How to pair your Schlage smart lock with your new smart device.

As smart homes become more popular, the number of devices we have in our homes is exploding, sometimes more quickly than we even realize. Do a count right now and you might be surprised by how many you have. (Go ahead. We’ll wait.) Whether you just upgraded to a Schlage smart lock, got a new smart home hub or decided to get more from your voice assistant than just asking Alexa about the weather, making all these devices work together is key to ultimate convenience. Here’s a list of resources to help you get connected quickly and easily.

Before you can sync your devices, make sure the lock is properly installed on your door and that you have the smartphone app that coincides with your hub, if necessary, and lock. You may need to create an account and complete some initial start-up steps via the app before pairing your devices. Find step-by-step interactive installation instructions for the Schlage Encode, Schlage Connect and Schlage Sense deadbolts online.

Use the Ring Video Doorbell to verify your guest’s identity before granting access
Add access control to your Ring of Security (doorbells and cameras)

Apple TV^®, iPad^® or HomePod

The Schlage Sense® Smart Deadbolt is compatible with a variety of Apple^® devices, including Apple TV, iPad and Homepod. Why pair one of these devices with the Schlage Sense lock and Bluetooth technology?

Control your lock and manage settings from anywhere with the Schlage® Home app and one of the Apple devices above, which can give you greater convenience and security
Allow your lock to work in tandem with other Apple HomeKit™-enabled devices in your home through the Apple Home app
Use Siri^® to lock and unlock your door for hands-free convenience
Receive notifications when the lock is used so you know who is coming and going from your home when the lock is connected to the Apple device or within Bluetooth range

To set up remote connectivity with Apple HomeKit using a compatible Apple TV, iPad or HomePod, open the Schlage Home app on your iOS device and choose “Continue with HomeKit.” Once you’ve chosen the “Continue with HomeKit” option, follow the instructions provided in the Schlage Home app.

Voice Assistants

Don’t forget that you can use voice assistants with your smart deadbolts, too. In most cases, you’ll need to use one of the smart hubs above to take advantage of the compatibility between your lock and Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant or Siri.

Amazon Alexa

Because of its built-in WiFi, you don’t need a smart hub to connect your Schlage Encode Smart WiFi Deadbolt with an Alexa-enabled device. To start using your Schlage Encode lock with Alexa, access the Alexa app on your smartphone, choose the Schlage Home skill and follow the instructions in the app.

If you have the Schlage Sense Smart Deadbolt, all you need is the Schlage Sense WiFi Adapter to use Alexa. Again, follow the instructions for the Schlage Home skill in the app.

If you have the Schlage Connect Smart Deadbolt with Zigbee technology, you’ll need Key by Amazon, Echo Plus or Samsung SmartThings. Use the links below for instructions on how to connect your Schlage Connect deadbolt with Zigbee to Alexa.

Samsung SmartThings is also compatible with Schlage Connect Deadbolt with Z-Wave Plus technology, as are Wink and Ring Alarm. Use the links below for instructions on how to connect your Schlage Connect deadbolt with Z-Wave Plus to Alexa.
