Hi,

Just got a Yale Real Living Lock ( YRD220-ZW ) setup.

The user code setup via InControl works great - however it would be even better if there was a calendar associated with each code for when they are active and disabled (start & end times, days of week, etc. - like how Microsoft implemented scheduling meeting 'recurrence' in Outlook). I know other controllers offer this feature.

I'm not sure how the other controllers and locks implement this feature - I know the Yale lock I have doesn't support calendaring directly, but it could work via software something like this:

'code active' timeslot is triggered - write code to lock
'code inactive' timeslot is triggered - delete code from lock

This feature would add a new level of functionality and flexibility to lock usage: It would be useful when you would like to issue guests/tradesmen/cleaners/relatives a unique code but don't want them to have 24/7 access.

Thanks in advance

According to this document:

Yale Locks - ZWave Developer User and Reference Guide - Version 1.3.2 - 05/30/2012 http://www.pepper1.net/zwavedb/uploads/resources/513c90984733a978c86885d00c0a99ef40dd8b72.pdf

The lock supports:

COMMANDCLASSSCHEDULEENTRYLOCK •Required Secure The lock supports ScheduleEntryLock V3.

COMMANDCLASSTIME_PARAMETERS •Required Secure The lock supports ZWave Time Parameters CC per ZWave specifications V9. The lock’s Real Time Clock (RTC) is powered by the same batteries that power the lock electronics. It is required that the Time Parameters are resent to the lock (resetting the RTC) whenever the batteries are replaced. The lock will send Alarm 0x82 whenever power is removed and restored to lock.

I don't claim to know what those CC's mean, but they seem to refer to the feature I'm asking for (schedule entry and time) so perhaps it is supported at a hardware level? If so, can it exposed via InControl?

Thanks again
