Hello all! Another exciting announcement to start May off. We have released OwnerRez-powered Door Lock notifications: battery level warning, first action attempted by guest, and any action attempted by guest. Available via Email and/or push notification.
Again, these are for Schlage, Igloohome, and Hubitat integrations powered by OwnerRez.
Enjoy!
I love the Schlage lock integration, it's simple and inexpensive and works great. And I like how it pulls lock code / code sync status to the booking record. However, I don't really have any automation around warning me when battery percentages drop down. I would like either a trigger or a system notification email to let me know when the battery percentage drops down below a certain threshold. As it stands, I have to navigate to the Schlage integration dashboard (which is buried in the settings menu) to view the battery percentages. RemoteLock was good about sending warning emails when I used them and I would like that same automation from the OR Schlage integration.
Yes this is planned, as the Schlage API does support this capability. No ETA though.

Hi folks, I don't see this feature available. Did this land and maybe I can't find it?
I would love to get notified when my batteries are low as we've had a few close calls recently.
Thank you!

Hey Kim,
Not yet. It's planned, but we've not reached a point to be able to push it into development yet. We'll keep everyone posted with updates here in the thread as they become available.
Would be great to see those sooner than later. Anyone know of a work around potentially using zapier or something?
I recently looked into creating a zap for Schlage and it's not available. You could create a zap if you use the Remote lock integration though.
Ok this is good to know!
Any update on the timeline for this? It's really important. I keep having batteries die on me because I don't have the time to incessantly check battery level in the settings.
Would love this, too many times it gets missed by cleaners or guests don't tell me until 10 pm and then its a whole thing.
To give you an idea of development pace, one of the most voted requests (Trigger For Exact Day of Week Trash Reminders) is going on 6 years and still not developed. I have no idea what they prioritize but you'd think the votes would mean something...

We check our battery levels on the OR website once a week. We have found that replacing the batteries at 75% prevents any issues. We have also found that using good batteries helps a lot. We use home depot batteries because they are the best value. We had terrible luck with Duracell batteries that we bought from Costco.

How low will the battery be when it notifies?
This is awesome! Thank you so much!
Just curious, if you have Schlage locks that aren't mapped to a property because we don't need the codes changed (e.g. owner's closets), is it possible to get notified about low battery alerts for them too?

Under the Schlage settings you can choose at what % level you want to be notified at.
Great feature.
I'm Workflow & Devices > Door Locks > Schlage (my locks)
but I don't see this Notification box in your screenshot.
Can you show the steps?

I haven't personally tried that, but yes, it should work as long as the lock is active in your Schlage account. If you click the Change button next to Property Mapping, you can see all the Locks' battery levels are present in your OwnerRez account (not just those mapped to properties). So they should send you a notification. Give it a try!

To set up the notifications you want, look under the Notifications menu item in the User Profile menu in the top-right corner. By default, First Action Is Attempted by Guest and Low Battery Warnings are enabled. You can also turn on Any Action Is Attempted by Guest.
To set the battery level you want to be notified at, that is under the Schlage Lock integration settings - Settings > Door Lock Integrations > Schlage Home > Change Button
