock the door at night or when everyone leaves home.

Troubleshooting

Lock fails to pair: Factory reset the lock by entering the default programming code followed by 0, then retry pairing.

Lock status not updating in app: Ensure the SmartThings hub firmware is up to date and the lock is within range of the Zigbee mesh network.
