Schlage Encode WiFi Deadbolt Install AND Programming for Android DIY

About a year ago I installed one of these Schlage Encode Wifi deadbolts on my Man Cave garage utility door. Wasn’t sure if I’d like it. Turns out I love it. Today I’m going to install a second one on my front door and show you how I did it, as well as go through the admittedly convoluted steps required for me to program it to my home wifi using the app on my Android phone and the app on the TA’s Android phone. The instructions make it look easy; that assumption would be wrong. The instructions aren’t all that helpful and there was a lot of trial and error to get it to work, especially when it came time to put the lock on the TA’s phone. It took me longer to program the app for our two phones than it did to install the deadbolt.
In case you’re wondering, the TA is my Task Assigner. The call of the TA usually starts with, “Hey, Hon …” or something similar; like a crashing noise and “uh oh…”

Do you know if there is a desktop control option to where I can just control the app from a website page on a computer? Read you can but can't figure out how to set it up. Where I work I am not allowed taking my phone inside

[@hangtime_31]

I would love that myself, but I'm not aware of anything like that, sorry!

[@SolitarySingularity]

Great video ... super awesome sense of humour. Love the step by step. One problem I continue to have is difficulty setting up the app with my WiFi. So much problem. I'm waiting for a call back from the support team.

[@hangtime_31]

I hope they are able to get it sorted out for you. Thanks for your comments!

[@SolitarySingularity]
